		A nephew of Ethel Kennedy who has admitted lying to police about his rendezvous with a teenage girl at precisely the time police believe she was murdered 20 years ago, says he lied because he feared angering his father, sources told Newsday.

		Skakel's revised account, which was given in 1993, places him with Martha at precisely the time police believe she was murdered; although as he has in the past, he told the private investigators he had no knowledge of her death.

	Evidence Not Linked To Skakel - Newsday.com
		Skakel -- the nephew of Ethel Skakel Kennedy and the late Robert F. Kennedy -- is charged with the 1975 killing of 15-year-old neighbor Martha Moxley in the gated Greenwich community of Belle Haven, where they were neighbors and friends.
		But for the state to rule out Skakel as the source of the DNA without having samples from him strongly suggests the evidence came from a known source whose DNA is on file in the investigation -- most likely Moxley herself.
		Prosecutors have built much of their case against Skakel on the testimony of former classmates of his at a Maine school for teens with drug and other problems, who contend that he admitted to killing Moxley.
