Kennedy assumes the role of investigator and presents a detailed account of the mystery surrounding the 1975 murder of Martha Moxley in Greenwich, CT. Providing evidence that speaks to the wrongful incarceration of his cousin, Michael Skakel, Kennedy exposes the tainted motivations of a crime reporter, lead investigator, and Skakel's own defense lawyer. Constructing an exhaustive time line of events followed by a parade of suspects with inconsistent alibis and false testimonies, Kennedy offers a convincing case for his cousin's innocence. Although his delivery may seem hurried at times, Peter Berkrot's performance is consistent with sound vocal resonance. He provides a passionate narration that supports the story elements and invokes sympathy and disgust from the listener at key moments.
VERDICT Compelling, convincing, and current. A great listen for Kennedy fans, true crime aficionados, and conspiracy theorists, especially those who are already familiar with the names and events of this particular ongoing case.
