When military police officer Ken Mica arrived at Jeffrey MacDonald’s Fort Bragg, North Carolina apartment on Feb. 17, 1970, he saw MacDonald in the master bedroom, lying on his stomach next to his bloodied wife, Colette.
“I see he’s still alive and I lean down next to him and say, ‘Who did this?’ ” Mica tells People. “And he starts describing three guys and a woman.”
The woman he described — long blonde hair or wig, a floppy hat and knee-high boots — resembled a woman Mica had passed on the way to the apartment belonging to MacDonald, a Green Beret surgeon. Mica...

Jeffrey MacDonald, convicted of murdering his wife and two children in 1979, has been eligible for parole since 1990.
But the one and only time the former Green Beret surgeon applied for it was in 2005 — after he married longtime family friend Kathryn Kurichh.
“I didn’t want to go to the hearing,” he tells People. “But I was newly married — three years at the time with a loving and supportive wife. And I had new attorneys offering encouragement saying, ‘Times are changing and you never know.’ ”

In the 1990s, Jeffrey MacDonald — convicted of the 1970 murder of his wife and two daughters — began reading about new forensic testing he thought might help prove his claim of innocence.
He brought it up to his then-attorney, Harvey Silvergate, who was working on a post-conviction motion for the case along with attorneys Philip Cormier and Andrew Good.
“I said, ‘How does it work? I’m a doctor but I’m a novice. I’m just reading about it in the newspaper,’ ” MacDonald, a former Green Beret surgeon, tells People.

For the past 47 years, Jeffrey MacDonald’s account of what happened the night his entire family was murdered has stayed the same.
So has the case against him, built largely on blood-type testing — he, his wife and two children all had different blood types — that seems archaic by today’s standards.
But since his 1979 conviction, MacDonald has painstakingly gathered a body of evidence — some of which was suppressed by prosecutors — via Freedom of Information Act requests that he believes prove him right.
“I am innocent,” he says in an exclusive jailhouse interview in this week’s issue of People magazine.

MacDonald has said four intruders killed his wife, Colette, 26, and daughters Kimberley, 5, and Kristen, 2, at their Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home on Feb. 17, 1970. One of the intruders, he has said, was a woman with long blonde hair, wearing a floppy hat, holding what appeared to be a candle and chanting, “Acid is groovy. Kill the pigs.

It’s been nearly 50 years since former Green Beret surgeon Jeffrey MacDonald’s wife and two daughters were brutally murdered at their Fort Bragg, North Carolina, home.
MacDonald claimed that on that 1970 night, four intruders killed his wife, Colette, 26, and daughters Kimberley, 5, and Kristen, 2. But MacDonald was convicted of the murders.
He has maintained his innocence, and on January 26, an appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, will hear oral arguments on his “actual innocence” claim, a legal term that sets a high bar for exonerations.

“Big Brother is Watching You," wrote George Orwell in his eternal novel "1984." If only the author had lived to see "Citizenfour." As the age of Nsa snooping comes into the light, Orwell’s dystopian novel remains as pertinent as ever (this month, an Egyptian college student was arrested while carrying a copy of the novel, a move many reporters saw as a moment of life-imitating-art). Sony Pictures agrees: The studio has setup a new adaptation of the film with the project-hoarding Paul Greengrass attached to direct. Scott Rudin and Gina Rosenblum will produce the project, Deadline reports. "1984" follows the lead character Winston Smith as he rebels against the hellish bureaucracy of Airstrip One. Overpowering its citizens with surveillance, manipulation, propaganda, and legal action — any independent thinking is consider a "thoughtcrime" — the dream-prone Winston slips away from the oppressive government to encounter romance and freedom, paying the price when Big Brother catches him in the act.

After directing Captain Phillips last year, filmmaker Paul Greengrass is ready to reach further into the past for another true story drama, this time overseas as opposed to at sea. Variety has word that FilmNation has attached Greengrass to direct The Tunnels, based on a book proposal by Greg Mitchell that the production banner just snagged the rights to. Saving Private Ryan producer Mark Gordon is also on board the film which chronicles a great escape story following a group of West Germans who are trying to get their families out of East Berlin before the infamous wall falls in 1989 and they get some unlikely help. Believe it or not these people found their escape plan funded by American news networks, who at one time weren't at each other's throats due to bi-partisan politics. It's amazing this story hasn't been told before, as FilmNation's Aaron Ryder says, "Finding an untold...

