Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, the former Green Beret surgeon who was first cleared in the murders of his pregnant wife and two daughters and then convicted in 1970, will have what may be his final chance at overturning his conviction after spending the past 36 years in prison for a crime that many experts now believe he did not commit. Oral arguments before a federal appeals court will commence on January 26. The crime took place prior to the use of DNA analysis and new DNA evidence and a lot of other evidence, including evidence of prosecutorial misconduct, flawed forensic testimony, and botched crime scene analysis, provides powerful support for his story that intruders killed his family in what was in some ways similar to the “Manson family” murders in that same era. People Magazine investigative reports will culminate in its major cover story, available on newsstands on Friday, January 20. Here is a link to the People Magazine digital story today that precedes the cover story:

I believe Jeffrey MacDonald to be innocent. On the same day, Jan 24, 2017 Tim Casner is also in court, continuing a hearing on Dec 21, 2016. Hoping they both get justice. https://wronglyconvictedgroup.wordpress.com/2015/01/25/tim-casner/
