Isbn: 9781594203435 - a wilderness of error: the trials of jeffrey macdonald (20 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Fair. Early on the morning of February 17, 1970, in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, a Green Beret doctor named Jeffrey MacDonald called the police for help. When the officers arrived at his home they found the bloody and battered bodies of MacDonald's pregnant wife and two young daughters. The word pig was written in blood on the headboard in the master bedroom. As MacDonald was being loaded into the ambulance, he accused a band of drug-crazed hippies of the crime.So began one of the most notorious and mysterious murder cases of the twentieth century. Jeffrey MacDonald was finally convicted in 1979 and remains in prison today. Since then a number of bestselling books-including Joe McGinniss's Fatal Vision and Janet Malcolm's The Journalist and the Murderer, along with a blockbuster television miniseries-have attempted to solve the MacDonald case and explain what it all means.In A Wilderness of Error, Errol Morris, who has been investigating the case for nearly two decades, reveals that almost everything we know about that case is ultimately flawed, and an innocent man may be behind bars. In a masterful reinvention of the true-crime thriller, Morris looks behind the haze of myth that still surrounds these murders. Drawing on court transcripts, lab reports, and original interviews, Morris brings a complete forty-year history back to life and demonstrates how our often desperate attempts to understand and explain an ambiguous reality can overwhelm the facts.A Wilderness of Error allows the listener to explore the case as a detective might, by confronting the evidence as if for the first time. Along the way Morris poses bracing questions about the nature of proof, criminal justice, and the media, and argues that MacDonald has been condemned not only to prison, but also to the stories that have been created around him. In this profoundly original meditation on truth and justice, Errol Morris reopens a famous closed case and reveals that, forty years after the murder of MacDonald's family, we still have no proof of his guilt.…

Hardback. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: fine. First edition. Fine (rem. stripe) in fine dust jacket. First edition, first printing. Hardcover. 524 pp. with index. Illustrations. The true story of Jeffrey MacDonald, a Green Beret doctor stationed at Fort Bragg, North Carolina who, in 1970 arrived home to find hid pregnant wife and two young daughters murdered; with the word "PIg" written in blood on the headboard in the master bedroom, the crime was eerily similar to the Manson killings of the year before---and as he was being loaded into an ambulance, MacDonald accused a band of drug-crazed hippies of the crime. So began one of the most notorious and mysterious murder cases of the 20th century. MacDonald was convicted in 1979 but author Errol Morris in this work re-examines the crime and tells the reader that almost everything we have been told about the case is deeply unreliable, and that crucial elements of the case against MacDonald simply are not true.…
