When reading The Journalist and the Murder, two things crossed my mind: the Laci Peterson story and the Michael Jackson interview with Martin Bashir. The story is somewhat similar to Laci’s story because in the book, we learn that in 1979, a respected army physician named Dr. Jeffery McDonald claimed that four strangers broke into his home and killed his wife and two daughters. Although an army tribunal tried Dr McDonald and cleared him, years later the case was reopened. This time, McDonald was convicted and sentenced to prison, where he is still is today. Similarly, Laci Peterson a 27-year-old wife who was eight-month pregnant, disappeared on Christmas Eve. Four-months later after her body and her unborn child were discovered, people started to suspect the husband to be the killer; however, because there was no real evidence proving him guilty the charges against him were dropped. Nevertheless, after some time, people started noticing that Mr. Peterson’s story was not matching up so the case was reopened. The jury found Mr. Peterson guilty, charging him with two counts of murder. Now, just like Mr. McDonald, he is currently serving life in prison and perhaps the death penalty

There is a big difference in that there was evidence of guilt in the Peterson case and there is more evidence that McDonald was not guilty, the reason for the continued appeals and his refusal to file for probation in hopes of eventually being found not guilty when the truth comes out.
