I was feeling sorry for Joran's mom, but not any more. Why is it that these parents go into denial and try to protect their child at any cost, when the evidence is clearly there. She is still in denial about what happened to Natalee. If she knew he needed to be in a mental facility, why didn't she issue an alert saying that instead of saying after he has killed again. We have seen this type of behaviour in a parent over and over, which leads me to believe that this making excuses for and denying what they have done is part of the problem. It makes them think they can do anything and the parents will be there to take up for them. How refreshing it would be to see a parent of one who has murdered or committed any other serious crime to stand up and say, " This is my child and I love him/her, but I am so sorry for what they have done and know they must pay the penalty".
Didn't AVS lean towards the fact that Joran "may have killed Stephany" and that he should be punished for what he did to Stephany? . At least this is a step in the right direction. AVS indicated "she can't embrace her son" etc., etc. and he should pay for the crime which indicates, "this is my child, I love him" etc. etc. and he should pay for the crime.
AVS did admit they made a mistake sending Joran off to school.
I can't judge AVS for believing her son's story about Natalie. All I can do is hope that at some point what happened to Natalie comes together and perhaps at that point AVS will make a statement. Until then, she is guilty of believing her son; and Joran is clearly the cause of Natalie's disappearance and for killing Stephany. JMO
I read on a blog somewhere - don't know where now, sorry - from someone who has access to JVS's facebook page which said that both Anita and Julie Renfro sent messages of love and good wishes to him via his facebook after he left for Peru. If true, it pokes holes in her claim of intending to have him commited to a mental institution, IMO.
Yes, and it was video taped as he reviewed the documents. I'm sure the Judge will use the video in determining his decision today as well as all the hotel/casino videos. Videos don't lie.His Spanish is very good, he conversed with the official prior to signing the paper and he studied it carefully, reading every word.
HE'S A SLICK ONE......he's been a 'teflon' murderer throughout the Holloway case and now his goose is cooked and he knows it.
I believe Anita will see the truth in regards to Natalee now, it may take awhile to 'process' of course.
And agree that Joran is definitely upping the chances of him being killed sooner rather than later with these statements. I can't see the Flores family 'ordering a hit' or any such thing however, they are too evolved, but someone else just might..
With all the evidence against Joran, videos, everything, how can his mother
NOT admit that Joran killed Stephany. She stated that he lies and now she's coming out with the 'mental' defense.
She knows he's in deep dooo dooo now and everything points to HIM AND HIM ALONE. There are NO Kalpoes in this one to blame. Only JVDS himself.
AIMO
We really can't go on what someone says on their blog, from someone who has access to JVS's Facebook as it basically spreading a rumor.
Huffington Post version of retraction:
De Telegraaf said the 22-year-old Dutchman claims he only signed papers admitting killing Stephany Flores because he was intimidated by police and had been promised he would be transferred to the Netherlands if he confessed.
"I was very scared and confused during the interrogations and wanted to get away," the paper quoted him as saying. "In my blind panic, I signed everything, but didn't even know what it said."
"I was tricked," the paper quoted Van der Sloot as saying of Flores' killing. "I'll explain later how it all happened."
A self-avowed compulsive liar, Van der Sloot has several times given and retracted admissions of involvement in Holloway's disappearance.

That's why I put, "If true" underlined in my post. Just commenting on what I read and found interesting.
Yes, and it was video taped as he reviewed the documents. I'm sure the Judge will use the video in determining his decision today as well as all the hotel/casino videos. Videos don't lie.
I think that mental institution is for AN INSANITY PLEA.
It won't work. Not with the Peruvians.
