About that time, Rush took Jimmy home in order that
be might be there by 10:30 pm in order that he could
watch Monty Python." Tommy did not go with
them.
Rush states that he came home at approximately 11:45
pm. At that point, Tom was in his room. Rush slept in
the same room with Tom. Rush stated that he retired
about 1:00 am and that Tom was asleep approximately
at that time. He believes that between 10:00 pm and
1:00 am, Julie, Steven [Stephen], and Michael were at
home.
Again, Rush told Dr. Lesse that while he was at the
Terriens, Michael was at home. Later in the
interview, Rush told Dr. Lesse:
At 11:00 am on October 31st, many police cars
gathered around the Moxley residence. "Michael seemed
to be the most curious one. He was going nuts. He was
in an obnoxious mood."
According to a Tom Sheridan memo: Michael's
aunt, Sue Reynolds, who spent much time at the Skakel
home after the Moxley incident, observed--that she
spent much time eyeball to eyeball with Tommy; and
she is persuaded that Tommy had nothing to do with
the crime." On the other hand, she has "very negative
vibrations with reference to Michael." Michael is
deeply involved in alcohol and not under control--he
is capable of anything" -- she also states that
Martha Moxley was at one time Michael's girlfriend.
This is a confirmation to Margolis. It has been
reported to him by others. This means that the
Greenwich Police know this fact.
There is more evidence, still, that Michael did not
get in that car leaving for the Terrien's
[Terriens']. Consider the striking
discrepancies between the way Tommy recalls their
departure versus the way Michael recalls their
departure:
Tommy's version: When Tom and Martha
were "fooling around" behind the fence, Tom heard
Rush, John, Michael, and Jimmy leaving for Jimmy
Dowdle's [Terrien's preferred last name] house. Tom
went over to the Lincoln and remembers having a brief
conversation with either Jimmy or John. While Tom
cannot recall what was discussed, he speculated that
it may have been about drugs, stating, "Jimmy was
into that." He stated he believes John was in the
front seat. In response to questions as to why he
didn't go with them, Tom stated, "maybe I wanted to
fool around with Martha some more."
Michael's version: Thomas Skakel
exited the house and announced they were going to the
Skakel [Terrien] residence to watch the
Monty Python Show. Michael asked Moxley to go with
them, but she declined, stating she couldn't because
her mother expected her home. T. Skakel said he
couldn't go because he had to study for an exam.
Moxley exited the vehicle and as Michael, Rushton
Jr., John, and J. Dowdell [Dowdle] pulled from the
driveway, Michael saw T. Skakel speaking with M.
Moxley near the side door. Also in the driveway were
Helen Ix, Jeff [Geoff] Byrne, and Marge
Walker.