As a fan of Paul Greengrass, the more I think about it, I think tend to take him for granted, given he's not necessarily a director whose works I actively anticipate. I enjoy his brand of political thrillers, and no matter the artistic liberties within his true-life films -- United 93 and Captain Phillips -- they are movies I find legitimately tense and thrilling. Greengrass is reportedly returning to the Bourne franchise in the near future alongside Matt Damon, but that's not the only project he has in the works. Per Variety, Greengrass is attached to direct The Tunnels, described as "the true story of a great escape before the Berlin Wall fell in 1989." The film is based on a book proposal by author Greg Mitchell, and is said to focus on a group of West Germans attempting to get their loved ones out of East Berlin with the unlikely help of American news networks.

Paul Greengrass is like the Ricky Jay of Hollywood directors. Every few months, the “Captain Phillips” filmmaker becomes attached to a new project, the likelihood of it actually happening a complete unknown, but fascinating nonetheless. Maybe it’s a Martin Luther King biopic. Or an adaptation of “Agent Storm: My Life Inside Al Qaeda.” Or a crime picture with George Clooney. Or Aaron Sorkin’s long-gestating “The Trial Of The Chicago 7.” Or even a triumphant return to the “Bourne” franchise! When Greengrass eventually makes a movie, it can come out of nowhere. He (or his agent) is the master of industry illusions. The latest sleight of hand trick arrives from Variety, who reports that Greengrass is attached to helm the Berlin Wall drama “The Tunnels,” based on a book proposal by Greg Mitchell. Mark Gordon (“The Messenger,” “Saving Private Ryan”) will produce and it’s unclear if Greengrass...

Although he has a variety of projects competing for his attention, Paul Greengrass has yet another potential directing job landing on his to-do list. He’s attached to direct an adaptation of Greg Mitchell’s upcoming book The Tunnels.Mitchell’s planned book – which isn’t even written yet, let alone headed for store shelves – tackles the true-life story of a daring 1961 escape from East Germany years before the Berlin Wall was brought down in 1989. A group of West Germans struggled to help their families escape East Berlin and had help from Us news networks. The story has been brought to life once before in 2001 German TV movie Der Tunnel, but producer Mark Gordon and FilmNation Entertainment’s Aaron Ryder are hoping the director will bring his particular stamp to it.“Finding an untold true story of this calibre is such a rarity,” Ryder tells Variety. “Greg’s proposal will...

Heavy, Doc. Apparently Hasslein Books have been working on a pair of Back To The Future companion books for some time (odd timing), and we’ve finally gotten a look at the two covers, thanks to Hasslein Books.com. The books are A Matter Of Time: The Unauthorized Back To The Future Lexicon and Back In Time: The Unauthorized Back To The Future Chronology, written by Rich Handley and Greg Mitchell, respectively. A Matter Of Time is essentially a Btff encyclopedia and Back In Time covers all the twists and turns Doc Brown and Marty took in the DeLorean, whether it was in the movies or the growing universe that sprung from them. Every book sold will lead to a $1 donation to the Michael J. Fox Foundation which should entice more people to give it a look. Click on the cover above for a closer look.

After months of promotion HBO's film on Sarah Palin and the 2008 campaign, Game Change, will air (finally) this weekend. Conservatives (including Palin, who has not seen the movie) claim that the film is completely unfair and mainly fiction, plus a valentine to Obama from Democratic Hollywood. But the filmmakers say it's (sadly) all fact, except that Julianne Moore plays Palin even better than Palin played Palin.
The only thing surprising to me is that anyone at this late date would be surprised by any embarrassing facts about Palin. The truth has been known almost within hours of McCain lifting her out of obscurity back at the end of August 2008. There even persists in some quarters (including elements of mainstream media) the fantasy that Palin actually boosted McCain and drew support from women voters, when the facts (and the polls) always ran in the opposite direction.

Clint Eastwood is known for his libertarian views and support of the Republican party, so it was a surprise to see him narrate a Super Bowl ad holding up the revival of Chrysler and other Detroit auto makers as a model for a new American resurgence.
As recently as last year, Eastwood was criticizing President Obama's 2009 bailout of the auto industry, which set the stage for Chrysler's resurgence.
"I'm a big hawk on cutting the deficit," Eastwood told the Los Angeles Times in November. "I was against the stimulus thing too. We shouldn't be bailing out the banks and car companies. If a CEO can't figure out how to make his company profitable, then he shouldn't be the CEO."
In the commercial, called "It's Half Time in America," Eastwood points out that Americans are hurting, then adds: "The people of Detroit know something about this. They almost lost everything.
