The MacDonald case is one of the most enduring and haunting legal cases of our time, and a torturous example of injustice and wrongful conviction.

#480 Jeff MacDonald, Golf Canada & NextGen Team by High Button Sports

Kathryn MacDonald : Dr Jeff MacDonald Ft Bragg MurdersAt 3:42 a.m. on February 17, 1970, dispatchers at Fort Bragg received an emergency phone call from MacDonald, who reported a "stabbing." Four responding military police officers arrived at his house located at 544 Castle Drive, initially believing that they were being called to settle a domestic disturbance. They found the front door closed and locked and the house dark inside. When no one answered the door, they circled to the back of the house, where they found the back screen door closed and unlocked and the back door wide open. Upon entering, they found Jeffrey's wife Colette and his daughters Kimberly and Kristen dead in their respective bedrooms.Five-year-old Kimberly was found in her bed, having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Two-year-old Kristen was found in her own bed; she had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed (both her arms were broken) and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood.[4][5][6]MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered. He was immediately taken to nearby Womack Hospital. MacDonald suffered cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week.[7]MacDonald's accountMacDonald told investigators that on the evening of February 16, he had fallen asleep on the living room couch. He told investigators that he did so because Kristen had been in bed with Colette and had wet his side of it. He was later awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white. A fourth intruder, described as a white female with long blonde hair and wearing high heeled boots and a white floppy hat partially covering her face, stood nearby with a lighted candle and chanted, "Acid is groovy, kill the pigs." The three males attacked him with a club and ice pick. During the struggle, he claimed that his pajama top was pulled over his head to his wrists and he then used it to ward off thrusts from the ice pick. Eventually, he stated that he was overcome by his assailants and was knocked unconscious in the living room end of the hallway leading to the bedrooms.[8]This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

Jeff credits his small hometown as the place that sparked his interest in pharmacy. He learned firsthand the important role that pharmacists played in his community and was fascinated by medications and their impact on patients. He went on to serve as Vice President of his IPhO Chapter in pharmacy school and built important connections and professional relationships that helped solidify his decision to pursue an industry career. Even during challenging times, Jeff knew he was growing and that he was "in the right place." But one of the most pivotal moments in his career was a conversation with a preceptor who landed a direct-to-industry role, rather than a fellowship. Suddenly, a path he did not even realize was an option became the choice that felt like the perfect fit. Tune in this week to gain a unique perspective on how to establish yourself in industry without a fellowship, strategies to identify what position is right for you, and more!

Kathryn MacDonald : Dr Jeff MacDonald Ft Bragg MurdersAt 3:42 a.m. on February 17, 1970, dispatchers at Fort Bragg received an emergency phone call from MacDonald, who reported a "stabbing." Four responding military police officers arrived at his house located at 544 Castle Drive, initially believing that they were being called to settle a domestic disturbance. They found the front door closed and locked and the house dark inside. When no one answered the door, they circled to the back of the house, where they found the back screen door closed and unlocked and the back door wide open. Upon entering, they found Jeffrey's wife Colette and his daughters Kimberly and Kristen dead in their respective bedrooms.Five-year-old Kimberly was found in her bed, having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Two-year-old Kristen was found in her own bed; she had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed (both her arms were broken) and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood.[4][5][6]MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered. He was immediately taken to nearby Womack Hospital. MacDonald suffered cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week.[7]MacDonald's accountMacDonald told investigators that on the evening of February 16, he had fallen asleep on the living room couch. He told investigators that he did so because Kristen had been in bed with Colette and had wet his side of it. He was later awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white. A fourth intruder, described as a white female with long blonde hair and wearing high heeled boots and a white floppy hat partially covering her face, stood nearby with a lighted candle and chanted, "Acid is groovy, kill the pigs." The three males attacked him with a club and ice pick. During the struggle, he claimed that his pajama top was pulled over his head to his wrists and he then used it to ward off thrusts from the ice pick. Eventually, he stated that he was overcome by his assailants and was knocked unconscious in the living room end of the hallway leading to the bedrooms.[8]

