Ted and his brother Michael come from a tradition of patriotic service, of devotion to duty.
Suddenly Ted was thrust into the virtual Medieval dungeon of police state Monaco, a black hole where light cannot escape.
And what a looking-glass world it became December 3, 1999.
Ted defended Edmond Safra and Vivian Torrent from two intruders--why wouldn't the police respond to his calls?
For that matter, why did one of the Safras, probably NOT Edmond, disconnect the burglar alarm July 1, 1999?
We know one of them did from the deposition of the head of Monaco Securite in the fire report.
We know that Lily sent all eleven members of Edmond's security team away to La Leopolda--
We know this from Israeli journalist Boaz Bismuth telling DatelineNBC's Sara James November 21, 2000 ("Who Killed the Billionaire?")
We know Ted couldn't have got the bottle of lidocaine planted in his room--he didn't have the authorization--but Sonia did--
Sonia Casiano-Herkrath was paid $100,000 "confidentiality fee" by Lily--isn't that special?
Sonia pencilled in Ted and Vivian at the last minute--
Ted couldn't have cut himself--look at the location of the wounds--oh, be assured Dr. Michael Baden will.
And the original clothes he wore were destroyed by the police--just like the emergency call tapes for that night--
In the U.S. if the police held someone three days in four-point restraint, catheterized, sleep-deprived, beaten (bruising noted by U.S. Consul)--
If the police threatened someone with harm to his wife and children--the case would be thrown out and the police would be on trial.
In Monaco if the magistrate questions the defendant without attorney present, the case is to be thrown out--
Yet Monaco director of juridical affairs Patrice Davost says is doesn't mean is, that the magistrate didn't interrogate Ted--
Now Monaco has selected three jurors and three judges--
A Monaco judge recently resigned in disgust and wrote Judge In Monaco, an indictment of Monaco's judicial corruption--
Miss Piggy oinks, "Moi?" Judge d'instruction Patricia Richet routinely yelled, "I know you will be found guilty!" at Ted--
As she tore up letters from his children--before beating fellow judge Hullin and putting him in the hospital for a week--
Per witnesses, names and numbers on file.
Monaco has an extorted false confession produced by three days of duress and maintained by three years of pressure.
Now would be a good time for a face-saving acquittal.
