So that dirt-ball Joran Van Der Sloot has confessed to murdering Stephany Flores Ramirez, who had the misfortune of meeting him at a Peru casino (more proof gambling doesn’t pay) on May 30th. So this guy who has been mum on the Natalee Holloway case for EXACTLY 5 years (yeah that was a spooky coincidence huh?) and now he spills his guts like so much pasta? Something is weird about this whole deal. Time Magazine reports he is angling for a lighter sentence and that would irritate about everyone except maybe his momma. There are several factors to consider though in the interest of justice:
1) Peruvian prison is said to be hell on earth [he’ll suffer immensely]
2) Ramirez allegedly won 1K at the casino which was not at the crime scene and that fact might give way to an aggravated burglery charge which can carry a life sentence in Peru.
On the downside:
1) there is no death penalty in Peru,
2) the FBI may have unwittingly funded VanDer Goob’s trip to SA by bankrolling the 25K he received as part of an info-for-$$ scheme he hatched against the Holloway fam recently.
Either way what goes around usually comes around as it appears to have done in this case.
