Paul K Nov 8 It was great to see a modern evaluation of the crime, the evidence and how it has played out over the last 50 years. I've read a lot about the murders over the years and read Fatal Vision. There's no doubt he did it. All the forensic evidence supports it and no-one else. The cops' theory fits the evidence perfectly and all kudos to them. The cops and Joe McGinnis got it right. Incontrovertably so. I'm surprised the Top Critics on here aren't more familiar with the evidence and have classed it as essentially unresolvable. It is not. They just haven't done their homework. They think the ramblings of a drug-added attention-seeking girl who contradicted herself many times is actually evidence to dispute the conviction??!! Stoeckley's story has been thoroughly investigated and found to have no merit in her claims nor were the people she claimed to be involved involved. This is old news. That said, the documentary is fascinating as it brings forward very well how people still cling to their theories no matter how strong the evidence is. Morris is a letdown in this regard and his research has since been shown to be largely flawed and incorrect. He seems to be grasping at straws and working from the premise that Macdonald is innocent and slanting everything towards that premise. He doesn't tackle the strong forensic evidence at all-just prattles on about Stoeckley. Anyone with half a brain can tell she's fantasizing. Just because she repeats the claims many times (while in between denying them) somehow means she's truthful, to Morris. He got it right once but not this time. His blinkered process diminishes confidence in him as a documentarian. See more Ed M 10/04/2020 Interesting documentary about the Jeffrey MacDonald murder case. Good not great.
