FORT BRAGG, N.C. (AP) A former Army captain serving three life sentences for the 1970 murders of his pregnant wife and two young children has asked a federal judge to free him due to his age and failing health.
A hearing on Jeffrey MacDonald’s request for compassionate release is scheduled for 3 p.m. on Thursday at the federal courthouse in Raleigh, The Fayetteville Observer reported. That s the same courthouse where MacDonald was convicted of the murders in 1979.
Attorneys for MacDonald point to their client s health problems, including chronic kidney disease, skin cancer and high blood pressure. They say those factors, along with his age, make him vulnerable to severe illness or death if he were to contract COVID-19. They also said he has been exposed to inmates who had the virus, and that the prison is poorly equipped to deal with it.
