[edit] Parole

I recall when Skakel was about to be sentenced and the media were stating that, given the charges, he could be sentenced to a minimum of 10 years and eligible for parole in 7. The judge responded to this by stating that he would in fact spend at least 10 years and subsequently gave him 20 to life with eligibility after 10. But given the extensive appeals process, has his sentence taken effect nonetheless, meaning that despite continuous legal action, he could get out in 2012? And should there be a mentioning of the prison he was sent to? Thanks, Alan 74.130.228.165 (talk) 17:21, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Well... I don't think speculation will cut it with the hard-core Wikidrones, so most of what you bring up would be branded non-factual POV opinion. But certainly the prison he's in should be mentioned. Proxy User (talk) 20:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biography

While this "article" talkes about Skakel's crime and conviction, it really has no biographical information in it. Isn't that in and of itself a bit telling of bias? Proxy User (talk) 20:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
