Aruba - Natalee Holloway, 18, Oranjestad, 30 May 2005 *AL extortion trial* *Guilty* #3

Did he actually confess to bludgeoning Natalee? I see no tweets from the hearing saying that, only press releases from earlier in the day and him confessing to lying about her death during the hearing.

I believe they are quoting Beth Holloway who said that in court. She knows the details of his confession so I think it's legit.

BH says he confessed to killing her on the beach and putting her in the water, confirmed by polygraph. She won't give details of the "brutal confession" but that will be released when the proffer is made public.

She says she is satisfied that the case is solved. But jmo I would like more than a polygraph as corroboration.

Chanley Painter says at one point BH looked at JVDS and told him, "And by the way, you look like hell Joran, I don't see how you're going to make it." And the gallery exploded with laughter.

What JVDS gets out of the confession is the sentence is concurrent and the US can't use what he said in confession against him in future, per Painter.

But what about Aruba? Will they press charges?

Statute of limitations has run out. Although the judge told him there is no guarantee laws won't change in future there.

BH was able to watch JVDS's confession, either on video or from another room.

Did I miss Dave? Was Dave present? TIA

I've been multi-tasking. ;)