Kathryn MacDonald : Dr Jeff MacDonald Ft Bragg Murders At 3:42 a.m. on February 17, 1970, dispatchers at Fort Bragg received an emergency phone call from MacDonald, who reported a "stabbing." Four responding military police officers arrived at his house located at 544 Castle Drive, initially believing that they were being called to settle a domestic disturbance. They found the front door closed and locked and the house dark inside. When no one answered the door, they circled to the back of the house, where they found the back screen door closed and unlocked and the back door wide open. Upon entering, they found Jeffrey's wife Colette and his daughters Kimberly and Kristen dead in their respective bedrooms. Five-year-old Kimberly was found in her bed, having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Two-year-old Kristen was found in her own bed; she had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed (both her arms were broken) and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood.[4][5][6] MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered. He was immediately taken to nearby Womack Hospital. MacDonald suffered cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week.[7] MacDonald's account MacDonald told investigators that on the evening of February 16, he had fallen asleep on the living room couch. He told investigators that he did so because Kristen had been in bed with Colette and had wet his side of it. He was later awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white.

Season Two comes to a close. We look back, and then ahead to Season Three. Our show pushes back against the unexamined, often unconscious ways that we frame public questions using political or economic modes of thinking. We aim to be part of a growing movement of people who are critical of the narrowness of political and economic categories, and who want to revive a vision of human flourishing that is grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, communities, economies, and polities. In short, we want to create a community that is grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light. Let us know your thoughts and reflections on our Facebook Page: @whatingods. Our email: whatingods@ribeye-media.com (mailto:whatingods@ribeye-media.com) . Learn more. Our website: http://www.whatingods.com. Here are timecodes to help you navigate through today’s show: 00:45     How is it helpful to reframe the way we see the world, using the lenses of philosophy and theology?  02:00     Listen again to our shows with Kathleen McTeague, which aired in late January and early February 2020. What makes solidarity a religious value?     04:23     What do Walt Whitman, Jim Mattis, and St. Augustine of Hippo all have in common? What is mutual affection in a society? How would we know that we were in such a society? 09:15     Our interview with Jeff MacDonald: why is religion covered so poorly in the mainstream media? Listen to our conversation with Jeff, which was aired on January 9th and January 16th, 2020. 10:44     What is the secular immanent frame? Is this what we all know that we all know? What do we lose, when we lose the transcendent? Our shows on awe and wonder were December 12 and December 19, 2019 14:13     Culture is habits of mind and patterns of behavior. What habits and patterns do we unthinkingly, unreflectively accept, that really need a fresh look? 16:22     Look for new old shows over the summer! We are so grateful for your support, as together we aim to be curious, go deep, and shine light.

Part Two of our conversation focuses on the ways our culture reduces human beings to consumers, and what we can do about it.   As we begin the new year, we re-emphasize part of the What In God’s Name mission: we want to create a cohort or community of people who see, as we do, the need to renew certain habits of feeling and being together in community, and ways of thinking about and understanding the fullness of human life and flourishing, that are grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical tradition. We see these habits and ways of thinking as being pre-political, and foundational to a healthy and civil shared life in families, economies, and polities.   In short, we want to create a community that is grounded in curiosity, going deep, and shining light.   Let us know your thoughts and reflections on our Facebook Page: @whatingods.   Our email: whatingods@ribeye-media.com (mailto:whatingods@ribeye-media.com) .   Learn more. Our website: http://www.whatingods.com.   Here are timecodes to help you navigate through today’s show:   05:17     Jeff introduces himself and tells some of his story of becoming both a journalist and a minister.    06:31     What does a life of authenticity and integrity look like? Why does speaking of “vocation” help us get a deeper view of the human being? How does Jeff relate the composition of a story that he writes for publication, to the form that a life can, or hopefully does, have?   10:13     Can you fulfill your vocation despite your job?    11:40     Jeff talks about “Part Time Is Plenty,” his new book which is due out in April. Jeff’s discussion of the consumer mentality in churches leads to a consideration of consumer mentality in our culture at large. How does a consumer mentality diminish our humanity and debase notions of human flourishing?   15:22     What are some of the deeply human elements of life that a spiritual path can open for us? (Jeff talks about a few).   17:09     Buechner describes vocation as the meeting point of your deepest joy and the world’s deepest need. Discuss.   22:08     Shayna and Chris reflect on vocation and consumerism.

