Mr. Shakel/Kennedy, too long have you evaded what we in this country call justice. The parents of your victim wring their hands at how long the gears of our democracy grind. If not for your wealth and the prestige of your name you would not have gone forty years unpunished for your crime. You must have thought yourself pretty clever that while in your teens, aflush in affluence, you could bash in that young girls head. drag her limp body to her parents lawn dump her body on their lawn like trash and get away with it. And you might have, if not for your proud boastings to all who would listen that your Kennedy name would  get you out of it. The pride that you should have felt and strived to live up to was a pride in life. decency and self. These ideals I am sure were instilled in you by caring parents who wanted nothing more than the very best for their son. Your martyred uncles paid testimony to these ideals. Maybe their lofty ideals were too much for you to live up to. Or maybe your character was just lacking. Whatever the case your judgement will come, if not by the courts of man then by another court, one much much higher. How smug you must have felt, getting away with it for so long. Then after some time being found guilty at trial, appealing your conviction and still remaining free twenty years.Most anyone else not at your station in life would have languished in prison those twenty years even innocent, but not you Mr. Shakel, you were left free to continue your jet setting ways practically into old age. Now in your twilight years when most think of retirement and grandchildren you must think about the very real possibility of spending the rest of your days around individuals you spent your whole life avoiding. Let us all just hope that with this your next conviction, Justice will not have twenty more years to wait.
