That's horrible! I don't think I remember it yaelle..the name sounds familiar.

What was the final conclusion? Did he go to jail?

I remember the Jeffrey McDonald story, Yaelle. I saw the movie and read the book. Karl Malden was great, wasn't he?

Kim, he was finally convicted. He is in jail now, has a website and all, still proclaiming his innocence, and apparently still assuming that his own wonderful self is the most important thing in the world to everyone.

The creepiest thing I remember about the McGinnis book was when the author described going into the military housing where the crime had occurred--9 years after the fact. All had been left just as it was the day the MP's investigated the scene. Even the food items in the refrigerator were still in there--and the refrigerator had been chugging along all those years, never having been unplugged. Ice cream that was 9+ years old in the freezer!

Sorry if this has been answered: I believe Jeffrey MacDonald sitting in jail now. The author who wrote a book about this case went into it thinking MacDonald was innocent. By the time he was done interviewing him, he had changed his mind. The book, much to MacDonald's suprise, was slanted towards his guilt.

Yeah, they finally got Dr. MacDonald. It took over 10 years, I am sure, to get him, though. He did LOTS of TV shows and interviews, always expressing his innocence. Yet his story of the way things happened was really full of holes. Another arrogant b*stard who thought he was smarter than everyone else. He practiced medicine and lived at the Marina in L.A. chasing skirts and sailing yachts while they tried to build up a case against him.
