Milking a Murder?

After years of seeing coverage in books and newspapers and on TV, I still honestly have no idea if Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald is guilty (“A Murderer Airs His Appeal,” by Peter H. Brown, Oct. 2).

But when Joe McGinniss, author of “Fatal Vision,” the book about the MacDonald murder case, says, “It’s terrible for entertainment shows to milk dollars when they are dealing with human life,” it’s got to be the greatest bit of hypocrisy since George Bush declared himself an environmentalist.

This from a man who has milked a fortune out of condemning Dr. MacDonald!
