I'll see what I can do," Doherty said, knowing full well that the chances of extricating Maher from the mess were almost nonexistent. "All right, give me a name." Maher spent Christmas week running between his mother’s apartment and his father’s. Both of his parents were relieved that he had been released from jail, and both pleaded with him to stay out of trouble. Tell ’em I’m not here, Maher whispered as he headed down the hall, his eyes sparkling like the eyes of a favorite son. Okay, Mom? Smith, Olivia (June 24, 2009).

And although he was exhausted from the ordeal of being arrested and booked, he didn’t sleep.

Given Maher’s skill at stealing cars and his penchant for bragging about his exploits, it was to be expected that he would get to know most of the body shop owners in Queens, particularly those who preferred not to buy auto parts. Joey Braccini, for example. So, when a local Queens man named Jimmy Nace introduced Braccini to an Irish kid who’s good with cars, Braccini immediately offered Maher a job.

Miraculously, Maher wasn’t hit, and the speeding Hemi took him out of range of the troopers’ guns within seconds. But now he had another problem. Since he couldn’t see the road without headlights, he was forced to slow down. And the Interceptor was somewhere close behind him. Maher managed to get through grade school—at St. Anne’s and St. Brendan’s—but at fourteen his emotional state worsened considerably when his mother moved in with a man named Edward Tierney. Maher saw Tierney as a drunk and a no-good. Whatever Tierney was like, it wouldn’t have mattered to Maher. No one could measure up to his father. No one. As far as Maher was concerned, his father was a saint who loved his kids. In 2001, Staub briefly acted in an episode of All My Children.

MAHER’S MOTHER SCRAPED TOGETHER ENOUGH FOR A RETAINER AND hired an attorney named James Morihan. Morihan was a large man, six feet, two inches tall and weighing more than two hundred fifty pounds. He had bloodshot eyes, a ruddy complexion, and a drinker’s nose. When Maher met Morihan it was the middle of the afternoon. Yet Morihan reeked of alcohol. Autumn came, and for most fourteen-year-olds, it meant an exciting event: entering high school. But Maher spent exactly one day in high school and remained a truant until March 1969. All he wanted to do at this point was get out of town. Go somewhere exciting. But how does a fourteen-year-old get out of town? On February 1, after spending a month at the Adolescent Remand Shelter on Rikers Island, Maher appeared in court for his arraignment, and Morihan was ready to plead his case for reduced bail. Youthful offender. No previous record. Morihan was confident that it would merely be a formality. Six days later, on Christmas Eve, Maher was led into a courtroom. Represented by a public defender, Maher listened as the charges were read. Then the public defender pointed out that Maher had no previous record and asked for a bail reduction.
