Jeffrey MacDonald (Ad-free)

On February 17th, 1970, the military police at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, responded to a distressed call from Army surgeon Jeffrey MacDonald. Officers entered his home and found Jeffrey’s wife and two daughters dead. MacDonald claimed they had been attacked by a group of “hippies,” but ultimately, he was the one who was arrested and convicted of murder. Join Mike and Gibby as they discuss Jeffrey MacDonald. This is a case that divides people, with some believing Jeffrey is not guilty of murdering his wife and children. A woman who matched the description MacDonald gave admitted to numerous people she was at the crime scene. But there is a lot that points to his guilt as well. MacDonald has spent decades fighting his conviction, but he remains in prison.

Not a fan

The two hosts were so opinionated and I found them to be disrespectful. Small comments and jokes at the expense of either the suspect or witnesses were very distracting to the story. It was clear what they’re opinion on the case was very early on. The topper was the “voicemail fan review” they played at the end which basically promoted violence in small, rural towns.
