Jeffrey fucking Macdonald!!!

5. Sigh

I read the Joe McGinnis book and was convinced that MacDonald did it. After all, the black junkies, or whatever it was, was pretty much along the lines of the proverbial one-armed man from The Fugitive.

I haven't read the books arguing that MacDonald was the victim of a botched investigation, etc. But Errol Morris is not a hack or a lightweight. I haven't seen the film (is there also a book?), but a botched investigation in 1970 isn't all that hard to believe from the perspective of 40 years later, when reports of such awful police work and wrongful prosecutions are legion.