Jeff MacDonald is our guest. Jeff’s award-winning reporting on religion has appeared in Time, Conde Nast Traveler, the Boston Globe, the Christian Science Monitor, and other publications. He is the author of Thieves in the Temple: The Christian Church and the Selling of the American Soul. His new book, Part Time Is Plenty: Thriving Without Full-Time Clergy will be released in April.   Part One of our conversation focuses on the coverage of religion in mainstream media.   As we begin the new year, we re-emphasize part of the What In God’s Name mission: we want to create a cohort or community of people who see, as we do, the need to renew certain habits of feeling and being together in community, and ways of thinking about and understanding the fullness of human life and flourishing, that are grounded in the wisdoms of theological and moral philosophical traditions.

Our website: http://www.whatingods.com.   Here are timecodes to help you navigate through today’s show:   03:17     Chris introduces Jeff MacDonald   05:35     Jeff gives his take on the state of religion reporting today. How do you experience religion reporting today? Is it similar to how politics is reported on? If so, what’s missing? What should the coverage of religion include? Is it just about institutions, or are there “religious” questions that are alive in our society that should be included?   10:25     If you had no idea about religion except for what you heard or read in the media, what would your impression of religion be?   12:33     Is it true that theological language and categories, and/or moral language and categories broadly understood, give us a way to understand human flourishing that we can’t get any other way? What are some facets of the human experience, both individually and collectively, that theology and philosophy help us come to terms with?   17:33     Jeff describes what counts as news today: either something is unexpected (that counts as news), or something causes change (that counts as news). How do those two ways of separating out what is newsworthy verses what is not newsworthy, work against covering religion? Should something that remains steady and unchanging count as news too?   20:55 Chris and Shayna review Part One of the Jeff MacDonald interview.

Shayna needs to miss a second show, but will be returning next week. Chris considers the practice of journalism in America today, in preparation for the What In God’s Name interview with Jeff MacDonald, coming up in October. Here at What In God’s Name we are realists about truth, not relativists: truth has an independent existence apart from any one individual’s perceptions (for example, people tell lies; the existence of lies means that there exists truth that stands above perception or distortion, and has authority). Problems arise, however, when a person or group of people claim to know the whole truth. The antidote to such overweaning pride is humility in front of truth: we need each other to help all of us, together, to see more clearly. Our fall focus is increasing our listenership. We need your help: please consider sending an email with a link to one of your favorite WIGN shows, to someone you think is interested in a different way of understanding what’s going on in the world. Or post one of your favorite shows to your Facebook page. You can direct people to our website: whatingods.com/how-to-listen. What In God’s Name approaches current events and culture not from a partisan political angle, not from a money and economics angle, not from a technological and scientific angle, but from a theological and philosophical angle. Be in touch. Our email: whatingods@ribeye-media.com (mailto:whatingods@ribeye-media.com) . Learn more. Our website: http://www.whatingods.com Here are timecodes to help you navigate through today’s show: 01:32     Chris resets the premise of What In God’s Name. We LOVE conversation; dialogue is our means of knowing; we need each other to understand what is going on in the world. Our lens (to use the metaphor of optics) is theology and philosophy. 04:58     Chris invites listeners to 5 minutes of reflection on journalism. How does journalism relate to our being citizens? To our being a self-governing people?  06:04     “The more desparately the press chases readers, the more it resembles our politics.” Agree or disagree? 06:54     How does a journalist’s worldview affect what s/he finds newsworthy? 07:42     How does the pressure to get people to consume journalism by manufacturing outrage, affect our ability to be self-governing? Or does it not matter? 08:10     Should the practice of journalism be about finding what is true?

In this summer “in-between” seasons show, Chris invites Shayna into a deeper consideration of “culture,” and the observation attributed to Andrew Breitbart that “politics is downstream of culture.”  We also tease some upcoming fall shows: a collaboration with the Harvard Interfaith Forum, and an interview with journalist and minister Jeff MacDonald, who covered the Boston Marathon bomber trial for USA Today.  What In God’s Name approaches current events and culture not from a partisan political angle, not from a money and economics angle, not from a technological and scientific angle, but from a theological and philosophical angle.

