Judge rules that Joran van der Sloot's confession will not be dismissed

Sighs of relief...........

On Friday a Peruvian judge denied a defense motion that requested Joran van der Sloot's murder confession be thrown out. CBS News reported that Superior Court Judge Wilder Casique found the request to be "baseless." Apparently the motion claimed van der Sloot's confession should be dismissed because the attorney representing him at the time was state-appointed. Other sources have reported that van der Sloot's lawyer believes his client's constitutional rights were infringed upon because he confessed to the crime during a period of duress.


The suspect in last month's slaying of 21-year-old Stephany Flores had recently retracted the original story he gave to police on the grounds that an intense interrogation had confused him. Van der Sloot reportedly said that he was led to believe he'd be able to return to the Netherlands if he told investigators what they wanted to hear.

He remains jailed at the maximum-security Miguel Castro Castro prison, where he awaits trial on charges of robbery and first-degree murder.

Joran van der Sloot retracts murder confession..... Sighs

What a shocking move this is................

Joran van der Sloot is now saying he was tricked into confessing to the murder of Stephany Flores Ramirez.

The new claim has come out after a Dutch newspaper did an interview with the 22-year-old murder suspect from his prison cell in Peru. Van der Sloot reportedly told De Telegraaf that his confession was the result of an intense interrogation with investigators, one that left him feeling pressured and scared. He also claims he was led to believe that he would be able to return to the Netherlands if he told police what they wanted to hear.

"I'll explain later how it all happened... in my blind panic, I signed everything, but didn't even know what it said.

"I was very scared and confused during the interrogations and wanted to get away," van der Sloot is quoted as saying.


Ugh... what a waste of everyone's time, dealing with this guy's charades. He needs to be locked up forever... outside of protective custody!

And as for him saying he'll talk to Arubian authorities about Natalee if he's allowed back in the country... disgusting. Nobody should believe a thing he says at this point. This is the same person who tried to extort poor Beth Holloway.

His own mother said he's sick in the head.

Joran van der Sloot: "I did not want to do it"

A confession has reportedly come out of Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores, who was found in a Lima, Peru hotel room last week. Van der Sloot is notorious for his suspected role in the 2005 disappearance of Natalie Holloway in Aruba, although authorities were never able to nab him for it.

A day after Flores' body was discovered in a hotel room registered to his name, van der Sloot was arrested in Chile and extradited to Peru. The police who interrogated him reportedly got him to confess to murdering the girl, with whom he can be seen on a casino surveillance video from Sunday night. According to a report by CBS News, Police say that van der Sloot told them that he snapped when he realized Stephany Flores had gone through some of his personal things. The story, published in the La Republica newspaper, hints that the girl might have discovered something related to his suspected involvement in Natalie Holloway's disappearance. Peruvian authorities reportedly listened as van der Sloot described the moment when he realized that Flores had used his laptop. He flew into a rage and grabbed her by the neck, snapping it and killing her in his hotel room, states the La Republica. "I did not want to do it," he reportedly told them.

Peru's Chief police spokesman said that van der Sloot's confession came on the eve of a planned trip to the hotel, where the suspect was going to help reconstruct the events which lead to Flores' murder.
