Unfortunately, most of the purblind sycophants of people like David Westerfield and Ted Maher lend their support for the most ephemeral of reasons.
In Westy's case, it was because his brother was quoted in the news as saying that Westy was a Republican. That gained him an INSTANT fan-base on FR.
Maher is a former Green Beret, and therefore above reproach no matter what the evidence shows.
For all our vaunted collected genius, FR sure has its share of emotion-drenched, reason-bereft obsessions.
Now you KNOW that's NOT true.
While the fact that Ted is a former Green Beret (and a medic....) got me interested in the case.....it was the conflicting evidence that made me look into the case even further.
Looking at the entire case coldly and rationally...a lot of it just didn't add up.
Add to the problems with time lines...motives.....and hardcore evidence...the other problems of HOW Maher was treated by Monaco...of HOW his wife was treated....and the only conclusion that I can come to is that he is innocent.
If that differs from your conclusion.....well it won't be the first or the last.
