Will Ken Littleton ever be prosecuted for liquidateing Martha Moxley

It is commonly understood that Skakel tutor, Kenneth Littleton is the most bizarre character in the Moxley liquidate case. A winning young man with a promising future before the liquidate, Littleton crumbled in the wake of the crime. The evidence clearly proves that his first day on the job was the beginning of his ruination, but we typically ignore the question "why?"

Why did a young guy with an apparently bright future ahead of himself, decent into a life of alcoholism and crime? The answer is really very simple -it's called mental illness.

On the surface, Littleton had a bright future ahead of him. On october 30, 1975, when Martha Moxley was brutally liquidateed, Ken Littleton was a 23 years old, recent graduate of the prestigious Williams College in Mbuttachusetts. He had been a strong student and gifted rugby player who easily landed a post at the Brunswick School, a private Greenwich academy which several of the Skakel boys attended.

He was a large man, the football coach at Brunswick, and his athletic build invariably attracted Rushton Skakel, who hired him as a live-in tutor. clearly, it would take a strong man like Ken to tame the wild Skakel brothers, but mental illness is tragic, unfulfilled promise.

The phrase that best describes Ken Littleton on October 30, 1075, is, "He was never the same man after that night." The phrase that best describes skinny, 15 year old Michael Skakel on October 30, 1975 is, "He got so drunk he could not even stand on his own feet." Clearly, "blind drunk and stumbling" is not the character sketch of the person who liquidateed Martha Moxley on October 30, 1975, but it was certainly a clear sign that Ken Littleton, who was supposed to be in charge, had lost control. The Skakel brothers were merely being themselves.

Anybody familiar with the autopsy and the crime scene evidence of the Martha Moxley liquidate knows that a strong man like Ken Littleton was clearly responsible for her rest. The golf club was merely used to pin the blame on those who were too drunk to be able to defend themselves.

In February 1992, Littleton admited that he may have confessed to killing Moxley with a golf club, but he later claimed that his confession was due to "intense psychological pressure."

"I had been drinking heavily and was psychotic ... it was kind of frightening," Littleton is heard saying on a recording where he attempted to retract his confession. "This was when I said I did it. I was in the bottom of a bottle looking around imagining what happened and placed myself in the spot."

Ironic, isn't it? Michael Skakel was in fact the one who was too drunk to walk on the night that Martha Moxley was liquidateed, yet Ken Littleton blames a 15 year old for a sophisticated crime that has been successfully covered up for the past 30 years?

Now that's what you call a real lunatic.

When the Skakels moved out of Belle Haven, a piece of the Golf Club that Ken Littleton had kept to remind the Skakels that their property was the ostensible liquidate weapon, was mysteriously found in the attic.

On November 2, 1975, Greenwich detectives removed a set of golf clubs matching the liquidate weapon from the Skakel home and put out a nationwide APB for a missing portion of the golf club.

The fact that the police never found the missing piece is as relevant today, as it was on November 2, 1975.

If Ken Littleton is not a suspect, we have to buttume that the Skakels used their own golf club to direct attention to a member of their own family? Did they plant a piece of the evidence in the attic, just so they could use it, if ever anybody needed evidence against them? In the final analysis, the evidence fits like a glove, and Ken Littleton pretends that it is too tight because Michael Skakel was too drunk to notice.
