Skakel lawyers ID 2 men implicated in killing

STAMFORD, Conn. -- Attorneys for Kennedy cousin Michael Skakel, who is serving 20 years to life in prison for the 1975 murder of a Greenwich teenager, today identified two men they say have been implicated in the killing.

Skakel, a nephew of Ethel Kennedy, is seeking a new trial based on a claim by Gitano "Tony" Bryant, a cousin of basketball star Kobe Bryant, that two of his friends killed 15-year-old Martha Moxley.

Skakel's attorneys identified the two men in court papers as Adolf Hasbrouck of Bridgeport and Burt Tinsley of Portland, Ore.

A telephone message was left by the Associated Press today for Tinsley. Hasbrouck's phone number was out of service. The men denied any involvement in the killing when interviewed by The Hartford Courant in 2003.
