[The boy’s cause of death was listed at the time of an autopsy as multiple injuries/undetermined, even though an autopsy report identified the injuries as a fractured skull and numerous internal injuries.]

The state wouldn’t need Sherlock Holmes to figure this one out.

I wonder what evidence they have now, that they did not have then. Brainiacs, they are not.

Testimony of a witness, DNA, he may have talked to a third party. I bet the detectives knew he did it from jump street, but couldn't find enough evidence to convict him. He may have blabbed to someone, or they developed DNA evidence not available at the time.

That SOB and Kennedy cousin, Micheal Skakel, was finally convicted because he blabbed during a group therapy session, and communications made to other members of a group therapy secession are not privileged.

And why has the mother of the murdered child not been charged? What kind of disgusting pig lets someone murder her child?
