“If Joe McGinnis had not written Fatal Vision, There is no doubt Jeff MacDonald would never have been imprisoned.McDonald himself said that u0026quot;I will never live down Fatal Visionu0026quot;. People need to read Fatal Justice though because it tells the real story. McGinnis has been pretty much discredited. In 1993 he wrote a very unflattering book about Ted Kennedy. He freely admitted making up things and conversations and he did the exact same thing in Fatal Vision. For instance, he says MacDonald had been gobbling amphetimines before the murders and flipped out from psychosis killing his family. In a libel suit, he admitted under oath on the witness stand he wasnu0026#39;t even sure that is what happened. It was just a theory he said what MIGHT have happened. People who saw him before the murders said he acted completely normal and showed no signs of psychosis whatsoever. There was a man named Friar that told an eerie story that needs to be heard. The night of the murders, he escaped from the Fort Bragg hospital and stopped at a phone booth to call his Doctor who also happened to be a MacDonald. He accidentally dialed Jeff MacDonaldu0026#39;s house at the time the murders were taking place. He said a woman picked up the phone and she was giggling and talking incoherently. He said he heard male voices in the background. He said he heard one of them say u0026quot;Hang up the godamn phoneu0026quot;. He then said he heard the phone drop. The people who lived below MacDonald later testified that they heard a loud thump above their heads that night. The jury at the trial never heard this manu0026#39;s story. There was a carhop at a drive in on Fort Bragg that morning that said she saw a strange car in her service area. She said there were three men and a blond woman with a floppy hat, wig and boots who were telling her about the MacDonald murders. This was early in the morning before the news had even gotten out! How did they know this? There was a woman in a grocery store that saw these people as well. She said the woman had a strange red substance on her boots. She also said they smelled like blood. A night manager at a Fort Bragg Dunkinu0026#39; Donuts also saw these mysterious people. He said they washed themselves and left blood in his sink. The Army investigators told MacDonald that they didnu0026#39;t believe him because u0026quot;do you think there was a bunch of hippies just walking around that night rattling doors until they came to your apartment?u0026quot; Fort Bragg was a very dangerous place in 1970, there were all kinds of crimes committed on post involving soldiers on the base and hippies from nearby Fayetteville. There was a woman named Pendleyshok that lived next to MacDonald that said shortly before the murders someone broke into her apartment as well and sprayed obsceneties on her walls. There was a Lieutenant named Milne who lived near MacDonald who saw people carrying candles going towards his house the night of the murder. He also said that shortly before the murders someone tried to break into his car! It doesnu0026#39;t sound so farfetched now does it folks? I feel this man is innocent, but may never get out of jail. He was 26 when this hell began and is almost 59 now. He has been robbed of his family, his life, his freedom. It is a tragedy.”
