Barbara Grams, 19 and Jeffrey MacDonald

Fri Aug 28, 2020

in the news, a guy who was convicted in murder Barbara Grams, 19 was released due to DNA evidence. at present this is no suspect DNA match.

Innocent Florida inmate to be released after 37 years

this story reminds me of Jeffrey MacDonald

Jeffrey MacDonald was convicted of murdering his wife and 2 daughters in February 1970

they did not accept his claim of 4 intruders who said acid is groovy kill the pigs.


however, very important potential DNA evidence, such as a piece of torn skin under Collette's fingernail, which could have been tested with modern DNA evidence, was lost.

how did a torn piece of skin get under Collette's fingernail?

it could be her own skin or her daughters,

it could be Jeffrey Macdonald during the attack,

but if DNA testing excludes them, it would seem clear that there were indeed intruders who attacked and killed her.

the state and prosecution lost that piece of evidence.

they did find hair and foreign DNA, but it is not conclusive in proving Jeffrey Macdonald's innocence.
