If you make life like a game than the chances of dying increase.

He was warned not to go out to fly, he had a broken foot or something like that and the weather forecast was bad...but a Kennedy can handle all that

I can't watch Robert Kennedy Jr., have to turn the channel. Maybe he wants name recognition? Who knows what his agenda is? Knight in Shining Armor syndrome? Who could know what's in his mind? I think a lot of people are beyond nauseated by the Kennedy's antics. Cumulative ick effect.

Robert Kennedy is trying to get elected and eager for fame and power like all of them. Jmo.

At least he has to stay in prison until he waits for the new trial. That picture of Moxley as a 15 year old is heartbreaking.

Whats wrong with Robert Kennedy...is it a speach impairment or left over from years of substance abuse?

The documentary about JFK showed that JFK used injections that incl. speed and not once a day but even days that he used it 4 x a day. I wonder if he would even be President in our era if that was the case...

I feel so sorry for the family of the murdered girl and that they have to go through this again. It seems the Kennedy name and power is still very strong.

In the end it is a huge family and it seem most of them have some kind of substance abuse and that circle doesn't seem to be broken.

They do seem like one big ball of dysfunction to me! Instead of holding each other accountable for their deeds and misdeeds, they try to get each other "off"! Very clannish, which to me is enmeshment, weird.

He has spasmodic dysphonia. But it's not because of his past drug use (he was a heroin addict)

Lots of misinformation about JFK. I don't believe there has ever been credible evidence that he took injections of speed.

What's the evidence that Skakel did it? I know, during the trial that the prosecution played edited audio of Skakel alongside a slideshow that was designed to influence the jury. It's shocking that they were allowed to get away with that.

But is there actual evidence that Skakel did it? Was his DNA found on the body? I read that he admitted masturbating in a tree near where the body was found. As weird as that sounds its not really evidence of murder.
