Oxygen’s “Murder and Justice: The Cast of Martha Moxley” reexamines a case that went unsolved for 44 years. A case that was strangely linked to the Kennedy family.
Martha Moxley was murdered on Oct. 30, 1975, just one year after her family had moved to Greenwich, Connecticut. She was 15 years old and was found beneath a tree on her own lawn after someone had bludgeoned her with a golf club and then stabbed her in the neck with the handle. For 23 years, the case stalled, until her former neighbor, Michael Skakel, who was also 15 at the time of the murder, was arrested. Host Laura Coates opens up the case in the special, and describes the case as “a remarkably striking and terrifying experience.”
“As a mom, I cannot imagine what it has been like for the family,” Coates, a former prosecutor specializing in sex, drugs and elderly crimes, told TheWrap. “Will there ever be justice for Martha?...

FX has teamed with American Chopper producers Hank Capshaw and C. Russell Muth for Or Best Offer, a reality series project set in the world of used car salesmen. The cable network has ordered a presentation from the project, which Capshaw and Muth are producing with Alex Campbell. Like American Chopper, Or Best Offer centers on a father-son team. The father owns a used car dealership; his son works for him. Or Best Offer is not so much an exploration of the used car sales world but a character piece set in that world, FX vp current programming and alternative series Eric Schrier said. "It's a look into the world of used cars salesmen who are in search of the American dream in depressed post-industrial town only to find that the American dream is rusty and broken down," he said. In addition to American Chopper, Muth and Campbell worked on another Discovery Channel documentary series, American Casino. Capshaw, Muth and Campbell are repped by Endeavor.
