Ted Maher -- former Special Forces; Neonatal Intensive Care nurse
American Green Beret veteran and accomplished neonatal nurse Ted Maher has now been held 537 days without trial in Monaco's prison on trumped-up and false charges -- charges of causing the deaths of billionaire banker Edmond Safra and Ted's fellow nurse, Vivian Torrente on December 3, 1999. In truth, Ted fought valiantly against two armed, masked intruders to defend Edmond and Vivian and save their lives. During the struggle, Ted suffered severe knife wounds that required one hundred staples to close.
Billionaire banker Edmond Safra was cooperating with the FBI, who was investigating the IMF/Russian loans. Needing a convenient scapegoat for the murder of Safra, Monaco police subjected Ted to three days of grueling torture designed to extort a false confession from him. (see description in "BASIC TIMELINE" in Thread 1 - http://206.112.97.70/forum/a3ad8b097272d.htm ).
Monaco continues to hold Ted incommunicado, preventing him from sending or receiving mail. In fact, they restrict his communication with his family to one telephone call a week. This call is only allowed to last a few minutes and is always monitored closely to prevent any discussion of the case. Ted is forced by his jailers to take a psychotropic medication and is regularly "interrogated" by the Monaco judge -- Patricia Richet. Reports have been received that Judge Richet is a violent person who has displayed unstable behavior in the past. She allegedly has a history of assaulting a fellow judge, putting him in the hospital for a week. She also tears up letters from Ted's children in front of Ted rather than let him read them.
Hundreds of family, friends, work associates, parents of patients, and Army veterans who served with Ted have vouched for him as being a loyal husband, loving father, and an exemplary professional of great skill and compassion. Ted has also been defended by then-chairman of the House International Relations Committee Ben Gilman and Ted's congresswoman Sue Kelly, who have written Prince Rainier III of Monaco on Ted's behalf. Monaco has no evidence of any crime by Ted; they have no witnesses and no credible case against him. Even worse, Monaco has planted false evidence and suppressed vast amounts of exculpatory evidence -- even passing a special Monaco law that enables them to hold Ted four years without trial.
The Geneva prosecutor has said that Safra was killed for his cooperation with the FBI regarding the laundering through Safra's Republic National Bank of $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia.
Regardless of the reason "why," it is obvious that Ted Maher is a scapegoat for a murder by others. We are working to obtain his release and to correct the grave injustice being done to an American Green beret veteran and medical professional.
Ted Maher -- a giver of life, not a taker -- needs our help.

Prayer bump for God's Divine protection of Ted Maher.
Amen.
NBC's Law & Order Criminal Intent aired a show loosely written on the Edmond Safra death.
Very loosely. Loose enough to miss by a mile.
International banker dies in bathroom saferoom from asphyxiation caused by arson--set by his wife and son.
NBC had the banker's son and wife charged with conspiracy to commit murder, and the male nurse charged with manslaughter,
All broadly drawn with two-dimensional cardboard cutouts to fit in 45 minutes with scheduled commercial breaks.
The arena foul horn blasts and NBC is sidelined--reality hits the court.
Take a moment to tack back to Ted nursing the twins of Howard and Laura Slatkin at Columbia Presbyterian;
The Slatkins leave an expensive camera, which Ted sends back to them through the mail;
Laura, friend of Lily, recommends Ted for Edmond's staff; after rigorous testing, investigation and interview, Ted is hired;
For a limited amount of time, with the understanding that he will return to Columbia Presbyterian after its nurses strike is settled;
The strike is settled; Ted drafts a letter of resignation; Lily's paid agent Sonia pencils Ted (and Vivian) into the schedule at the last minute;
Trapped in a meticulously planned hit, Ted is rolled in scapegoat like KFC in bread crumbs.
Three years of psychological technique, a daily "pill" administered, total isolation, concentrated interogation by magistrate Richet and attorney Manasse;
Sleep deprivation reaching a peak at trial, altogether with the suppression of exculpatory evidence and the manufacture of incriminating evidence:
The extorted false confession is pressure-cooked for a thousand days to be served at the Corte d'Kangaroo.
The widow has a history: she made 200 million when hubby #2 shot himself TWICE IN THE HEART in Brazil in 1976.
She makes three billion this time.
She spends (Edmond's) money like water to buy friends from Ted Kennedy to Elton John to Prince Charles and Camilla Porker.
She buys Vivian's husband and is now being sued by Vivian's son and daughter for 100 million.
Top forensic DNA expert Dr. Michael Baden says Vivian died of strangulation, not asphyxiation--
And Edmond had unidentified male DNA under his nails not belonging to Ted Maher.
So, Ted has outdone David Copperfield with a fire a kilometer away on a stage he left an hour earlier.
And Edmond has beat Penn & Teller for illusions--having wrestled with a phantom, spattered his blood through Vivian's outer garments;
Cremated himself and hidden underground in Geneva, Switzerland.
How would NBC handle the $4.8 billion in IMF loans to Russia laundered through Republic which was the subject of Safra's cooperation with the FBI?
Does it all get bulldozed into a takeoff on Sopranos set in Russia?
Can you explain if Ted Maher was taking medication before being employed by Safra, and whether that information was held back by the family for 3 yrs?Was Ted, in fact, unfit to be hired by Safra, and did he lie about this fact to secure work ?
Ted was not on drugs. Nurses are tested for that--especially at Columbia.
Monaco: Free American Ted Maher!
Bump for Ted Maher and his loving family......In Jesus' Precious Name, Amen.
She makes three billion this time.
But, the Monaco po-lice did not investigate her, and without any investigation into her background, motivation, or whereabouts that day, the Monaco po-lice determined she was beyond suspicion; because the Monaco po-lice's agenda was pre-determined: she had nothing at all to do with Safra's murder. "Superb," "A-1," detective work there by the Monaco po-lice.