Do you think it’s true? Chris and Shayna trace the implications of this observation. We didn’t get to where we are overnight, and we won’t move to another place overnight, either. 05:32     What do we mean by the word “culture?”  08:28     Can philosophy and theology help us think more creatively about where we are as a society, such that the current political categories get re-arranged? Obviously, we think the answer is “yes,” or we wouldn’t be making this show.  12:00     If politicians are followers, where is leadership in society coming from? Discuss. 16:20     Shayna shares her understanding of what philosophical thinking is about, and how it can be helpful in this time.

Kathryn MacDonald : Dr Jeff MacDonald Ft Bragg MurdersAt 3:42 a.m. on February 17, 1970, dispatchers at Fort Bragg received an emergency phone call from MacDonald, who reported a "stabbing." Four responding military police officers arrived at his house located at 544 Castle Drive, initially believing that they were being called to settle a domestic disturbance. They found the front door closed and locked and the house dark inside. When no one answered the door, they circled to the back of the house, where they found the back screen door closed and unlocked and the back door wide open. Upon entering, they found Jeffrey's wife Colette and his daughters Kimberly and Kristen dead in their respective bedrooms.Five-year-old Kimberly was found in her bed, having been clubbed in the head and stabbed in the neck with a knife between eight and ten times. Two-year-old Kristen was found in her own bed; she had been stabbed 33 times with a knife and 15 times with an ice pick. Colette, who was pregnant with her third child and first son, was lying on the floor of her bedroom. She had been repeatedly clubbed (both her arms were broken) and stabbed 21 times with an ice pick and 16 times with a knife. MacDonald's torn pajama top was draped upon her chest. On the headboard of her bed, the word "pig" was written in blood.[4][5][6]MacDonald was found next to his wife alive but wounded. His wounds were not as severe nor as numerous as those his family had suffered. He was immediately taken to nearby Womack Hospital. MacDonald suffered cuts and bruises on his face and chest, along with a mild concussion. He also had a stab wound on his left torso that a staff surgeon described as a "clean, small, sharp" incision that caused his left lung to partially collapse. He was released from the hospital after one week.[7]MacDonald's accountMacDonald told investigators that on the evening of February 16, he had fallen asleep on the living room couch. He told investigators that he did so because Kristen had been in bed with Colette and had wet his side of it. He was later awakened by Colette and Kimberly's screams. As he rose from the couch to go to their aid, he was attacked by three male intruders, one black and two white. A fourth intruder, described as a white female with long blonde hair and wearing high heeled boots and a white floppy hat partially covering her face, stood nearby with a lighted candle and chanted, "Acid is groovy, kill the pigs." The three males attacked him with a club and ice pick. During the struggle, he claimed that his pajama top was pulled over his head to his wrists and he then used it to ward off thrusts from the ice pick. Eventually, he stated that he was overcome by his assailants and was knocked unconscious in the living room end of the hallway leading to the bedrooms.[8]This show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement

(Note: Due to technical issues, only part of this interview is available.)The case of Jeff MacDonald has been infused with controversy since the murders took place, almost 39 years ago. Through it all, Jeff has steadfastly maintained his innocence. Over the many years since trial, thousands of pages of government reports, obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, that prove the existence of outside assailants, have been obtained. In fact, not only do these documents show Jeff's claim of outside assailants to be true, they also show how the prosecution deliberately set out to suppress evidence supporting these claims before, during, and after his trial.The MacDonald case has served as an example of malfeasance in the investigation of the FBI Crime Lab's misconduct, and the case has been featured in numerous congressional hearings and in such publications as The Wall Street Journal, The Boston Globe and The New Republic. In January, 2006, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals panel of three unanimously agreed that the affidavit of Jimmy Britt, a respected former US Marshal, was sufficient grounds to propel a rare fourth appeal (successive habeas petition) forward for review to the District Court in Raleigh, North Carolina. Jimmy Britt died in October, 2008. In November, 2008, the District Judge denied relief. The defense will appeal to the 4th Circuit.The MacDonald case is one of the most enduring and haunting legal cases of our time, and a torturous example of injustice and wrongful conviction. It continues to endure and weigh heavily on the public consciousness because the right conclusion has never been has never been issued in a court of law- that Jeff MacDonald is an innocent man and must be released. If guilt was so clear, its hard to imagine that the interest and emotion this case continues to proliferate would still exist nearly 40 years later.http://themacdonaldcase.org/index.htmlThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/1198501/advertisement
