Expert: Peruvian Court Won't Toss van der Sloot's Confession

.

(Aug. 24) -- ...Some in the media speculate that if van der Sloot's confession is thrown out, van der Sloot could walk free. But an international defense expert doesn't believe the judges will even consider throwing out the confession.

.

"There's not a chance in hell," said Michael Griffith, senior partner at the International Legal Defense Counsel.

"The judges live there, and the people know who the judges are. You see where I'm going? This won't be thrown out...even without the confession," Griffith said, "they have plenty of independent evidence."

.

Van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, is accused of the May 30 slaying of Stephany Flores....

.

The Dutchman confessed, then later retracted, saying he was arrested without a warrant and was not provided with an official translator, which he says caused confusion during questioning. Van der Sloot also said his laptop was improperly searched."All this with the intention of pressuring me to accuse [myself] of homicide," the Dutch native said in the complaint, obtained by the Peruvian news program "24 Hours..."

.

In June, Superior Court Judge Wilder Casique Alvizuri spent nearly a week examining the evidence in the case before ruling that van der Sloot's claim that his habeas corpus rights had been violated was "unfounded..."

Does anyone know why Beth Twitty no longer broadcasts with Greta van Susteran? I about fell off of my chair when I actually saw her talking on Nancy Grace one evening. Holy Moly. Maybe it was an old clip from 2005.


Van der Sloot's Mom: Maybe He Missed a Chance to Become an Actor

The mother of Joran van der Sloot -- who police say is a confessed killer -- says her son is no monster and suggests that he missed his calling as an actor.

In an interview with Dutch news station The Telegraph, obtained by ABC News, Anita van der Sloot talks about her reaction to people saying her son is guilty, saying, "As a mother, you don’t want to hear things like 'He's a serial killer or he’s a monster,' because he is not. I don’t have that image of him, so it's very hard to hear that."

As the ABC report points out, the accusations started not with the death of Stephany Flores in Peru but in Aruba after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway in 2005. While Joran has never been officially charged, he remains the prime suspect in that ongoing investigation...

Over the course of the next few days, more details emerged. "My husband told me Natalie's family and uncle, mother -- with police -- had already come to the door," she says. "There had been a lot of yelling ... He thought these things should be discussed at the police station."

The situation confused her, she says, because "Joran had always been friendly with girls, why would this happen now? Why would he do something to a girl? So I didn't believe that, that he could hurt a girl in some way. As a mother, I was convinced he was incapable of it."...

"Then I thought if you lied because of this, then stop now because it's very hurtful for the parents," she says. "I felt so much for parents of Natalee. I could not imagine how it could be to lose a child, even if it was still thought that she ran away. I wanted to do everything to help."

As Joran's story changed, multiple times, his convincing tales led her to believe he had a talent for theatrics. "Maybe he missed a chance to become an actor," she says. "Maybe that should have been a role in his life ... I can hardly believe that he can fake this."

To the parents of his alleged victims, she says, "If they’d be here right now, I'd cry with them and give them a big, big hug."

The parents of Stephany Flores were quoted by ABC news saying they appreciate Mrs van der Sloot's words of support, but they worry this is all part of a scheme to create some sort of insanity defense.

Joran 's lawyer intends to appeal the rejection . If van der Sloot is convicted , he can be prisoned between fifteen and 35 years .

Joran alleen in cel uit angst voor moord

Just a note--the Dutch translation for van der Sloot is "of the ditch", which makes me smile every time I read it. In the Netherland news agencies, he is called Joran of of the ditch.
.
When van der Sloot was transferred from Miguel Castro Castro to the Palace of Justice, he got a head of rotten lettuce thrown at his head. In the heat of the battle, I wish I could come up with stuff like that. There is always something rotten in my frig. Note to self... van der Sloot now admits that he lured Stephany Flores to his room to play Internet poker after he was filmed on security tape with her both in the Atlantic City casino and in the lobby and hallway of this hotel. Now he says he broke Stephany's nose with the elbow shot, then strangled her while she was still stunned from the facial blow. I still have to wonder how he managed to dislodge her eye with a right hook, elbow to the nose and strangle to the neck.

