It was a serious miscarriage of justice. It's bad judges.
At this point, inmate is just amusing himself with these "appeals." He knows they're going nowhere. Obviously he will never be able to prove himself "innocent", which is what he must do now.
Thus, whining about past "judicial bias", etc., is irrelevant now. That part of the appeals process is over.
Yes Henri, it is your right to be utterly, completely wrong.
Still in a cage where he belongs.
It has been around 35 years since I read "Fatal Vision" for a mock trial in HS. I seem to recall that some motivators in the murders were cited as being MacDonald using amphetamines, and perhaps his desire to be "free"? Again, it has been a long time since I read it. What I am more interested in than anything else, is the psychology of this killer. I mean, he has stuck to his story. There must be some psychological analysis to support this sort of behavior. That part really fascinates me.
He has stuck to his story because he is innocent. I have never been persuaded that what MacDonald said happened didn't happen. The American public and even British public were duped in the same way as in the Madeleine McCann case, and JonBenet Ramsey case, and also American ignorance about the Taliban in Afghanistan being backed by Pakistan.
I fully appreciate that some people including women can be definitely bad, pure evil, and have no good in them at all. The psychology of it must be some kind of evil, or mental kink. There was a British TV show recently about British serial killers which was enough go make anybody's hair curl. The point is that MacDonald or the Ramsey parents or Madeleine McCann parents are not that type of person.
Sarah Palin spoke sense about the MacDonald case and about the Joe McGinniss slanders from that website I mentioned above:
"Palin wrote that she did not know for certain if MacDonald’s insistence that he was smeared were the “words of a murderer or an innocent man wrongfully convicted and then betrayed by a writer who lured the public into complacently accepting a false narrative.”
“I don’t know with 100 percent certainty,” Palin wrote. “But I do know from personal experience that McGinniss is a stone cold manipulative liar.”
After considerable research, Errol Morris describes McGinniss in a way in which he may be better remembered: “a craven and sloppy journalist who confabulated, lied, and betrayed while ostensibly telling a story about a man who confabulated, lied, and betrayed.”
None of that has anything to with the FACT that the scientific evidence totally obliterates the inmate's story. It proves that the murders couldn't have possibly happened the way he claimed.
Vile and defamatory rantings do not make you right, just unhinged.
The evidence stands and is the reason McMurderer will stay in his cage where he belongs.
MacDonald’s latest appeal stemmed from a motion he filed in November 2020 requesting that the Court grant him “compassionate release” and reduce his life sentences.
