Skakel faces life in jail for murder
Skakel, 41, was convicted in June of the murder of Martha Moxley, bringing to a close a quarter-century-old case of the 15-year-old girl bludgeoned to death on the lawn of her family's home in Greenwich, Connecticut.
A nephew of Ethel Kennedy, widow of the late Senator Robert F Kennedy, Skakel faces a minimum possible sentence of 10 years to life and a maximum of 25 years to life in prison.
