Mickey Sherman Mickey Sherman is a partner of the law firm of Sherman & Richichi. A graduate of Greenwich High School, Mr. Sherman attended the University of Connecticut and its Law School, graduating with a J.D. in 1971.  Mickey is a founding member of the Connecticut Criminal Defense Lawyers Association in which he also serves as an officer and Board member; a member of the American Trial Lawyers Association, National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers; and a member/lecturer of the Connecticut Trial Lawyers Association.  Mickey served as an Assistant Public Defender in the Stamford Superior Court and was later appointed as an Assistant Prosecutor where he served for four (4) years. In 1976, he was appointed Assistant Town Attorney for the Town of Greenwich. Former public defender and prosecutor, Mickey has represented clients in a very wide range of criminal cases. His innovative courtroom and trial techniques have been the subject of feature articles in the New York Times, National Law Journal, The American Lawyer, New York Newsday, and other publications. In 1986, the New York Times questioned whether he undercut the entire jury system when he hired a juror from a deadlock rape jury to sit through the retrial of the same defendant as his consultant. After the second trial, the Connecticut Legislature passed a statute making such a tactic a misdemeanor.  His successful defense of a Vietnam veteran in a murder trial using the post-traumatic stress disorder defense was the subject of half-hour productions on CBS’s Verdict, NBC’s Dateline and a BBC series entitled, America on Trial. He represented Alex Kelly, the Darien, CT man who fled to Europe for 9 years before his double rape trial. After Kelly’s return from Switzerland, Sherman served as his witness in his trials, testifying as to the reasonableness of his fear of not being afforded a fair trial.  Mickey currently represents Michael Skakel, the primary suspect in the 23-year-old Martha Moxley murder case in Connecticut.  Mickey is a frequent expert commentator on MSNBC, CNBC, Court TV, Rivera Live, Fox News, NBC and other networks.
