In the 1990s, Jeffrey MacDonald — convicted of the 1970 murder of his wife and two daughters — began reading about new forensic testing he thought might help prove his claim of innocence.
He brought it up to his then-attorney, Harvey Silvergate, who was working on a post-conviction motion for the case along with attorneys Philip Cormier and Andrew Good.
“I said, ‘How does it work? I’m a doctor but I’m a novice. I’m just reading about it in the newspaper,’ ” MacDonald, a former Green Beret surgeon, tells People.
According to MacDonald, Silvergate answered, “If we’re going to ask for DNA,...

Review Louisa Mellor Jan 15, 2013
From the makers of Hunted and Spooks comes stylish conspiracy thriller Utopia…
This review contains spoilers. Our spoiler-free version is here.
What a welcome distraction from the January mire is Utopia. A nasty conspiracy thriller with a glint of humour and a stomach for violence, it’s just the tonic for swilling out the aftertaste of Christmas Specials and TV talent contests.
Episode one performs the required set-up neatly, taking all of Utopia’s pieces out of the box and placing them on the board in preparation for the five weeks to come.
If - and this isn't a given in the bizarre, paranoid world of Utopia - everyone is as they first appear, then the characters are familiar types: a pair of stylised hitmen, a crackpot conspiracy theorist web hacker, a Shane Meadows-y estate kid… It's not the characters, but the combination of stylised direction,...

Trailer Louisa Mellor Jan 4, 2013
New original drama Utopia starts on Channel Four on the 15th of January, and it looks well worth a watch...
Starting on Channel Four on the 15th of January is six-part drama series Utopia, from Pulling and the Matilda stage musical co-writer Dennis Kelly. It's the story of a group of young people who find themselves in possession of a cult graphic novel thought to predict global disasters, and the attempts that shady organisation The Network make to get hold of it. We liked the premise so much Utopia made our list of UK TV shows to look out for in 2012, er, and early 2013, as it turns out.
With Kelly and a cast including the likes of Misfits's Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Alexandra Roach, Neil Maskell and Michael Smiley from Kill List, James Fox, Four Lions' Adeel Akhtar and The Thick of It's Paul Higgins,...
