Murder in Greenwich

Buy This Item Murder in Greenwich by Sony Pictures  Available from Amazon  $14.94  on 11-4-2008     The made-for-TV <I>Murder in Greenwich</I> is a true crime story with a twist: the sleuth in pursuit of the truth here is former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, who gained infamy during the O.J. Simpson trial. <I>Greenwich</I> opens in 1997 with Fuhrman (Christopher Meloni of <I>Oz</I>), having relocated to Idaho and become a successful author, obsessed by the murder of Martha Moxley, a young woman from a wealthy Connecticut family who was brutally killed by an unknown assailant 22 years earlier. Fuhrman heads east, where his presence causes friction with the local law. But with the help of a retired cop (Robert Forster) who worked on the case, Fuhrman cuts through a maze of mismanaged investigations and cover-ups to place new suspicion on Moxley's wastrel neighbors, the Skakel brothers, who have familial ties to the Kennedys. Excellent performances by Meloni and Forster and direction make this a worthwhile case for true-crime buffs. <I>--Paul Gaita</I> Reader Reviews I looked in every book and cranny I could find about the Moxley murder through the years. I have always been intrigued by the case and wondered why it took so long for someone to finally put this into television/movie form. If the Moxley murder interests you, I highly recommend this movie. It compliments the book nicely and gives a unique, creative perspective to looking through the glass darkly. I am convinced they finally got the right man, even though I don't necessarily agree with the way it all went down. Just think... if those rich folks had only told the TRUTH in the beginning and accepted the punishment, Michael would have been charged as a juvenile and most likely been out by now! He would have hopefully gotten some help and possibly even turned into a productive member of society. Instead, his own family contributed to his personal hell by bouncing him around reform schools and such, only adding to his misery, as well as to that of the Moxleys. The state attorney's office and those corrupt officials who sat and did NOTHING on this case for twenty something years should truly be ashamed of themselves. It's despicable and disgraceful! God Bless the Moxley family who had to wait so long to see justice for Martha. I'm glad the story continues to be told, that we shall never forget what happened to this beautiful, young lady in the town of Greenwich on Hacker's night in 1975.
