It boggles my mind how killers like MacDonald manage to find people to support their spurrious claims of innocence.

Never ask a question to which you don't know the answer. The good doctor just had to push his luck. Oops! Cased closed. Just like in the title of Joe McGinnis' best-selling book on the infamous case.

His "current wife" - Who are these broads who marry guys who are serving life sentences? Maybe they just like knowing where their husband is? And what about the guy? I mean isn't being in prison bad enough with being married, too?
To: Peach
Yeah. As a doctor, Jeffrey MacDonald should have known this would drive the nails in his coffin. Oh well, it shows you that murderers can be too smart for their own good.

It is not like he had anything to lose. He is serving a life sentence and has already exhausted all his appeals. He has had Alan Dershowitz and all kinds of high profile attorneys. His problem is simple. He did it.

Um...
Er...
Uh...
IT MUST HAVE BEEN MARK FURMAN!!!

But for the efforts of Fred Kassab, stepfather of McDonald's murdered wife, he'd have gotten away scot-free.

I am not an expert and do not know the case very well, but there seems to be a lot of evidence pointing the other way, chiefly Helena Stoeckley and others being in the house and confessing later. I do not know what to think about all the conflicting evidence.
The crime scene was hopelessly muddled, much like the JonBenet case.

The hair of a former Army doctor convicted in the slayings of his wife and two daughters was found clutched in his dead wife's hand, according to long-awaited results of DNA testing made public Friday.

He's been milking this case for years. His followers are like a cult, few that there are.

Clearly the bushy-haired stranger had the DNA test faked, too.

IIRC, McGinnis believed MacDonald when he started writing
Fatal Vision and gradually changed his mind as the evidence started piling up.
The good doctor is another guy that I hope just goes away, finally.

"band of crazed hippies"
IMO, McDonald was playing the public sentiment over the Tate-Labianca murders with Charles Manson and his band of 'Helter-Skelter' crazed hippies.
