BREAKING NEWS!

Confession may be thrown out!  Decision any minute.

Talking heads are going back and forth on why he will or won't get out, even if it's thrown out.  If they do, how many more girls does he need to kill?  He's dangerous and a serial killer.

THEY CAN'T LET HIM GO!!!!!!

Considering I have been wrong time and time again over the past five years .... I thought I had learned not to say "it will never happen" in regards to Joran van der Sloot and the accountability issue.  However ... I will say it again in reference to the latest Nancy Grace BOMBSHELL ... "it will never happen".

Good Morning Monkeys

NANCY GRACE
Peruvian Appeals Court to Rule on Van Der Sloot Objections
Aired August 23, 2010 - 20:00:00   ET


NANCY GRACE, HOST: Breaking news tonight in the disappearance of Alabama beauty Natalee Holloway, missing from her high school senior trip, Aruba. Aruban police refused to make a case against judge`s son Joran Van Der Sloot even after he admits he hid the body. Now Van Der Sloot kills another girl who meets him at a resort casino. She`s found beaten, bloody, neck broken, partially clothed on his hotel room floor. Spine-chilling video of Van Der Sloot with 21-year-old Stephany just before she`s found dead.

Bloody clothes from the murder found with Van Der Sloot on the run. After beating her to a pulp and breaking her neck, he kicks back with a cup of coffee and Danish, inches from the dead body. Blood drenching the crime scene, the bedroom floor, the bathroom floor, the bed, the hallway. DNA under the dead girl`s nails proving a death match with the hulking Dutchman.

Bombshell tonight. Even though two girls already dead at the hands of the judge`s son, including an American, with Van Der Sloot suspected in the disappearance of women in Thailand, Colombia, tonight, believe it or not, is judge`s son Joran Van Der Sloot set to walk free?

GRACE: Joran Van Der Sloot potentially set to walk free? We are awaiting word right now to determine whether judge`s son Joran Van Der Sloot, with blood on his hands from two young women, including an American, is set to walk free? ....

Out to legal correspondent from "In Session" Jean Casarez. Jean, please tell me I`m wrong.

JEAN CASAREZ, "IN SESSION": You`re right. You`re very right. Joran Van Der Sloot is in his cell tonight at Castro Castro prison in Lima, waiting for the superior court to issue its ruling. He hopes that they will say he is being illegally detained under Peruvian law, he will be set free, Nancy.

GRACE: Jean, Jean, Jean! It`s all BS, Jean, everything he`s arguing. He`s arguing, one, he was framed, blah, blah. We hear that a million times out of every jail in America. I was framed, the cops did it, wah-wah, eh- eh! OK. He`s claiming he was framed. He`s claiming his lawyer was sleeping with a cop. He`s claiming the interpreter wasn`t bona fide. He`s got one other claim. What is it, Jean?

CASAREZ: Well, the claims are that the translator was not an official translator...

GRACE: Right.

CASAREZ: ... as he purported to be, and that the lawyer was not a lawyer representing his interests. Those are the two major claims. Also suing the prosecutor and the chief of police.

Expert: Peruvian Court Won't Toss van der Sloot's Confession

(Aug. 24) -- A Peruvian appellate court will issue a decision this week on whether to uphold the confession of Joran van der Sloot in the brutal slaying of a 21-year-old woman in Lima.

Some in the media speculate that if the confession is thrown out, van der Sloot could walk free. But an international defense expert doesn't believe the judges will even consider throwing out the confession.

"There's not a chance in hell," said Michael Griffith, senior partner at the International Legal Defense Counsel. "The judges live there, and the people know who the judges are. You see where I'm going? This won't be thrown out."

And even without the confession, Griffith said, "they have plenty of independent evidence."

Van der Sloot, a longtime suspect in the disappearance of U.S. teen Natalee Holloway, is accused of the May 30 slaying of Stephany Flores. The Peruvian business student was found dead in van der Sloot's hotel room in Lima on June 2. Van der Sloot has been charged with first-degree murder and robbery in the case.

After van der Sloot's arrest, officials in Peru announced he had made a full confession to Flores' murder. Van der Sloot said he broke Flores' neck in a fit of rage after she used his laptop to find out about his involvement in the Holloway case, officials said.

