The courtroom isn't just about justice.
It's about power and money and some truly bizarre loopholes.
I'm Michael Foote.
And I'm Melissa Malbrunch, and we've got a brand new show called Brief Recess, a legal podcast.
Every week, we talk about wild tales from court,
trials gone wrong, and cases and rulings that shape our world.
Today, we're going to be talking about stolen antiquities,
all the weird things Melissa found out in a state sale,
the crazy conversations I had with a bouncer and JK Rowling.
We make the complicated clear and the serious surprisingly fun.
From the Exactly Right Network, new episodes of Brief Recess drop every Thursday.

On the night before Halloween in 1975,
15-year-old Martha Moxley was murdered, but police failed to make an arrest.
Until in 2000, her one-time neighbor, Michael Skakel, was arrested.
He was also a cousin of the Kennedys.
The Kennedy connection is the reason that most people know about this case.
But the deeper I dug, the more I came to question everything I thought I knew.
