Well I will never stop believing in Dr. MacDonald's innocence. I think the guy was set up. When they couldnt find who did it, they needed someone to blame, he was a convienent guy to blame and he took the fall for it. As for the in laws, to be honest I find them rather despicable for what they did to Dr. MacDonald. Like how Alfred Kassab was the one that wanted MacDonald to go on the Dick Cavett show and he was seemingly on his side until MacDonald moved out to California and moved on with his life. Apperantly Kassab didnt start turning against him until MacDonald came home from California to visit his mother and he didnt see the Kassab's and Alfred was ticked off about it and suddenly decided that MacDonald was guilty. He had a bone to grind and he ended up making some money off MacDonald later on when MacDonald won that lawsuit in the late 1980's. Judge Dupree was another one that had no business being anywhere near this case and he should have recused himself. Kind of reminds me of Judge Maurice Paul in the Tommy Zeigler fiasco.

As for Freddy Kassab, he was not happy with the Cavett interview. This is what started his decline in not believing his son-in-law.

Dick Cavett hit it on the head pretty much with his views.

I still want to know abt a blonde synthetic hair after all these years. Were there any visitors in the McDonald home that wore a wig? I know they concluded it did not come from the children's dolls, but, what abt any visitors, family, friends, neighbors, etc?

Helena stating she tried to sit on the little girl's toy pony in her room, but couldn't because the spring was broken. Yet, pics of the crime scene don't show a broken spring.

I don't think anything derogatory can or should be said abt the Kassab family since it was their daughter, sister, grandchildren and nieces who were murdered. Put yourself in their place and see if you can withhold your anger, resentment and your pursuit of justice.

I use to think he was guilty. But I am now uncertain about it. Mainly because I could see the miltary set him up after he bad mouthed their investigation. Retribution can be very sinister at times.
