I can't believe I slept through JVDS's court appearance! After waiting all these years, I missed him finally admitting in open court to at least one of his crimes.
Anyway, it seems the news sites aren't really sure what's going to transpire, for sure. They just know he pled guilty and must come back on Friday for sentencing. From an article I saw last night, it's now up to the judges to decide if it was a 'vicious' crime. Stefanie's family or attorney said something along the lines of the def attorney's assumption he could get a sentence reduced to 12 years or so, is untrue. He's facing 28 to 30 years. The 28 only being IF the judge's take is word for how the crime happened.
Question: What murder isn't brutal?
I bet the Holloway family is in tears today. They just wish he'd pay for his alleged crime to Natalee.
But at the least, he now won't be able to victimize any other poor girl/woman.
JMHO

nothing new really, except today's court appearance, albeit brief. Various videos of previous broadcasts about JVDS that aired on ABC.
