Jeffrey or O.J.


Whose worse?

They are both dispicable and both should have gotten the death penalty in my opinion. However, I would say Jeffrey MacDonald is worse. Both killed people out of rage. However, when you have studied both cases closely, and I have, you see that O.J. was in a complete rage when he murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman. More than likely O.J.only remembers the first few seconds of the actual murders and then his mind repressed the memory of the rest of the events that took place that night. It is ironic how the mind works and how the mind will repress memories like this in order to protect one's psyche. The mind protects the body.

Jeff is a slightly different creature. Jeff was also in a rage when he got into a fight with Colette the night of the murders. He broke both of her arms and knocked her unconscience, but she was still alive. Jeff killed Kimberly instantly when he crushed in the left side of her skull. She was standing in the doorway when the fight took place and her death was the result of a fatal blow to the head with a wooden club. Although Jeff was in a rage at the time of the fight, there was a point at which he came to his senses, so to speak. He realized that he killed his eldest daughter and his wife was near death. At that point he devised a plan to cover up the murders. It was at that point that he decided to finish off his wife and his youngest daughter, Kristen. That makes him, in my opinion, worse. Any man who can stab his 2-year-old daughter in the heart 33 times, with thrusts so forceful that they go through the body and into the bed mattress is much worse! He was not in a rage when he killed Kristen. He knew exactly what he was doing and he did it to save his own hide. How tragically sad and pathetic he is!

You can tell that Jeff knew what he was doing when he killed Kristen because he has a very difficult time discussing her death in interviews. If you have the opportunity to watch a Jeffrey MacDonald interview, do so and watch his mannerisms as he describes Kristen's death. His whole body language changes and his voice will crack and tremble when he speaks. When he speaks about Colette and Kimberly's death he does so as a doctor would describing the diagnosis of a patient. He is removed and detached when he speaks. However, Kristen is a different story. He killed her with malicious intent. He knows it and he remembers it. This is why it is difficult for him to speak about it.

The man is a cold blooded killer. He deserves to suffer the way he family suffered or worse. May he rot in hell!

Both are disgusting creatures, it's hard to choose, but I'll have to say macdonald, because of the children, even though o.j. left his wife, goldman for the children to find,I have to agree with ccap about kristin,I'll have to watch him more closely in interviews, even though I can't stand the sight of him!

Neither is worse. I would choose Paul Snider, the hustler and murderer of Dorothy Stranton. He was a "narcissistic sociopath" who seduced and later murdered a naive young woman for his own ambitions, and then committed suicide after raping her and murdering her with a shotgun... and then having sex with her dead body before killing himself with the same shotgun he used to kill her.

Eric Roberts portrayal of Snider in the film 'Star 80', is an equal on par with the character of Jeffery MacDonald who was portrayed by Gary Cole in 'Fatal Vision'. The only difference between MacDonald and O.J. Simpson is that Snider took the easy way out of committing suicide after killing Dorothy Stranton.

I think you are referring to "Dorothy Stratten."

There really isn't a difference for me. All three are or were sociopaths. Nothing good comes from them. All three killed innocent victims. Nicole knew who she was marrying because he beat her up before they married and stayed with him. That "stay for the children" stuff is just crap. Do you really want your children watching their father beat up their mother. But, Ron was there doing a favor for his friend and certainly didn't deserve to die for those actions. He was at the wrong place, at the wrong time.

Jeffrey MacDonald butcher his family in a rage over their youngest daughter wetting his side of the bed. He could've gotten in his daughters bed and slept there that night. He chose instead to stab his wife numerous times, stabbed his oldest daughter when she came in to see what was going on, both were during a fit of rage. But it was the viciousness of murdering his 2 year old, cradling his daughter as he stabbed her to death. I'm sure there was a delay in that killing because he had to think what would be plausible to army investigators. If both girls were in their beds, why would one be dead and the other still alive. There would be a lot of questions. He read the article on Manson and thought he would duplicate the same scenario. There had to have been at least 10 to 15 minutes as he played out the various scenario in his mind until he had to chose to kill her and come up with a believable story.

Snider was a loser, who had demented dreams of being the next best thing to Hugh Heffner or that they would be best buddies. Dorothy was very young and naive beautiful girl and the woman he set his dreams of being some great “entrepreneur.” He was a loser and a pathetic macho man who ended up owning a Vancouver loan shark a lot of money, grabbed him and hung him out of the 30th floor balcony of a hotel. He quickly left town with dreams of becoming a famous director or producer, but instead became a pimp working outside the fringe of Beverly Hills. The girls stole from him so he returned to Vancouver and met a very pretty, sheltered, shy, naive 17 year old girl. She seemed to believe in his fantasies and left for the bright lights of Hollywood. I think most of us know the rest of the story. He was a predator and she was his prey.