"I did not want to do it," van der Sloot allegedly said about the attack. "The girl intruded into my private life. She had no right. I went to her, and I hit her. She was scared. We argued, and she tried to escape. I grabbed her by the neck, and I hit her."

The Dutchman later retracted that confession, saying he was arrested without a warrant and was not provided with an official translator, which he says caused confusion during questioning. Van der Sloot also said his laptop was improperly searched.

"All this with the intention of pressuring me to accuse [myself] of homicide," the Dutch native said in the complaint, obtained by the Peruvian news program "24 Hours."

In June, Superior Court Judge Wilder Casique Alvizuri spent nearly a week examining the evidence in the case before ruling that van der Sloot's claim that his habeas corpus rights had been violated was "unfounded." Alvizuri said he determined that van der Sloot had not only a state-appointed attorney present during his depositions but also a Dutch-Spanish translator.

Van der Sloot's attorney immediately appealed the decision. The case has since gone before a panel of three Peruvian judges. They are expected to review the details of the confession and issue a ruling sometime this week.

"We believe we did a good job demonstrating that there wasn't an official translator and that his attorney did not have a document accrediting her as his attorney," van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez Navarro, told "In Session" on Aug. 20.

If convicted of Flores' murder, van der Sloot could face 15 to 35 years in prison.

Griffith has counseled and represented clients in more than 40 countries on a variety of charges. His most renowned case, involving an American incarcerated in a Turkish prison, was the basis for the film and book "Midnight Express."

He said he's certain van der Sloot will go to trial, even without the confession. "They have the video of him going in the room, they have DNA [evidence] on his shirt, they have the consciousness of guilt because he tried to flee and they have video tapes [of them together] inside the casino," he said.

"There is more than enough persuasive evidence to hold this case over for trial," Griffith continued. "Take this one to the bank -- you can quote me on that. Case closed."

Murder case Joran delayed

Print dit artikel 

ORANJESTAD/LIMA — The murder case against the 22-year old Joran van der Sloot, who is behind bars in Peru, is delayed as there is no official interpreter available.

In a letter, the Peruvian association of official certified interpreters stated they had no members who could translate from Spanish into the Dutch language.

Joran’s lawyer, Máximo Altez, said this last weekend during a TV-interview broadcasted by
Panamericana Televisión. Moreover, he showed the letter in question from the translation bureau. According to Altez, the Dutch embassy in Peru does not have an official interpreter available either. The process against Joran, according to the lawyer, cannot proceed before the authorities have solved the translation problem.

Joran is currently in remand in the Castro Castro prison in Lima on suspicion of murdering Stephany Flores (21). Her body was found in a hotel room in the Peruvian Miraflores, which was registered in Joran’s name. Autopsy revealed that Flores had died on May 30th 2010, exactly five years after the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. Joran is also still the main suspect in the Holloway-case.

Smiling pose criminal murderers
Television program broadcast a picture taken in Castro Castro where they are seen as being at a party
The days of confinement for the seasoned criminal aliens Joran van der Sloot, Ospina Hugo Trujillo and William Trickett Smith II are not as dark and difficult as one might imagine.

The program Sunday was a picture a day in which the Dutchman is very cheerful, and with some extra kilos, alongside his close friend of Trujillo, the murderer of the entrepreneur Myriam Fefer, and Trickett, the American accused of killing his wife and hiding her body in a suitcase, then tossed into the sea.

The three are being held in the area of prevention of the Miguel Castro Castro "very close to each other, and, based on image, not have any remorse.

The most smiling in the photograph is the Colombian Trujillo, who poses as if holding a pistol. He and Joran have established a strong bond of friendship they do not have permission to go outside and spend their time eating burgers and pizzas. A Trickett's arrival, both welcomed, but Joran talked more with him in English, to enter into trust.

The video recorded the Dutchman playing poker with former inmate Luis Valdez, a former mayor of Coronel Portillo. The other inmates call him "gringo" to Joran and "Clown" Trujillo Ospina.

SEALING TRIAL. His capture is not delayed even a week, but the trial that followed the murder of Flores Stephany expands every day.

Due to the lack of an official language interpreter Netherlands, the process to Joran van der Sloot paralyzed risk although there is strong evidence against him because, in his statement to the police, said on May 30 killed the young.

