Oh, just answer the damn question . . . why is there no recording of the confession, more importantly, a video confession? We've had them in the states for over 20 years, the police in MCO were trained in Quantico, I'm pretty sure they know about taping while getting a confession. All of you MCO apologists will create the most complex path explain away the most obvious flags.

I'm not sure why you are hung up on Maher's earlier confession not being taped. Last week Ted Maher testified in open court that he was the one who set the fire. From the Associated Press article:
An American nurse who has confessed to setting a blaze that killed his billionaire employer said in a Monaco court Friday that he never expected the fire to rage out of control. At the second day of his trial, Ted Maher indicated the fire was part of a bizarre plan to ingratiate himself with Edmond Safra, his wealthy employer.

Maher testified that he started the fire, then stabbed himself - convinced he would emerge the hero who rushed his employer to safety while fending off attackers. Safra and Torrente suffocated in the smoke-filled bathroom where they sought refuge.

Seems pretty clear-cut to me. Unless you want to claim that because the Associated Press didn't tape record the testimony, maybe it didn't really happen.
