Dorthy Moxley, mother of murder victim, dies at 92 after long fight for justice

Dorthy Moxley, the mother of murder victim Martha Moxley, died at 92 from flu complications. Dorthy fought for justice for nearly 50 years after Martha was killed in 1975, leading to the conviction and later overturning of Michael Skakel's conviction. Michael Skakel, a cousin of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was convicted in 2002 but released in 2013 due to inadequate legal representation. The Connecticut Supreme Court reinstated his conviction in 2016, but he was freed again in 2018 without a second trial. Dorthy Moxley's long pursuit of justice garnered significant public support. Her son, John, noted her gratitude for the community's backing throughout their ordeal.
