Jailed Former Army Doctor to Seek Parole
- Share via
Former Army doctor Jeffrey MacDonald, convicted 25 years ago of the stabbing deaths of his pregnant wife and two daughters, will seek parole but will continue to proclaim his innocence, said his lawyer, Tim Junkin.
MacDonald, eligible for parole since 1991, has declined to seek freedom because he said he would have to admit guilt for the slayings at the family’s Ft. Bragg, N.C., apartment on Feb. 17, 1970.
MacDonald, 61, is being held at the federal prison in Cumberland, where he is serving three life terms for the slayings of his wife, Colette, 26; and daughters Kimberley, 6, and Kristen, 2.