"If there is no interpreter, the trial can not proceed because the required due process," said Max Highness, lawyer of the European.

He stressed that while there are translators of that language, what is required is an official interpreter, but that neither the Netherlands Embassy and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have them. The Judiciary would solve this problem in the coming days.

Thanks Northern Rose

If Joran van der Sloot's confession is thrown out because it is determined that the translator assigned to him by the Dutch Embassy was not an "official" translator ... I would assume that all Dutch prisoners in the Peruvian prison system who confessed to a crime will be afforded the same consideration.

Flashback

LIMA, Peru, June 26, 2010
Judge: Van der Sloot Confession Stands


(CBS/AP)  A Peruvian judge on Friday denied a defense motion to void the confession of Joran van der Sloot in the slaying of Stephany Flores.

The motion claimed the confession should be dismissed because the attorney representing van der Sloot at the time was state-appointed.

Superior Court Judge Wilder Casique rejected the habeas corpus move made on behalf of Van der Sloot, who is jailed pending trial on charges of first-degree murder and robbery in the May 30 death in his Lima hotel room of 21-year-old Peruvian business student Stephany Flores. He met her while playing poker in a casino.

Van der Sloot, 22, also remains the sole suspect in the unresolved 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway on the Caribbean island of Aruba. He's never been charged in that crime.

Flores' brother hailed the decision in an interview with CBS News, and said his family has been in touch with Holloway's.

Peruvian police say their search of van der Sloot's computer discovered e-mails relating to the Holloway case. In his confession, van der Sloot said he killed Flores after she read one of those e-mails.

Casique noted in a statement that Van der Sloot had, in addition to the lawyer, been afforded a Dutch-Spanish interpreter vetted by the Dutch Embassy.

Van der Sloot recanted the confession in a jailhouse interview with the Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf, claiming it was made under duress.

The defendant's lawyer, Maximo Altez, told The Associated Press he would appeal Casique's decision to a higher court.

A criminal law expert, Jose Balcazar, told the AP that Van der Sloot can continue the appeal but "that will not hold up the case against him."

Earlier Friday, the chief judge of Lima's Superior Court, Cesar Vega, told reporters that Peruvian laws allow up to six months for murder trials.

But legal expert Mario Amoretti said that in practice, cases like Van der Sloot's can last 18 months.

Balcazar said the defense is likely to try to draw the trial out.

If convicted, Van der Sloot faces between 15 and 35 years in prison.

Logic dictates that representatives at the Dutch Embassy should have been aware that an "official" translator would have been a requirement in regards to Joran van der Sloot's confession.  Was there an underlying plan to derail the Peruvian investigative process?  Could it be that Peruvian investigators would have assumed that the translator assigned by the Dutch Embassy was "official"?

Appeals panel considers van der Sloot's confessionBy the CNN Wire Staff
August 24, 2010 9:44 a.m. EDT


(CNN) -- A panel of Peruvian judges is considering whether to uphold the confession of Joran van der Sloot, who is accused of killing a 21-year-old woman.

The three-judge appellate panel is expected to hand down a decision in about a week.

"We believe we did a good job demonstrating that there wasn't an official translator and that his attorney (at the time of the confession) did not have a document accrediting her as his attorney," van der Sloot's attorney, Maximo Altez Navarro, told In Session on Friday.

Van der Sloot is jailed pending trial on charges of first-degree murder and robbery in the May 30 death in of Stefany Flores, a 21-year-old student.

The 22-year-old Dutch citizen, who claims in court documents that his incarceration and confession were illegal, sued attorney Luz Marina Romero Chinchay in July. Van der Sloot says Romero was imposed on him and that she became involved because she was in a relationship with a police officer, said Altez.

Romero has denied those allegations.

In June, a superior court judge in Lima, Peru, upheld the confession and incarceration of van der Sloot. Judge Wilder Casique Alvizuri declared as "unfounded" van der Sloot's habeas corpus claim that his constitutional rights were violated at the time of the confession because he was represented by a state-appointed attorney.

Van der Sloot also claimed his laptop had been improperly searched.

In an official press release, the judge said the suspect had a translator made available to him during the three depositions he gave the police and that his laptop was sealed once delivered to the court.

