STAMFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, convicted three years ago of bludgeoning his neighbor to death with a golf club in 1975, will seek a new trial based on a claim by a cousin of basketball star Kobe Bryant that implicates two other people in the girl's murder.
Skakel's attorneys plan to file the petition for a new trial Monday. The Associated Press on Friday obtained a copy of the legal papers, which have been served on state officials.
Gitano ''Tony'' Bryant's allegation surfaced in 2003 after Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, was convicted of killing Martha Moxley in their gated neighborhood in wealthy Greenwich when they were both 15. Skakel, now 44, is serving a term of 20 years to life in prison.
