Van Der Sloot is a dead man.

Another news program showed a short clip of inmates and how they live in the place where he is being held. It is a gruesome and violent place. The guy in the CBS story is right. That's why Van Der Sloot is trying so hard to make a deal with the Aruba authorities to serve time there instead of Peru.

I do disagree with this part
"And he's probably trying to plan his next move, but he doesn't have a lot of options. This isn't like the U.S. judicial system, where you're innocent until proven guilty. It's the Napoleonic system, where you're guilty until proven innocent. He's got a lawyer who he probably cannot understand.

The type of legal system is irrelevant after you confess in detail and when there is videotape of you and the victim going into your hotel room, you leaving, and no one else entering until the body was discovered.

Most people I know think he has it coming.
He is a lying, remorseless douche-bag. He probably killed that Holloway girl. He really enjoyed the media attention and exploited it for all it was worth. He toyed with the emotions of the Holloway's loved ones. He very probably killed that Flores girl in Peru, judging by the camera evidence.
And in between all those things he has also tried his hand at human trafficking in Thailand and tried to extort money from Holloway's mother by promising to tell her where Natalee's body is buried.

I can understand the media fascination. He's like a character out of a mini-series.
In fact if this had been a movie, I'd have put it down to bad and hammy writing.
He actually played to the public eye flaunting the fact that there was no evidence and he could not be convicted and what does he do? Kill a young woman from a prominent family in a country that quite literary has the worst prisons in the world.

Remember the thread about 'what happened to your bully' a while ago?
Some people can probably join that thread and say; 'My bully was stabbed in the neck in Peruvian jail'.

Ultimately it is all tragic.

His mother gave an interview recently in which she stated that she had convinced her son to go into a psychiatric ward. He was having severe trouble since his fathers'death.
Four days before being committed, he ran off to Peru.
In an ultimate irony, because that country has no extradition deal with the Netherlands.

And boy, would he like to be extradited now.

He had problems before his father's death, in the Holloway case his father played some misty scheme helping him. Too bad for Joran his (on Aruba) influential daddy is no longer there for him now.

I think the guy has a major personality disorder.
His life would have ended up a train wreck one way or another.

He managed to do it in a especially spectacular way, though.

There was talk of him being involved in the disappearance of other girls before the Flores case. If that turns out to be true he's a serial killer, not just a violent sociopathic nut.
 
What I find really freaky are the Nancy Grace shows and those of that ilk.

Aside from this case, which seems pretty watertight, how can anyone ever have a fair trial after being on that travesty? Who actually watches this crap?

The same people who watch other "reality " shows.

This reminds me somewhat of Ted Bundy, who escaped from prison where he was being held on murder charges, went to Florida, where they actually execute condemned people quite a lot, and raped and murdered a 12 year old girl. I hesitate to call it an actual death wish, but maybe it's a pushing of the line, a risk taking behavior taken to the extreme.

Whatever it is, one way or the other, I will not grieve to see him ending his days in a Peruvian prison.
 
I've deliberately avoided following the story. But based on what little I know, I also wouldn't call Bobby the Bookmaker to place any bets on his life either.

I despise Nancy Grace, and if her courtroom persona is anything like her TV Persona, no wonder she was fired from her job as a prosecutor.
That's the big joke..Grace failed as a prosecuting attoney in the real world.
But people like Nancy Grace is the price we pay for free speech.....you hae to permit the A Holes of the world to have their say too.
But..yeah, Van Sloot is toast.Open and Shut case.

I agree about Nancy Grace.
 
If he is killed in prison I hope his killers (if found) are prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

Better yet, they could be pardoned, or given time off their sentence for performing a good deed for all of humanity.
