Would the cynic in me say book agent? a press flack? an aspiring writer?A member of the Maher family?
Are you under the illusion that no one who didn't regularly post to the Free! Ted! Maher! threads didn't know the details of this case? And that certain Freepers who held the torch all this time were above reproach and entirely objective? That's a nice lil dodge you've constructed;beats the hell out of admitting you've backed a turkey.Even worse than a turkey.
A murderer.
"Challenging him"???Well, Dave S, you feel you have to challenge someone to get him to make his post more understandable. I don't really challenge someone for a cause so trivial as this. I just ask them. Betcha, I will get the information quicker than you. BTW, I did ask him. What do you think this is: "Who the hell is Maher? Does he have a first or last name and why should I care."
Trivial? I'm tired of people that waste my time through their posting laziness. How long does it take to add enough so only those people who have some interest are likely to read? If people are going to post an article or piece of news, ESPECIALLY BREAKING NEWS, why dont they think of the reader? They are posting for the benefit of the reader and not just to inflate their already heady ego's, correct?
Then why was he given 10 years for murder? Hummm just maybe you are a smear artist!
can you say lies, smears, and a cover up? I new you could habs4ever!
Monaco prosecutor Daniel Serdet lied that Ted was on drugs in Thomas Sancton's Time article of December 20, 1999.
Of course Monaco's Princess Grace Memorial Hospital tested Ted for drugs and alcohol with results negatif negatif negatif.
This was shown on DatelineNBC November 21, 2000 in its "Who Killed the Billionaire?"
Dateline removed its transcript from its site shortly after, claiming "lack of interest".

I wrote Thomas Sancton about this, but he never replied.
Daniel Serdet was adamant that he would obtain life imprisonment; then he retreated to twelve years, but was not able to get even that.
The ten years which gives Monaco face-saving cover may very well be transformed into probation in March.
The extorted false confession was maintained by the pretend defenders Georges Blot and Donald Manasse.
Yet they, too, were outmaneuvered; their attempts to bar Michael Griffith failed when brought to the attention of Secretary of State Colin Powell.
Michael Griffith was successful in his intercession on behalf of innocent American citizen Jim Williams held 1400 days in Ecuador.

Wow - the mods have sure been busy in this thread. I've seen more verbal bombs thrown and tinfoil chaff dispensed here than in many drug war threads, and that's saying something.
Regardless of how you feel about the trial and Maher's sentence, can we all at least agree that Maher's and Safra's families deserve at least some sympathy for the losses they have suffered, and leave it at that?
Its just a suggestion - I'll shut up now.
