I don't know of any link, but I have been reading Vanity Fair for years and Dominick Dunne has written something about this case nearly every month. He is convinced that Maher was framed, probably by the "grieving" widow herself, who wanted all the Safra money but became impatient because Edmond was not dying fast enough for her. Lily Safra is now one of the richest women in the world and flaunts it very ostentatiously. Maher is just a poor dumb American who got pressured into a confession that cannot be retracted under Monaco law. He was probably told he would face execution for double murder unless he confessed to accidentally killing Safra and the maid. A great deal of evidence has been suppressed in this trial, acording to Dunne. Dunne has collected stories from dozens of people he has met who knew or worked for the Safras. Remember that Dominick Dunne helped get the Martha Moxley murder case reopened. He is an ace sleuth concerning high-society murders and he does not believe Ted Maher did this one.

Thanks, I have a lot of respect for Dunne, and will look for his writings on the subject. Meanwhile, I will continue to make fun of people who claim to have evidence, yet fail to present it.

"Ace sleuth" Dominick Dunne also claimed that Gary Condit got Chandra Levy "mixed up in a prostitution ring that serviced Middle Eastern diplomats in Washington - then set the stage to have her killed and her body dumped into the Atlantic Ocean." I haven't heard him yet explain how her body got fished back out of the Atlantic and put in the park.

Dunne unquestionably suffered personal tragedy with the murder of his own daughter, but he's become a society whore. The bulk of Dunne's articles, whether they be about Skakel/Moxley, Maher/Safra, or some other high society crime, are filled with the names of all the "important" people he lunched with or whose parties he attended. Almost every piece of actual information comes from sources with no names at all, so there's no way to verify its truth.
