A Wilderness of Error: The Trials of Jeffrey MacDonald
Prosecutors, a judge, and a jury put Jeffrey MacDonald behind bars more than three decades ago for the murder of his pregnant wife and two young daughters. But according to Errol Morris, he’s been kept there by the power of narrative. Morris offers a thought-provoking argument against the power of storytelling, and in doing so, he elevates journalism above this allure, to a different, more noble place: the honest pursuit of truth.    —Dan Kennedy
