Take this with a grain of salt since I'm not sure how factual this report is, dated July 9:
"Joran van der Sloot is at it again, and this time he has
3 defense attorneys to stand behind him.
Joran van der Sloot's
defense team arrived in Lima on Friday, and they have already began new tactics to get Joran van der Sloot free until his trial date. However, that could be highly unlikely in Van der sloot's case.
According to the Caylee Daily, lawyers for Van der Sloot are
planning to argue that there was a third person in the room the night 21-year-old business student, Stephany Flores was murdered."

First of all, no other media has mentioned the arrival of the 2 additional lawyers on Friday and this article does not mention their names. We know Tacopina is not one of them.
Second, how can they possibly state a third person was in the room? :furious: Wouldn't the hotel video tapes disprove that? I'm sure the hotel has round the clock videos for each day. And, even if there was a third person, how is the defense going to explain Stephany's blood all over Joran's shirt and other clothing??
So, I'll wait until I see this reported elsewhere before I believe anything in this report.
MOO
