At this point, because of all the changing details about the crime scene (and I don't attribute that, for the most part, to translation issues- for instance, Mark Fuhrman reported a few weeks back that there was not a lot of blood at the scene, and he got the details directly from the medical examiner, but now we're told again that blood was everywhere), I distrust everything coming from official Peruvian sources.
So, while you cite the fact Stephany's blood is supposedly on Joran's shirt, I counter with the previous "fact" that Joran was supposedly found with his bloody clothes on him (not wearing them- in his bag?) I also counter the "fact" that Joran strangled Stephany with his own shirt with the previous "facts" that the murder weapon was a baseball bat, tennis racket or professional karate chop which broke her neck. All of these "facts" were not lost in translation, they came from the medical examiner or the chief of the investigation in Peru.
The armed robbers are from Joran's alleged story to the Chilean authorities, who are hardly any more credible than Peru's. Bottom line- I have never thought Joran willingly confessed, so I'm not concerned about any of the ridiculous details in that "confession."
I readily admit that Joran is hard to defend and his own worst enemy. In fact, I think that's the reason why so many people on this forum, and in the country in general, are ignoring all the glaring inconsistencies and illogical nature of the "evidence" against him. He has been thoroughly demonized for years by the American press, and unfortunately has never done very much to rehabilitate his image. Thus, there is a predisposed yearning on the part of the public to see him punished for something.
