By Joe McGinniss

In 1979, Jeffrey MacDonald was a man in trouble. Accused of stabbing his pregnant wife and children over 85 times, he was desperate to prove his innocence. MacDonald knew just the man for the job: Joe McGinniss, a respected true crime author who MacDonald hoped would finally set the record straight. Of course, that's not how things panned out. Not only did Fatal Vision support MacDonald's conviction, it also became one of the most controversial true crime books in history. Needless to say, the two collaborators did not part on good terms—and their court reunion over 35 years later didn't fare much better. In an interview with CNN, McGinnis stated he still believed MacDonald was, and had always been, a guilty "psychopath."
