Fatal Vision Movie Review 1984

TV-murder-of-the-week version of Joe McGinniss's controversial book about the murder trial of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald, the former Green Beret physician accused of murdering his whole family and blaming the killings on crazed hippies. McGinniss first believed MacDonald may have been innocent but his subsequent investigation, and his book, proved otherwise. Starring debut for Cole, who would go on to play a much better TV dad. MacDonald still protests his innocence.
