Editorial Review:
The true story of former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman's investigation into a Greenwich, Connecticut murder, resulting in the arrest and conviction of Kennedy nephew Michael Skakel. Starring Robert Forster (Mulholland Drive, Me, Myself & Irene), Christopher Meloni (TV's "Law and Order: Special Victim's Unit").
Description of Murder In Greenwich:
The made-for-TV Murder in Greenwich is a true crime story with a twist: the sleuth in pursuit of the truth here is former LAPD detective Mark Fuhrman, who gained infamy during the O.J. Simpson trial. Greenwich opens in 1997 with Fuhrman (Christopher Meloni of Oz), having relocated to Idaho and become a successful author, obsessed by the murder of Martha Moxley, a young woman from a wealthy Connecticut family who was brutally killed by an unknown assailant 22 years earlier. Fuhrman heads east, where his presence causes friction with the local law. But with the help of a retired cop (Robert Forster) who worked on the case, Fuhrman cuts through a maze of mismanaged investigations and cover-ups to place new suspicion on Moxley's wastrel neighbors, the Skakel brothers, who have familial ties to the Kennedys. Excellent performances by Meloni and Forster and direction make this a worthwhile case for true-crime buffs. --Paul Gaita
Murder In Greenwich Reviews:
DVD

1970s murder
2008-11-11 - We very much enjoyed this move. We already knew the story, but enjoyed the way the story was told and loved seeing Chris Moloney in another roll!
satisfied
2008-10-13 - I was happy with the the quality of the movie and it was delivered as promised...Thank you
Crime Drama
2008-04-02 - I love crime drama. I love true stories. This DVD is about a real crime that took place years ago and was never solved...
Perhaps this was God's plan for Mark Furman...to solve the murder of this young girl years after her death. I'll bet that Mark Furman would have never looked into this murder, had the OJ Trial NOT turned out the way it did...sorry OJ had to go free, but OJ will be punished for his crime..in God's time.
Gripping
2008-01-11 - I looked in every book and cranny I could find about the Moxley murder through the years. I have always been intrigued by the case and wondered why it took so long for someone to finally put this into television/movie form. If the Moxley murder interests you, I highly recommend this movie. It compliments the book nicely and gives a unique, creative perspective to looking through the glass darkly. I am convinced they finally got the right man, even though I don't necessarily agree with the way it all went down. Just think... if those rich folks had only told the TRUTH in the beginning and accepted the punishment, Michael would have been charged as a juvenile and most likely been out by now! He would have hopefully gotten some help and possibly even turned into a productive member of society. Instead, his own family contributed to his personal hell by bouncing him around reform schools and such, only adding to his misery, as well as to that of the Moxleys. The state attorney's office and those corrupt officials who sat and did NOTHING on this case for twenty something years should truly be ashamed of themselves. It's despicable and disgraceful! God Bless the Moxley family who had to wait so long to see justice for Martha. I'm glad the story continues to be told, that we shall never forget what happened to this beautiful, young lady in the town of Greenwich on Hacker's night in 1975.
