Students in their project found the Evers case not only helped to inspire other cases, it also helped to ensure the prosecution of Kennedy relative Michael Skakel, convicted last summer of beating Martha Moxley to death with a golf club in 1975 as she left his Greenwich, Conn., home. How so? Please, I'm lost.... unable to connect the dots from the Evers to Skakel.

Evers' killer (can't remember his name, James Woods played him in the film) was successfully prosecuted many, many years after the crime --much like Skakel.

The author or the speaker meant that life is sacred, whether a black civil rights worker in Mississippi or a suburban teenager in Greenwich, CT. But there did see to ba a little disconnect here, considering that the Everses were once so close to the Kennedys. Perhaps when Charles Evers switched parties, he forfeited his ties to the Kennedys; but Schwartzenegger still has his family ties to the Democrat clan.
