Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, was convicted on August 29, 1979 of the murders of his wife, Colette, and his two daughters, Kimberley and Kristen, at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The murders occurred on February 17, 1970 while Captain MacDonald was serving as a doctor for Green Berets in the Army. Captain MacDonald was court martialed but a military judge did not find sufficient evidence to proceed with a trial. Captain MacDonald was honorably discharged from the Army. After persistence from Colette’s family, prosecutors in Fayetteville, North Carolina began to pay attention to the homicide case and eventually charged Jeffrey MacDonald with the murders of his family. MacDonald was found guilty by a jury of his peers and received three life sentences. Jeffrey MacDonald maintains his innocence to this day and continues to appeal his convictions.

MILITARY JUSTICE FOR ALL 
Jeffrey Macdonald is guilty as sin. My psychopathic stepfather didnt have a motive for shooting my mother but he did! He was also liked by most, handsome, intelligent & in the military during the Vietnam era. One very simple fact besides the blood & DNA is how on a rainy night 4 hippies on “acid” manage to leave none of their DNA? Their footprints in mud? No fingerprints on the multiple murder weapons that all came from the home. Deny a million times, a horrific crime perpetrated by JM who will soon rot in hell!!
Never underestimate to love of a daughter by her dad…
