The US Supreme Court on Monday refused to reinstate the murder conviction of a member of the Kennedy clan, a case that has fascinated Americans for decades.
Michael Skakel, nephew of Robert Kennedy - president John F. Kennedy's younger brother - was convicted of murder in 2002 but freed in 2013 after a judge ruled he had been badly defended.
After several twists, the case was brought before the high court by a Connecticut prosecutor who wanted it to restore Skakel's conviction.
The nine justices declined to hear the case - a decision that requires no justification.
