Thanks for posting.   I believe it gives insight to the convicted murderer mindset

Hi all, I just re-read, Scales of Justice, Fatal Vision and FInal Vision.  I enjoyed reading them all again.  And it makes me wonder, when you read "The Voice of Jeffrey MacDonald"  in the beginning of Fatal Vision, he sounds so normal.  But one episode really struck me.  After Freddie had turned against him and confronted Jeff about having an affair w/ a woman who visited him while he was under house arrest in the military, he blew up.  Told Freddie , he did not have an affair w/ 15 women, but that how he twists the true, it was 1 woman for 15 days.  And even after Freddie told him he had personally spoken to the woman, Jeff strongly denied it.  Also, the  Helena Stockley story, I think Jeff had, in fact, seen her walking on around w/ a floppy hat, that is why he included her in his fabrication.  And I do the Jeff had a very violent temper but 99.5% of the time he was able to control it and was fine.I have always suspected that something happened w/ his temper, which is why he went to Texas. The description in the follow up in Fatal Vision w/ the boat and the little boy AND Michael Franzese both reinforce this.  I think the night of the murders, he had an episode which in conjunction w/ his drug use especially the speed drug he was taking resulted in 10 minutes of insanity.   Finally, it defies belief, that the strongest person in the house, was attacked first or at the same time as Colette and one child  was allowed to live.  That makes no sense at all. Because the intruders would have had to be in the house of what, another 15 minutes at least?  And he was unconscious the whole time from a slight bump on the head?  And don't forget there had to be at least 6 people in the house, 4 in front of Jeff, I with Collette and 1 with the child.  Six people let the strongest person by far live, impossible.

I wonder if JMac is going to combine a parole hearing/ compassion release situation into one when his health condition becomes more severe.   I just don’t believe that he’s ok with dying in a prison scenario. . Even if for 1 day, JMac wants to die a free man

But in a last ditch parole hearing he may combine many different issues to die outside prison.   If course they’ll all be under the “give me parole “ banner.
