I am wondering if it's because of the money. We now have someone going to the prison with food for JVDS twice a week and coincidentally the ex-girlfriend doing another interview in the Netherlands. I believe she may be funding or helping to fund his defense.
I am told that is nothing new for families of prisoners in foreign systems to have someone bring food and other necessary items, especially in the 3rd world prisons.
Melody may still be in love with him, her first love. I thought that was a teen crush for her. Oh well. Live and learn. They can spend their money foolishly if they want, but it won't help in Peru. The Judge has the final say.
For the life of me, I can't understand people who want such a gruesome murderer out free. He sure won't go to any Psych institute; I'm sure his mom thought of that after the fact and not before.
