Could Skakel Have Used A Worse Lawyer Than Mickey Sherman?

Mickey Sherman, somehow a famous lawyer, looks more like a cheap parody of a douchebag tee vee lawyer than some brilliant jurist.  Rough and tough, Skakel was convicted even though he was prevented by statute from facing trial on those murder charges in 2000.  Sherman should have had a slam dunk win, especially since Sherman had the reputation as a top-flite defense attorney.  Instead, it appears that Sherman was beyond incompetent and all the way across the border into negligent when he failed to win to stop the trial and then failed to put on a legitimate, million-dollar defense case.  Certainly the finding that Sherman was incompetent and negligent is astounding considering the high profile of the case and the parties involved, and the upcoming Skakel retrial will be a nadir for Mickey Sherman, even worse than his criminal conviction and marriage to Lis Wiehl.  I don't know if Skakel is guilty of the crime--but having such renowned fools and criminals as Mark Fuhrman believe in his guilt makes infinitely less likely to be true.  I suspect he is not, and a decent defense case certainly would have made a finding of guilty beyond a reasonable doubt impossible.  Sherman is fucking clown, and this case has been fucked up since ten seconds after the body was discovered in 1975.  Martha Moxley's killer will probably never be found; the Greenwich police were hopelessly out of their element and fucked up the investigation beyond repair.  Skakel probably didn't do it and almost certainly should never have been convicted given the threadbare case against him.  Guilty or not, Skakel was railroaded because of his family, and his defense attorney was an inexcusable buffoon.
