for those of you concerned about JVFS wiggleability, you need to remember where he is. and, more importantly, where he is not.
he is not in Aruba, america or Holland.
end of story. end of JVDS.
except its even worse. he has "allegedly" killed a daughter of the ruling class. The evidence is overwhelming. he has already lied about it, not to mention flight. and now he is lying about his lies: they tricked me into confessing. if it is true that leniency comes with confessing in Peru, then it probably works the other way around. so his new story about his "tricked" confession can only drive the nails deeper into his coffin.
as for AVDS, I have no sympathy for her. had she done what she should have done 5 years ago, everyone would be better off right now, including JVDS.
Just my opinion, of course, but I don't think this murder was planned out in advance. He doesn't seem that methodical to me. I certainly could be wrong.
What about (a) possession of stolen property and
(b) skipping out on a hotel bill? (that's theft too I believe):twocents:
There's gonna be an exclusive interview with Anita van der Sloot on Dutch TV tomorrow. Don't know if anyone is interested but I'll keep you updated!
Thank you. I see the comment, now if we can get it from a website to confirm it, that would be great especially since we are seeing conflicting stories.
According to this report, there was a translator from the Dutch embassy with him when VDS gave his confession:
"Van der Sloot ... gave his confession in Dutch, which was translated into Spanish by a translator from the Dutch Embassy."
I'm sure the Dutch translator was also available to translate the confession document, written in Spanish, into Dutch for Joran before he signed it...so much for the 'I didn't understand' excuse IMO.

No but he seems like someone who is always hedging his bets. If his plan was to get money from Stephany, and she became "uncooperative" at some point, maybe he had that option at the back of his mind and was doing a little setting up and checking things out just in case.
The story of the robbery that he told to his mother, days before the murder, just doesn't make sense to me. Especially since he actually used that story with the Chilean LE. Add in the possibility of the tidal charts and it gets even more strange.
If the tidal charts don't exist, then the robbery story could have just been a ruse to try to get money out of his mother and she's not bothering to mention that part of the conversation in her interviews with the Dutch news media. I would imagine that if he had told her he was robbed, desperate and in need of money to get hom... and she refused...she would feel an overwhelming sense of guilt about what ultimately happened and might not want to mention that to the press. And since he already told the robbery story to his mother, it would make a good lie to tell the Chilean police I suppose. Well in his mind anyway. That's the only other way I can make sense of it.
I think it is safe to assume that JVS isn't going to be popular with other inmates. Now, with him saying his confession was coerced..... will not make him popular with the police. What's next....saying the guards pick on him? Making enemies in Castro Castro isn't wise.
In Session Jean C.:
Hearing has concluded. JVS did make a statement, but only said his due process rights have been violated. Per Altez, they are waiting on the investigation to conclude as to a habeas corpus violation. Judge will make a decison on that Wednesday (they think). If it's not in JVS's favor, it will be appealed to the Superior Court in Peru. The habeas corpus violation goes to the illegality of his detention - based on his violation of rights.
