Let me get this perfectly straight.

He admits that he started this fire........that the whole thing was set up by him????

This is BS. First,Maher never, never confessed to having stabbed himself or faked anything. The alleged confession was written in French, which Maher does not read, and allegedly "signed" by Maher at a time while under the influence of drugs he was receiving for wounds, and administered at the hands of the Monagasque police. Second, Maher's part in all of this was putting a candle in a wastebasket and holding it up to the fire alarm/sprinkler sensors. Maher did what we are all told to do when under attach and police are not at hand: signal the fire department. It was the most expedient way to alert the authorities. More importantly, this did not set the fire that consumed the premises. In fact, evidence from fire reports show that the fire actually started in the basement. Third, there is real speculation as to whether Safra died from smoke inhalation, or from a bullet to the head. Lily, who has already gone thru two other husbands (one died by suicide: he shot himself in the heart, TWICE), had the body disposed of b/f independant autopsy could be performed, which at that time his brothers wanted done. Adding to the attach is the Monagasue keystone cops rescue efforts, which took over 4 hours to get to Safra even after they arrived on the scene. Safra's body guards had been sent home by Lily, Safra's wife, and even after they arrived with the key to the safe closet, they were not allowed in.

What surprises me is that CourtTV and reuters are transmitting the same story that Monagasque courts and Lily Safra have been spinning, there is no mention of the fact that Ted vehmently denies all accusations.

Gee whiz, I thought he had nothing to do with it? Now he's involved and says it was an accident?

Was he lying then or is he lying now?
