As we concluded in the last episode, legally speaking, Jeffrey MacDonald should not be in prison. One cannot honestly examine the government’s case against MacDonald and maintain that it proved his guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. That simply isn’t true.

Having acknowledged that, however, we need also to acknowledge the obvious. In many cases where all but one occupant of a home is murdered, the lone survivor is the murderer –– something the murderer will typically deny. It is a disturbing fact about us humans. The threats that haunt our imaginations come from afar. But the ones that actually materialize often do so under our noses. Many victims of violence are attacked by people they know. Many victims of rape are assaulted by people they know. And many murder victims take their last breath staring at the back, or into the spiteful eyes, of someone they know. The serpent that doomed Eden did not have to breach its walls; it arose from within.

So if we knew nothing else about the MacDonald murders, the fact that Jeffrey MacDonald survived them would place him near the top of our list of suspects. Well, what else do we know?
