Jeffrey MacDonald "Kills" one of his "Assailants"

[RIPmyers]

I have no pity for this arrogant asshole. He killed his wife and kids.

[mlc2005]

Why would Jeff think that him killing ONE of the "murderers" would cause Collette's parents to not "worry about it anymore?" That's the emotional reasoning of a sociopath.

[jksonny]

@mlc2005 MacDonald just wanted Freddie off his back. Kassab and his intense focus on the case worried Jeff and he wanted to pacify him, while looking like a macho, avenging angel at the same time, probably to make up for his (according to Jeff's story) inability to save his family. That would explain why he told the same story to at least one other person. I'm sure it killed MacDonald and his sociopathic ego to have to claim that he wasn't tough enough to save his wife and daughters.

He should have one more life term added to his sentence for killing his almost six month term fully developed baby boy

[charlybear98]

for all those who are still "convinced" of Jeff's "innocence", read "fatal vision". Then explain why Mr. (ooh sorry, DR) MacDonald's story does not fit with ANY of the physical evidence, whatsoever. Oh, and when you tell me how he passed his drug test, remember they didn't test for amphetimens in 1970! I could go on and on and on, there's so much evidence against him. a mountain. HOW does ANYONE think he's innocent??!!

[1lricardo]

Thank God for Freddie Kassab, and "jksonny"--- if not for their efforts, I'm ashamed to say that I'd fall for MacDonald's story-- hook, line, sinker. B/c of "jksonny's" suggestion, I've even downloaded "Fatal Vision", from Audible Audio Books, and have been listening to it, as read by the late, great Mr. Christopher Reeve. Reeve REALLY did a great job w/ all the voices; he does a great impression of Jeff, AND a dead-on Alfred Kassab. He even imitates MILDRED Kassab expertly! He was SO GOOD.

[jksonny]

@1lricardo I'm glad you enjoyed it. I've never heard the audio version but I bought it for my father recently and he was also impressed with Reeve.

[karmalevel]

@1lricardo i am getting the audio book, i read FV over and over for 20 yrs and I love cHRIS Reeve!!

[Hoth1907]

If someone is lying, their eyes turn left to acces their fantasy, so to speak. Also, touching the nose is a common thing when people are not telling the truth. Look at interviews with MacDonald and make up your own mind...

[lostindiancamp]

It's really scary how close MacDonald came to getting away with the triple murder of his family. I have no doubt that if he had gotten away with it, he would have killed again. Very likely the next woman that he married and got tired of.

[karmalevel]

@lostindiancamp I believe the same thing

[antwan37]

This man is so obviously innocent. I would bet all my money on it. How can u people be so deluded? The bitch CONFESSED, she explained the motive. the prosecutor is a CONVICTED CROOK. jesus!!!What phyisical evidence? Wbat contradictions? because the china wasn't broken? and he had a magazine about c.manson on the table? What about reasonable doubt? Have u heard of it. This is sickening. The whole process and all u people condemning an obviosly innocent man. namaste.

[Gwyka]

@antwan37 Please stay away from the nearest casino, 'cause you are fool with your money. Lots of evidence he did it - the holes in the pajama top didn't get there the way he claimed, Colette's blood on his top before it was torn, none of his blood in the living room where he was attacked, Helena's story doesn't match his ("We talked to him for about 8 minutes about getting us drugs; he agreed to call to get us some, but tried to call the MPs instead" - nothing in his story matches that), etc.

[karmalevel]

@antwan37 Hi Jeff's wife!!!

[BettinaBalser]

@antwan37 Go to Google Images and see the butchery MurderMac inflicted on his wife and children that cold February morning, and then compare what you see to the photos of MurderMac taken in the hospital that same morning. Four hippies? Just like Manson, right, MurderMac. Remember this: the Manson killers took out Steve Parent, Jay Sebring, and Voytek Frykowski first.

[melfaery]

1:20 you can see the toll their daughter's/granddaughters death had taken on these poor people. RIP Kassabs

[asemina2u]

This world.....u will never get out....thank god...there is some people u have brains 2know u r the monster that u r !!!...

