KENNEDY cousin MICHAEL SKAKEL gets OK to hit the slopes and hide his GPS while awaiting retrial in brutal 1975 murder of 15 year old girl.
As THE ENQUIRER previously reported Skakel, 53, the nephew of Robert F. Kennedy's widow, Ethel, had been in prison more than 11 years after being convicted of murder. In October, 2013 a judge ruled Skakel's trial attorney failed to adequately represent him in 2002 when he was convicted in the brutal slaying of Martha Moxley who was bludgeoned to death with a golf club in a posh Connecticut suburb Greenwich when they were both 15.
State prosecutors are still appealing the ruling granting him a new trial.
But now, Skakel, has received approval to have a GPS tracking device temporarily relocated from his ankle while he attends his son's ski competition.
