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?...

What is 50-50? Answer: Alex Trebek’s chances of remains as host of Jeopardy! when his contract’s up in 2020.
The 78-year-old game show host, who’s been revealing questions to the answers since 1984, told Fox News Channel’s OBJECTified that he puts his odds of staying aboard at 50-50 (“and a little less”) when his current contract expires in two years. Asked whether he can imagine life post-Jeopardy!, Trebek said quickly, “Sure.”
And he had a couple suggestions on possible replacements. (Watch clip below.)
Trebek told OBJECTified host Harvey Levin that he’s mentioned to his producers “the fellow that does play-by-play for the Los Angeles Kings,” Alex Faust. who just completed his first season behind the mic for the NHL club. Another suggestion: CNN legal analyst Laura Coates.
“There is an attorney, Laura Coates,” Trebek said. “She’s African-American and she appears on some of the cable news shows from time to time.

ABC, CBS and NBC broke into their programming Thursday afternoon to announce that a jury had found America’s TV Dad guilty of drugging and sexually assaulting Andrea Constand in a Philadelphia suburb in 2004.
CNN, MSNBC and Fox News Channel, meanwhile, took a break from their wall-to-wall coverage of Ronny Jackson’s scuttled Va Secretary bid, the confirmation of CIA chief Mike Pompeo as the country’s 60th — and President Donald Trump’s second — Secretary of State and the tribulations of Trump’s personal lawyer Michel Cohen to cover the historic Cosby news.
The 80-year-old Cosby, one of the most popular actors in TV history, faces up to 10 years in prison on each of three counts of aggravated indecent assault for drugging and then sexually assaulting the former employee of Temple University’s women’s basketball team when she visited his home seeking career advice.
