In Episode 5, we complete our survey of the Grand Jury proceedings of 1974-75. This entails a careful analysis not only of Jeffrey MacDonald's testimony before the Grand Jury but also of Joe McGinniss's framing of that testimony in Fatal Vision. McGinniss tells his readers that government prosecutors masterfully cut through MacDonald's charismatic facade and thereby revealed to the grand jurors "the real Jeffrey MacDonald": a "chronic liar," repressed homosexual, and “homicidal maniac with psychopathic tendencies."
Was McGinniss's portrayal of the Grand Jury proceedings accurate? We answer that question and others.
