Ted Maher now says "It was an accident"

court tv online ^

[Lazamataz]

Waiting patiently...

So sorry, but I am simply not interested in getting in a pissing match with you today. You and I have never had terribly great relations, so I cannot see any net-gain in most exchanges with you. Catch me tomorrow or the next day; maybe by then I will be willing to deal with you.

Well an opulated widow-by-perhaps-choice might hire herself a Freeper or two so as to counter and diminish the pro-Ted forces here on Free Republic. And an enterprising, franchise-a-philiac "freeper" might have well pursued a nice dollar or two from widow same, do you not think?

Is purely speculation on my part....

[Nita Nupress]

Actually, I was really interested in your reasoning for saying that and wasn't trying to be pissy, believe it or not. I'm just short on time and in a hurry. Go back & read my original question, Laz. It was genuine and I wasn't shooting for sarcasm.

I know the Maher threads can probably be just as irritating as any of the others that are ongoing. I'm sure people who aren't interested or who think he killed Safra or who don't like seeing Bush confronted really do hate seeing the headline come up on Latest Posts. This I realized full well and it's one reason I don't bump the other thread on a daily basis.

But your comment seemed to allude to something beyond that, and I'm wondering how these threads should be re-examined. In other words, what are we missing? We don't want to do the Maher cause "a disservice," and I'm not sure we'd recognize it if we were.

Okay, Nita, I will answer you honestly, but tomorrow (or next day). I am relaxing today after a hectic and very busy week.

[Nita Nupress]

Fair enough. Thanks. I try to always welcome constructive criticism, so anyone else who has it, feel free. Freepmail if needed.

"but whoever has been posting those "Free Ted Maher" threads has done your cause a disservice."

How so? If Monaco still, after 2 1/2 years, has still not even set a trial date why should Ted not be set free?

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

I keep asking the same question to those who believe Monaco and the liberal press.
Why, if the case against Ted is so clear cut, is no trial date set after 2 1/2 years?
But as you can see some poster just read this BS aricle which is slanted by the media,
And some have just read the BS from the Time Magazine article (with sources from the NY Times) in post 141.
I'm still waiting for one of them to answer the qustion "Why no trial set after 2 1/2 years?"

[Jalapeno]

I answered your question. Go back to 265.

[MiMibru]

Do you think I know the answer? All I Know, Is they don't have to put him on trial for 4 years if they chose.This law was passed after he was put in jail. Tammy

[F.J. Mitchell]

Why did Ted start the fire in the trash can? The answer to this question seems important.

Guilty or innocent, the guy is in deep doo doo, and the actions of the Monaco courts do seem deceptive and devious. Not every country though, has a Constitution that guarantees a speedy trial by an impartial jury.

I do wish him good luck and hope that if he is innocent, he soon has the opportunity to prove it in a court of law.

[Michael Maher]

"It seems there are some people here who have invested so much time, effort, and faith in the cause of Ted Maher that they simply cannot bring themselves to believe that maybe, just maybe, Ted Maher is indeed a very sick man. Sometimes, if you have spent a long, long time reeling, it is a tough thing to cut bait."

I am one of "those people".
I also happen to be his brother & I actually know Ted, Do you?
...I didn't think so, my what a biased & PRE-judice statement, so typical of your type of people.

"Franchise-a-philiac"?

Sorry -- just thinking out loud -- one of my personal terms for people who seek to make every waking activity a profit center.

***Listen to the Radio FR AnnaZ and Mercuria

Lots of silence on this one.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

Here listen to this interview on Radio FR
I'll believe Radio FR before I ever believe the Time Magazine (with NY Times sources)
that you posted on post 141.
BTW Ted's wife, sister and brother all on this thread now.
Care to explain why you linked a slanted liberal aricle about Ted?

"The answer to this question seems important."

You have 3 FReepers related to Ted. His wife, his sister and brother.
Yet you are still afraid to post to them.
Or do you still believe in the liberal press?

[sinkspur]

I'm not afraid to post to them. It's a waste of time to post to them. They're Ted's relatives; I know they'll defend him.

I notice you didn't answer the question about Ted starting the fire either.

[68-69TonkinGulfYachtClub]

"I'm not afraid to post to them. It's a waste of time to post to them. They're Ted's relatives; I know they'll defend him."

And I know you will defend Time Magazine and the NY Times.
Food for thought:
Why has Jim Robinson carried these threads for 2 1/2 years if it is all BS?
Why would Bob J and diotima devote a Radio FR show about this if it was all BS?
You want to know about a fire, ask those who have spoken with Ted.
Unless you don't really want to know.

Most interesting. Which photo appears more "sinister"?
