Skakel innocent?

I have absolutely no brief against Michael Skakel. I'll admit that my gut reaction is that he is probably guilty, but I'm willing to chalk that one up to my ethnic dislike for the Kennedy clan. [Basically, as an Irish Catholic, I hate aristocrats - even if they are Irish Catholic aristocrats.] Anyhow, TalkLeft: Skakel: What Went Wrong makes an interesting case for Skakel's innocence. However, missing from TalkLeft's analysis are the many, many instances where Skakel confessed to murdering Moxley. Frankly, unless there was a convincing explanation for Skakel to confess to cold-blooded murder years later to complete strangers, I'm inclined to think that the jury had substantial evidence for its verdict.