Separately, van der Sloot remains a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba in 2005, though he has not been charged in that case.

Van der Sloot Case: Peruvian Authorities Need Dutch Translator
Updated: Tuesday, 24 Aug 2010, 9:00 AM EDT
Published : Tuesday, 24 Aug 2010, 9:00 AM EDT


(NewsCore) - Legal proceedings against murder suspect Joran van der Sloot have ground to a halt because Peruvian authorities are unable to find him a interpreter, De Telegraaf reported Monday.

Van der Sloot's lawyer told a Peruvian TV station that neither the Dutch Embassy nor the country's courts could find anyone capable of translating from Dutch to Spanish.

Maximo Altez said the case against his client -- accused of murdering 21-year-old student Stephany Flores -- was stagnating while authorities struggled to solve the problem.

Panamericana Television showed a letter from Peru's national association of translators confirming that none of its members are capable of translating from Dutch to Spanish.

Dutch officials confirmed to De Telegraaf in the wake of the interview that the country's embassies can recommend translators but do not supply them directly.


Van der Sloot, a resident of Aruba, has apparently admitted killing Flores in his Lima hotel room on May 30 but is trying to have the confession declared invalid.

Peruvian officials are due to rule on its admissibility in the next few days, according to reports. One of the arguments put before them by van der Sloot's legal team was that there was no interpreter present when he allegedly confessed, highlighting the ongoing translation problems in the case.

Van der Sloot remains the prime suspect in the unrelated 2005 disappearance of American teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba. He also faces charges of extortion and wire fraud in the U.S.

De Vries says not guilty in Australian court, case adjourned

Tuesday 24 August 2010

Television reporter Peter R de Vries has pleaded not guilty in an Australian court to disobeying a police order to stay away from an international crime suspect, news agency AP reports.

De Vries and a colleague were arrested last week after visiting a property in Perth despite being told by police to stay away.

De Vries said he was trying to deliver a letter to a man he suspects of involvement in the death of Dutch woman Mariska Mast while on holiday in Honduras in 2008.

A British-Australian diving instructor was arrested but later freed and his passport confiscated. With dual nationality, he used a second passport to flee Honduras. De Vries and his team traced him to Perth.

Interpol

According to AP, Interpol lists the man as wanted by a Honduran court for alleged crimes against life and health.

The case against De Vries has been adjourned until September 7, when a trial date will be set, AP reported.

De Vries made global headlines in 2008 with a tv show about the disappearance of US teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba in 2005. The show was based on hidden-camera interviews with Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch man last seen with Holloway before she vanished.

Dutch reporter pleads not guilty in Australia to trying to contact murder suspect

By The Associated Press (CP) – 15 hours ago

PERTH, Australia — A prominent Dutch television reporter pleaded not guilty in an Australian court Tuesday to disobeying a police order to stay away from an international crime suspect.
Television journalist Peter de Vries and colleague Chantal van Schuylenburgh were arrested last week after officials said they visited a property in Perth, Western Australia, several times despite being warned by police to stay away.

De Vries, 53, said they were trying to contact a suspect in the slaying of Dutch woman Mariska Mast, who died while vacationing in Honduras in 2008. Interpol lists the man as wanted by a Honduran court for alleged crimes against life and health.

On Tuesday, De Vries pleaded not guilty to disobeying a move-on order in Perth Magistrates Court, arguing he had a "reasonable excuse" for failing to comply with the instructions. In a statement to reporters, de Vries said he just wanted to talk to the man to hear his side of the story.

De Vries is the Netherlands' highest-profile crime reporter. He made global headlines for a 2008 show about the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway in Aruba. It was based on hidden-camera interviews with Joran van der Sloot, the Dutch man last seen with Holloway before her disappearance on May 30, 2005.

De Vries told journalists outside court that he thought his treatment by Australian police was "out of proportion" to what he had done.

"I think I did nothing wrong," he said. "It's very hard to plead guilty when you don't feel guilty."
Van Schuylenburgh pleaded guilty on Saturday to the same charge, was fined 200 Australian dollars ($178) and charged AU$62.50 in court costs.

