Skakel to parole board: 'I did not commit this crime' Skakel, dressed in tan prison clothes, read from prepared notes to the Board of Pardons and Paroles at MacDougall-Walker Correctional Institution Wednesday morning. Skakel, 52, a nephew of Robert F. Kennedy's widow Ethel Kennedy, was sentenced in 2002 to 20 years to life after he was convicted of bludgeoning 15-year-old Martha Moxley to death with a golf club. The panel quoted the sentencing court calling the crime serious, the effect on the victim and her family "supreme," and saying Skakel has been living a lie for 25 years. Santos has argued that Skakel should have been tried in juvenile court, where the maximum sentence for a murder conviction would have been four years. The state Supreme Court ruled in 2010 against Skakel's bid for a new trial, saying a claim implicating two other men in the killing wasn't credible.
