STAMFORD, Connecticut (AP) -- A Florida judge on Tuesday ordered the elderly brother of Ethel Kennedy to testify before a Connecticut grand jury investigating a 1975 slaying in which his two sons are suspects.
Rushton Skakel, 74, of Hobe Sound, Florida, was ordered to testify about what he knows about the slaying of Martha Moxley, a 15-year-old Greenwich girl who was bludgeoned to death with a golf club.
...
The case stalled for years but was revived this spring by the appointment of a grand jury consisting of a single judge.

He and his lawyer should be screaming bloody murder (figuratively). ____________________________________________________________________ Lawyers ask the wrong questions when they don't want the right answers.

Why would this be "unconstitutional?" Are you at all familiar with the case? There seems to be a fair amount of evidence, circumstantial or otherwise, that would indicate a certain politically and financially powerful family used its influence to keep the two prime suspects in the case from coming to trial for over 20 years. One judge is better than nothing. OTOH, maybe a football, a few pine trees, and some vertical slope would do justice. (Or do you think there should be a statute of limitations involved?) -r.w.