[asemina2u]

He is the scum of

[jksonny]

@HUSKY57887 In the end, it doesn't matter which was written first. What matters is that Macdonald is a psychopath.

[kfag101]

Jeff is acting all the time! 

[jimpurdie]

also 1 important thing it was pouring rain. that night and there was a wooden floored hallway so if there was outsiders in there there would be footprints from the wet shoes this is an animal who snapped and sliced his kids throats,a good liar mixes in a little truth with a lie ,i think the kid was saying daddy daddy daddy when he was attacking her.!

[jimpurdie]

the prosecutor looked like macdonalds long lost twin!

[bunkieb00]

No wonder Mac did not want Kassab to have that transcript!! He woulda been put away a lot sooner....

[kfag101]

Jeff has no empathy for ANYONE but himself

[bunkieb00]

RIP Fred Kassab. He was truly his stepdaughter's and grandchildren's avenging angel. He was far too canny to be manipulated by this monster...

[jimpurdie]

@bunkieb00 a great honest loving man

[Ariakas7708]

RIPmeyers you should read "Fatal Vision". I don't know if thats the same book you're talking about or a different one, but I'm reading iFatal Vision right now and I can tell you, it damns him hard. THe author really in so many words lets you know what a self indulgent, narcissistic pig he is wether he is guilty or not.

[kfag101]

Rip Freddie and Mildred!

[RIPmyers]

:32 he says I don't think it's wrong to try to rebuild your life after a tradegy and I refuse to appologize to that.......what an arrogant piece of shit. He was screwing some girl in the barracks when he was under MP's arrest just 2 months after his family was butchered. What kind of person would do that. If my family was butchered I would have to be hospitalized lol with emotional problems probably and be devasted

[jksonny]

@RIPmyers And what makes him a sociopath is that he tries to blur/mask the real issue with the "I refuse to apologize" comment. No one has ever asked him to apologize for attempting to rebuild his life. It's part of his paranoid psychosis of always presenting himself as someone's/something's victim, the government, the Kassabs, the hippies, the public, the press, Joe McGinnis, etc., etc.

[RIPmyers]

@jksonny I was tempted to buy the book Fatal Justice but I don't wanna read bullshit lies lol that come from him so we know the truth in what he did.....he just won't admit to it but he will face God someday and judgement Day will be then.

[jksonny]

@RIPmyers You were right to not waste your time with 'Fatal Justice.' I read it and it's a sham, a con job. In other words, it perfectly reflects MacDonald's warped personality. And the recent DNA results, which only pointed back to MacDonald (of course), make the book even more irrelevant.

[TOMMYTOMA4]

I read the book and think it makes sense. I Think Him Killing His Family is harder to believe. I Think Fatal Vision was mostly joe mcginniss's slant on things, and how he could sell alot of books. I Think Jeff Is Innocent!

Just One Mans opinion.

[RIPmyers]

I have just read Fatal Vision again for the 4th time and have the made for tv movie on vhs and looked up stuff on the net and still think he is guilty no matter what he says. I think he killed Collette cause they got into a fight cause she found out that he had affairs and he went bezerk that night and killed her and accidentally killer Kimmy but the real murder was on 2 yr old Kristen.

[jksonny]

@RIPmyers I agree 100%. MacDonald is as guilty as OJ.

[kylas124]

@RIPmyers seriously you have to throw Fatal Vision in the garbage Joe already admitted that he thought and still thinks Jeff is innocent he wrote the book making it look like he was guilty because he had already been paid a 300,000 advance and the publishers told him once jeff was found guilty to write it that way hes admitted this in a court of law and he was found guilty [ Joe] was the publishers who were backing him we at fault for the outcome of the book

[RIPmyers]

@kylas124 Joe doesn't think Jeff is innocent at all. He paid MacDonald $300,000 out of court just to get it over with and not go to court so much. Joe in the beginning was hired to write a book and then believed in his innocence for awhile but then realized Jeff's manipulating self and then realized he made a huge mistake especially between the years 1979 and 1982.

[BettinaBalser]

@RIPmyers True. Mr. McGinniss basically had his entire life destroyed by the murders of Colette, Kimberly, and Kristen. He paid off MurderMac to get him OUT of his life for good. The trial and the writing of Fatal Vision nearly killed Joe. He also struggled with the fact that he actually liked Jeff MacDonald, the person, who is also a murderer. McGinniss felt bad for MacDonald, to have had it all and to throw it away like that. A shame.