.
Afterwards he stole her change purse and drove away in her jeep. He stole money with a value of almost 250 euro (? 5,000 US dollars do not equal 250 euros), and two credit cards. The murder in conjunction with robbery can warrant the longest sentence allowed in Peru, life in prison. It is still unclear when its process starts...
.
For five long years the Holloway family has suffered the lost of their daughter Natalee, an American on a group senior high school vacation. van der Sloot was never charged. He was never condemned, for lack of proof...
.
Now Joran wants to admit to the murder of Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005. He is hoping that this will buy him a ticket back to the Netherlands where faces are a bit more friendly to him. I imagine Aruba will send a couple of guys over to Lima to interview him--but we must remember that as late as last week, the Aruban officials contended that there is no evidence that a crime ever happened at all.
.
I'm afraid he now has to play the cards that were dealt to him. I can picture him cowering at Castro Castro. It's a much different visual than he being the big man, beating the hell out of small women, taking what he wants. Killing them.
.
But the Netherlands/Aruba still consider him a golden son, for some odd reason. Maybe it's just anti-American sentiment. But if Aruban officials don't think a crime has been committed in Aruba, why would they want to fly all the way to Peru? To hear yet another version?
.
One website (above) I read complained that it was cruel and inhumane to make Joran stand in front of the Peruvian press and let them photograph him to their hearts content. Check out the look on his face. He is pissed. He is not used to being treated with such a lack of respect. Poor Joran.

Joran van der Sloot: His Confession, or How can Dutch dweeb cause such international outrage?

La confesión de Joran van der Sloot: “La tomé por el cuello y la estrangulé”
.
The above link is the Spanish version of today's article in Peru's El Comercio.pe, which gives a bit more detail about Joran van der Sloot's confession to police concerning the homicide of Stephany Flores Ramirez in room 309 of the Hotel TAC.
.
According to “90 Seconds” noticieron (news station), the admission was offered by the Dutch citizen in the presence of an appointed counsel and with the aid of a translator who transferred the questions to him from the authorities in his own language. In agreement with the narration, van der Sloot and Flores Ramirez entered his room about 5:30 a.m. of day 30 May after playing in the Atlantic City casino.
.
As van der Sloot recounted, he suggested to Stephany that they could play poker on the Internet and for that reason they went to his room. Then - he says he received an e-mail that said “I am going to kill you mongolito (retard)”, which referred to the murder of Natalee Holloway, the young American whom he also admits to have assassinated in Aruba in 2005.
.
Next, van der Sloot spoke to Stephany about the case and he told her they had stopped investigating the crime. She - according to Joran - had a strong reaction and he gave her a blow with his fist on the left side of her head. The Dutchman states that he reacted by hitting her with an elbow, leaving Stephany “in a faint”. He said in addition that the reaction of Stephany affected him so much that he took her by the neck with the two hands and strangled her “in the space of a minute”.
.
Later, van der Sloot left the hotel in Stephany's SUV, but after leaving the vehicle parked in Furrow, he approached a taxi that took him to Ica and another taxi took him to Arica. According to his testimony, he told both taxi drivers that "they" were accusing him wrongly of murder.
.
Both of the taxi drivers are under investigation for having aided van der Sloot in leaving the country.

Joran van der Sloot: "Temo que me maten en la cárcel" ("They will kill me in jail!)
.
The confessed killer of Stephany Flores Ramirez is afraid that he will be killed in prison for revenge.
.
The coward is asking to plead to a sentence in Aruba in an attempt to escape the Peruvian prison system. He has offered to give up the location of the remains of Alabama student Natalee Holloway and while his motive has not been announced, it's my belief that he is hoping for a prison sentence in Aruba with his fathers old cronies and his mother to bring him cookies. Then in the mean time, Daddy's lawyer friends could figure out what to do with Peru.
.
Dutchman asked to plead to sentence in Aruba: The Dutch citizen Joran van der Sloot expressed fear that "they" will kill him after being committed in the penitentiary of maximum security Miguel Castro Castro. “I do not want to be imprisoned in Peru. I am scared...”, said between sobs during the confession to Police. He is also said to have cried and wailed on the telephone with his mother, claiming he was badgered into making a confession.
.
van der Sloot was transferred in an ambulance to the carceleta of Palace of Justice under much security and with a great amount of journalists.

