3. Michael Skakel
Sometimes freedom is in the family name. Michael Christopher Skakel is the nephew of senator Robert F. Kennedy, and grandchild of George Skakel, founder of Great Lakes Carbon Corporation — one of the wealthiest companies in the United States. Throughout the years Michael Skakel had his fair share of problems with the law, most of which involved drinking and driving. However, in 2000 he was arrested for a far more serious crime: the murder of Martha Moxley. Skakel has always maintained his innocence despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. With the help of his powerful family, in 2013 he was released on a $1.3 million bond and is now a (partially) free man.
