The lawyer for Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel says he hopes a new podcast will finally clear his client's name in a 50 year murder case.
The NBC podcast 'Dead Certain: The Martha Moxley Murder' released its first episode on Tuesday.
It takes us back 50 years ago to Halloween 1975 when 15-year-old Martha Moxley, a rich and beautiful teenage girl, was found beaten to death with a golf club in her own backyard.
It was a ritzy and supposedly safe Greenwich neighborhood.
Attorney Stephen Seeger gave News 12 Connecticut a picture of Michael Skakel from his high school yearbook.
Seeger wants to show that Skakel was a scrawny kid that looked more like a little girl, and he was teased about that. Seeger says he wouldn't have the strength to kill Moxley.
Skakel served more than a decade behind bars for the crime. He speaks on the podcast with Seeger and tells his story.
Seeger says the podcast is introducing new evidence in the case that has not been heard in court, but he thinks after this podcast it will.
"You're going to hear from people that actually had their statements taken back in 1975. We have audio recording, we have old FBI reports, we have police reports. Some of these items never ever surfaced in a trial. The witnesses may not surface in a trial," said Seeger.
There have been many other suspects talked about in this case, including Skakel's own brother Thomas.
The first five episodes of the podcast dive into the history of the murder case, but Seeger says many episodes are planned and they will be telling for Skakel's future.