Joran van der Sloot New Hotel TAC Video!

The Prairie Chicken
June 12, 2010

Joran van der Sloot simuló como coartada no tener llaves del cuarto donde asesinó a Stephany Flores video is in spanish, but it's worth a thousand words...

In the above video, just released by El Comercio.pe, Joran van der Sloot is caught on the security camera of the Hotel TAC before his much publicized exit from the hotel.

.

At 8:35 am, 30 May, AFTER Stephany Flores had been beaten to death, van der Sloot leaves his room with two empty disposable cups. He hesitates before he actually closes the door tight, engaging the lock.

.

He then seemingly pretends to be just returning and performs some phony knocks on the door as though trying to gain entrance. I can say the knocks are phony because, at times, his fist does not even touch the door. About here is where he spots the camera.

.

He then leaves the scene but returns two minutes later with a hotel employee who uses a pass key at 8:39 am to open the door.

.

The employee simply pushes the door lightly and backs away, instead of entering to find the melee' inside the room.
.

Finally, the Dutchman entered to the room where Stephany Flores body was, ate his breakfast, then left the country.

.

Was Joran trying to manipulate the hotel employee into finding the body? Was his idea to claim someone must have killed her when he left the room for coffee? He has already changed clothes.

Joran van der Sloot's tangled web...

This from Isabel Guerra, reporter
Joran van de Sloot's confession may be a strategy to lighten his sentence for murdering Stephany Flores, says criminal defense attorney Mario Amoretti. In opinion of Amoretti, van der Sloot may be trying to convince the authorities that he had not planned to murder Flores, but did it because of an emotional overreaction, because he got mad at her when he found her searching for his background. In this scenario, he could be sentenced to six years of imprisonment, and could apply for benefits and be released in three years for good conduct.

However, if prosecution can prove that the crime was premeditated, his sentence could range between 15 and 35 years. That's why it is very important to verify and check facts with the casino, to find out exactly how much money did each one won and lost that night...

According to Peruvian newspaper La Republica, Van der Sloot told police: "I did not want to do it. The girl intruded into my private life. She had no right. I went to her and I hit her. She was scared. We argued and she tried to escape. I grabbed her by the neck and I hit her."

Additionally, the correspondent in Colombia of the Netherlands ANP agency, Wies Ubags, confirmed to Peruvian press that Colombia is sending two homocide detectives to interrogate van der Sloot in the disappearance of two young women in the two days before he landed in Lima. These women were patrons of casinos on the nights of their vanishings, and van der Sloot did attend several casinos while his staying in Bogota.

The Columbia of the Netherlands, Algemeen Nederlands Persbureau (ANP) is the largest news agency in the Netherlands.

U.S. prosecutors say $15,000 was transferred to a Dutch bank account in his name on May 10. He arrived in Peru four days later, his visit coinciding with the runup to a June 2-5 Latin America Poker Tour tournament with a $930,000 prize pool.

And just another personal note while listening to Nancy Grace screech at the camera tonight... Joran did not go 'fetch' coffee for Stephany. He had a dead girl in his room and had been up all night. He showered, shaved, changed clothes then had two cups of coffee to wake himself up. He needed to get out of the country. The story that she snooped in his laptop is bullchit.

If he was using the ruse of a computer for sale to get her to his room, as I speculated in my last post, he would need to explain her prints/dna on the computer once the police confiscated it.

Remember how he made sure he was in class the day after Natalee died, so as not to raise suspicion? And remember his stories about how Natalee 'wanted it'--trying to blame the victim?