De Vries' case was adjourned until Sept. 7, when a trial date will be set. The journalist said he plans to fly back to the Netherlands on Tuesday night and doesn't know if he will return for the trial.

"I can look back over the past 10 years and there were no steps wasted, and there are no regrets,'' she said. "I did all I knew to do and I think that gives me greater peace now." "I've lived every parent's worst nightmare and I'm the parent that nobody wants to be," she said.

Peter trial in Australia postponed to September


Peter was released on bail by the Australian court

The Magistrates Court of Western Australia in Perth today the case against Peter is not content discussed, but postponed to September 7.

Expected was that Peter could run defense today against charges that he had ignored police instructions. But because it was at the beginning of the session he said that the indictment is wrong ("plead not guilty), saw the court forced a new date fixed. The Australian press was for the morning session of massively torn. The issue is already in Australia national news for days. There were eleven camera crews from news bulletins and current affairs programs, many photographers and journalists writing.


Peters was arrested in Australia last few days, national news

Disappointed
Peter said afterwards that he was disappointed that the case was not materially affected. "I had to set it there and had finished my call. The matter is now put on September 7, but it is questionable whether I could be with yourself. I fly tonight back to the Netherlands and then two weeks later the whole trip for a lawsuit here, although sensitive, but in fact it is a trifle. There is also a chance that the session was postponed again. I am tall order in terms of cost and time. I must think about. "

Deposit
The judge said the hearing will be held in absentia if Peter does not show up. A request by the prosecution to establish a deposit in order to guarantee the return of Peter was rejected by the court.

Meanwhile the pressure on the matter raised by the media and journalists are Australian daily to the door to the fugitive murder suspect Dan Ross, who wants nothing more to explain and call the police for protection remains.

If Joran and Max Highness want to play games ... they can either put Joran in the general population or release him straight to the streets after publicly announcing the time and place.

RIGHT!!! They have hard evidence, including an ironclad video collection of exactly who had the ONLY opportunity to kill Stephany! The confession will stand anyway, IMO, but even without it, Joran's a goner. I'm anxious for him to complete his full tour of the Peruvian penal system.

Peru investigates van der Sloot prison picture
By the CNN Wire Staff
August 24, 2010 8:15 p.m. EDT

(CNN) -- Authorities in Peru said Tuesday they have begun disciplinary action against jailers who photographed suspected killer Joran van der Sloot posing with two other men held in connection with high-profile killings there.

The photograph, first aired by the Peruvian television network America TV, shows the 22-year-old van der Sloot standing alongside fellow inmates Hugo Trujillo Ospina and William Trickett Smith II. A fourth man in the picture is not identified.

Peru's National Institute of Corrections said Tuesday that disciplinary action was in the works over the photo.

"On August 23, the Office of Internal Affairs of the institution began administrative and disciplinary actions with the goal of establishing responsibility over the acts of official misconduct by employees of the Castro Castro Correctional Institution," the agency announced. "They improperly used photographic equipment that was meant for administrative duties."

Van der Sloot faces a murder charge in the death of college student Stephany Flores, who was found dead in his Lima hotel room in May. Police said he confessed to the killing after his arrest, but van der Sloot is asking a court to throw out his statement.

Authorities say van der Sloot has not received any visits from his family or given any interviews since his arrest.

The 22-year-old Dutch national was a suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway on Aruba. He was arrested twice but released both times for lack of evidence. He has denied involvement and has not been charged in the case, though federal prosecutors in the United States say he tried to extort $250,000 from Holloway's mother in exchange for information about the whereabouts of her daughter's remains.

Ospina, a Colombian, faces trial for murder in the contract killing of Peruvian entrepreneur Myriam Fefer, while Smith is accused of killing his Peruvian wife, dismembering her and stuffing her body in a suitcase that was later found by fishermen offshore.

Ospina, Smith and van der Sloot were being held in a protective custody wing of the Castro Castro prison, away from other inmates, when the photo was taken last week, Peruvian authorities said. Van der Sloot is the only one of the three who is now being held there, they said.

Re. disciplinary action - just as I suspected.

Re. removal of the others from protective custody - Hummm. Joran essentially is in isolation - without his pen pals. (Bet they're pizzed about that. Wonder if they got sent to gen pop.)

Why did they have to disappear her body?
