That is in court, that is not for a deposition or a confession. Plus, neither of us know whether the reporter also had recorder in court that you just didn't see.

Some of you guys are here just to disrupt, which I really don't understand, there is more to do in life. But for those of you who truly want to discuss the issue, think about why you would want to take a video or audio confession. A video confession shows the demeanor, affect, stability, state of mind, of the confessor. It is the number one insurance against getting a confession thrown out. Think of what it would have done in this case. If Ted had been caught on video tape confessing, just hours after the incident, I would have jumped on board and said the guy was guilty. But here, there is no tape. And the confession, I believe, came days after the incident. More importantly, it came after his wife had been detained in MCO.

that's not the case. The problem is that getting you guys to provide the info that you claim you have to defend Maher is like pulling teeth. Take a look at BKauthor, he makes all these assertions, and then ignores the questions asking him to back them up. The natural assumption is that you guys all have an emotional attachment to this case, and that you don't really have the info that you claim you have.

Actually, it was for depositions, as well as questioning of suspects that may have led to confessions. There was no tape, so as not to reveal the identities of grand jurors who asked questions.
