Anyone who knows me, or even how I write, knows I believe Jeff Macdonald murdered his family. But the other night I watched a part of Fatal Vision where Freddie was in the murder apartment doing his reenactment of that terrible night. He sat on the couch with the lamp on, then shut it off and couldn't reconize the ones with him. So, my question is, don't your eyes adjust to the lighting, especially if it is dark in there to begin with?
  I am by no means saying that there were any intruders, just that hypothetically if there were, wouldn't he be able to see them with the eye adjustment thing? Or is it just familiarity with knowing where you are, belongings and such. Thoughts anyone?
   Thanks in advance.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that wondered about that!  I know when I've been awaken in the middle of the night (due to some strange sound or something), I've had NO trouble seeing things in the room (even our black dog or our black cat) although I don't require glasses under normal circumstances.

I can't seem to convince myself, though, that he wouldn't have turned on the lights in the girl's rooms when he went to check on them (or even that he put Kimberly in her bed and covered her up without turning on the light if we believe his story).  Am I correct in remembering that NO fingerprints were found on the light switches?  If I am, then SOMEBODY wiped them off and we may never know who (kinda like what happened with both telephones ;-)

  


I don't know about you, Theresa, but I find highly unlikely that a group of drugged up hippies had the sense about them to run around wiping fingerprints off everything. I think we know who wiped the prints off the light switches and the murder weapons. That person was rightfully convicted of the murders. No mystery there. I've pondered the light or lack thereof and what he could have seen or not seen. I've never been attacked while sleeping,but I'm thinking that if I had, would I be able to describe minute details about the attackers. I think not. I would have been so disoriented that I would not know where I was or what was happening. Also, if Mac's arms and hands were bound up in the pj top and he was in a life and death struggle with attackers, WHY DID HE NOT HAVE ANY DEFENSIVE WOUNDS ON HIS HANDS OR FOREARMS? If the ice pick wound penetrated a thin pj top, where were the wounds in Mac's hands and forearms? that might support such a story?
