You are certainly entitled to that opinion.
Thomas Sancton in Time of 12-20-99 uses three negative sources: an ex-wife deemed unfit by the court who lost custody of the son; a former neighbor identified by police as a troublemaker; a person claiming to have been a landlord--a fraud. Sancton chose to ignore my inquiries.
Monaco prosecutor Daniel Serdet claimed Ted was using drugs, yet Monaco's Princess Grace Hospital tested Ted for drugs and alcohol and the results were negatif negatif negatif. This was shown on DatelineNBC November 21, 2000, "Who Killed the Billionaire?"
It was on that program that Israeli journalist Boaz Bismuth told NBC's Sara James that one of the Safra security team told him "it was the lady [Lily Safra]" who sent the security team to the chateau La Leopolda.
Ted's knife wounds required approximately 100 staples and numerous transfusions. He was taken to the hospital, and an hour later "a sudden conflagration" occurred which was noted in three places in the fire report. The fire report also noted numerous sources of ignition and the use of accelerants, something Ted never admitted to.
The burglar alarm was disconnected July 1, 1999 per the head of Monaco Securite.
Ted and Vivian were hired that month.
At the time of the attack, police did not respond. They cannot produce the tape of emergency calls for that day, December 3, 1999, but they can for the 2d and the 4th.
Ted then put one of Laura Slatkin's scented candles in a wastebasket and held it under a smoke detector. The first alarm went in at 4:54 am yet police did not "find" the bodies until 7:45 am, nearly three hours later.
Ted was forced to sign a false confession after three days in four-point restraint, catheterized, sleep-deprived and threatened with his wife's detainment. Monaco police had his wife and had taken her passport. They had played tapes of the children and shown pictures of the children--in New York. A nice touch.
Having signed the false confession in French which Ted does not read, write or speak, he is in jeopardy under Monaco law to renounce it. He is also ill-served by Georges Blot and Donald Manasse, for whom the confession is a given.
Michael Griffith is attempting to defend Ted but was forbidden to speak at the appeal.
Jim Williams was finally freed from the Ecuadoran jail after some 1400 days wrongly imprisoned on a DEA-engineered money-laundering frame. Griffith assisted, and Martha Melzow was with our Consulate there as she is now in Marseilles.