[kfag101]

macdonald has a richie cunnigham kind of person, this is a mask that he perfected in childhood.

[scaramoochscaramooch]

Freddie Kassaab really saved this trail..Mac's family get Butchered...and he gets basically a few fricken scratches. Any loving father in their right mind would do anything to saved his family, let alone this man is a former Green Beret!!!

[shadrach7]

I think jeffery said it best when he said, (in talking about the government)" you can't go on lying forever" "you can't say something is black,when it's white". This is the real jeffery trying to convince himself of his innoence.

[jksonny]

I agree. Actually, when you watch/read Mac's interviews, just about everything out of his mouth that he directs toward the government and/or the Kassabs, applies perfectly to Mac himself and his story. And I think it's intentional; it's part of his obsession to manipulate, which is what being a sociopath is all about.

[bunkieb00]

I still say..if these "hippies" had it in for Macdonald, then why the hell didn't they attack him in the hospital parking lot? Why would they attack & kill his wife and kids? c'mon!!!

[jksonny]

Also, Colette, a very petite woman, fought so hard that: she had both arms broken, was hit in the head at least six times with a blunt object, stabbed nine times in the neck and seven times in the chest with a knife and stabbed twenty-one more times in the chest with an icepick. But MacDonald, a strong, in-shape Green Beret, had only a few wounds and they were all superficial.

As one detective said, "He's either lying or he's the biggest pu**y in the world."

[bunkieb00]

Exactly!! why the hell would "intruders" leave the guy who was supposedly special forces and trained in hand-to-hand combat alive?? If they were literally "out for blood", they'd've made damn sure his ass wasn't gonna get up again!!

[jksonny]

Exactly. And according to Mac's theory, HE was probably the target of the hippies b/c he either turned one of them or one of their friends into authorities for using drugs or had refused to give them or one of their friends drugs.

So, according to Mac, these bloodthirsty hippies break into his home (but without weapons - all the weapons came from the Mac house) to avenge themselves upon Mac. They slaughter his wife and two daughters but leave the actual target with minor injuries. No way.

[kfag101]

I hate jeffrey macdonald! an evil man

[77Merav]

He is sociopath or psychopath?

There is one book - Without Conscience, Robert D. Hare.. that describe overwhelmingly the features of the psychopathic personality. it's seems that MacDonald is/ was psychopath..

thanks for the video...(I just bought the book - "Fatal Vision"- Mccinniss)

[jksonny]

I have a hard time separating sociopath from psychopath. I'm not a psychologist but IMO, psychopaths are people with the elements of sociopaths that also have a strong urge to commit violent acts (Ted Bundy, for example). While sociopaths will use violence to get what they want (Scott Peterson, for example), they typically don't use violence for violence's sake. As for MacDonald, I would guess he's a sociopath with psychotic tendencies.

[jksonny]

In 'Fatal Vision,' McGinnis goes into his theory that abuse of dangerous diet pills sent MacDonald, already a sociopath, into a psychotic rage. It's an interesting idea, especially when you compare it to the evidence. It seems that MacDonald killed Colette and Kimberly as a psychopath and then Kristen as a sociopath, to cover up the other crimes.

[Gwyka]

I get teary when I see pictures of the little ones.

MacDonald is evil.

[jksonny]

I agree. He's a sociopath, bordering on psychopathic.

[AhmadKaau]

thank you so much ..... i read the book of "fatal vision" ..... would you please put more segments

[mschessy]

Thank you so much for posting this video. This man is a classic Liar and Sociopath, both he and his new wife sicken me.....

[vjwileycat]

Thanks for this. This is great. I can see how this swayed Kassab in the end. Watching this guy give an excuse for such a lie just drives it home that he is also a control freak of the worst kind. What a dumb move. The man had no sense.

[jksonny]

He's definitely a sociopath. He will say anything to anyone at any time.

[will0505]

MacDonald is such a low life.

[jksonny]

He's a pure sociopath, but an interesting one.
