Please see my additional post. By Monegasque law, the accused is not permitted to recant a confession, even under the strangest of circumstances. Ted has not been permitted, as those in American courtrooms are, to be near the media. The jailers in Monaco have also refused to permit "48 Hours" and "Dateline NBC" to interview him from behind bars. He's just not given that kind of access, the kind we're so accustomed to in this country.

That's funny. Then where did this picture come from?:

American nurse Ted Maher, right, talks with his American lawyer Michael Griffith at Monaco's courthouse Thursday Nov. 28, 2002, during his trial for the arson death of his billionaire employer Edmond Safra on Dec. 3, 1999. Authorities are seeking life in prison for Maher, who claims he never expected the fire he started in a small wastebasket in Safra's luxury Monaco penthouse to rage out of control and kill Safra and another nurse.

You saw the picture on this thread? Even with a zoom lens, he's close enough for the cameraman to hear him if he shouted, "I'm being railroaded! I'm innocent!" And yet, he doesn't.
