Part of it has to do with how much money they have to spend on
lawyers. You need look no further than a current case that involves a
Kennedy relative, Michael Skakel. Yes, in spite of having the best
lawyer money could buy at the time - his new lawyer just got him
released from jail on bail by claiming his original lawyer didn't
represent him adequately. What a crock. He killed Martha Moxley and
it's as plain as the nose on your face.
