Monaco, it's time to end this nonsense. You've held Ted Maher hostage for 837 days with no trial. This is beyond ridiculous. Give the man a fair trial and let him come home to his children.

[Registered]

Bumping for exposure. Poor Ted. I hope his family is holding up.

[Teacher317]

The first line says 537... I'm pretty sure it's 837, though. What are Monaco's laws regarding the right to a trial? What reasons have the politicians cited for not talking to Monaco about it?

[d4now]

bump for Ted.

I trust that everyone who supports Mr Maher's right to a trial feels the same way about the internees at Guantanamo Bay.

[Dog Gone]

Bump.

This has gone far beyond absurd. I understand the differences in legal systems and the fact that Maher doesn't have a constitutional right to a speedy trial like we enjoy here.

But this is completely unfair under any reasonable analysis.

[Nita Nupress]

Dear President Bush,

One of my dear friends is a very good friend (20+ yrs) with one of your lifelong buddies. My dear friend has even talked to you on the phone. For this reason, I feel like I 'know you,' at least in some small, indirect way. But more importantly, because of these above relationships, I know beyond a doubt, proof positive that you are genuinely a trustworthy, kind-hearted, and honorable man. I know that you are a man of honor who loves his fellow man. Please do what you can to bring Ted home. Thank you.

[RightOnline]

Here's a big BUMP to shed more light on such a terrible injustice.

Let the man come home, Monaco. He's innocent................and you full well know it.

[ArneFufkin]

Why was he in Monaco? How did he hook up with this Safra in the first place?

April 5, 2002 -- A fiery prosecution NY Post

PROSECUTORS in Monaco have decided to throw the book at Ted Maher, the New York nurse who has been implicated in the mystery death of billionaire Edmond Safra in Monte Carlo two years ago.

Maher has been in prison ever since awaiting trial. His lawyer Michael Griffith, of Manhattan and the Hamptons, has been trying to arrange a plea bargain, but it now appears the authorities are going for a maximum sentence.

They just announced that Maher is being charged with committing arson with intent to harm. It's better than the murder count they originally considered, but he's still looking at a life term.

Griffith says he is assembling a veritable dream team of lawyers to handle the case when it comes to trial this summer. Griffith says he'll fiercely defend his client, who he depicts as a bit of a bumbler, but nothing more.

"He should he held responsible for a botched rescue attempt of Mr. Safra. He is not an arsonist or a murderer," Griffith insists. The defense team will claim that Safra died in his super-secure apartment because of the incompetence of Monaco's police and fire departments.

When Safra, who was in the process of selling his New York-based bank, died in the fire, all kinds of lurid tales spread - including one that he'd been murdered by the Russian mob. The authorities now seem to believe the version that Maher set the fire so that he could rescue his employer and make himself a hero.

[Slam]

Bring this American home now. If "one" is not important, then neither can be the "many."

Ted Maher bump.

[MissAmericanPie]

When are they going to let this man go? I wonder if Fox News would run a piece on Ted, have you called and suggested it?

[American Preservative]

Hi fellow FReepers. Do you know about this? Can you help in some way? Thank you.

[Texbob]

Bush is not going to do anything except talk about how bad the Israeli's are for fighting terrorist.
