Congratulations to you and our new American.
She was thrilled says it all! "Proud to be an American"
"Other broadcast reports say that Joran van der Sloot still has not been charged. According to those on the island, he was seen smiling and joking in the back of the police car as he left the courthouse to head back to prison."
Seems he knows that there really is no evidence against him. And that the brothers finally got the story straight. POS
Matter of fact I have. And just as everything else in this case, contradicting statements. Mr. Huston of Equusearch interviewed on Fox News earlier today stated that Aruban LE was very cooperative and things were just fine.
No jury system in Aruba.
Judge is judge & jury.
Thanks. Just more reason for Joran to be smiling.
I think that once a perp is released, the defense gets to see what evidence the prosecuter was using to have them held. I wonder if the Twitty/Holloways will get to see this info?
Tim Miller of Equusearch interviewed on Fox News
the other night, blasted all Aruban
non-assistance. The Marines included.
Miller said he & his team aren't concerned
w/anyone else's help. Equusearch is going
it alone. To hell w/the Arubans.
I do not believe Joran was wearing a vest. The other 2 were definitely not wearing vests.
From what Jug said one night,
we are getting more info than
they are.
So, that tells us how beside
themselves they must be.
I do not believe they have vests
in Aruba.
The phone call. Beth is certain. No doubt she called aruban authorities with her suspicions before she ever got there. They did nothing, and by the time she arrived, Natalee was gone. Very damning.
"Judge is judge & jury."
Must be part of living on Happy island: no jury duty.
It's going to be a lot easier for one judge to be influenced by backroom maneuvering than a panel of jurors.
Yes, I am well aware of what Mr. Miller said. I watched it 3 times. However, evidently Mr. Miller and Mr. Huston of Equusearch are not on the same page, because Mr. Huston painted a much rosier picture earlier today. I guess it has something to do with the Aruban air.
There is another search and rescue group (Northest Search and Rescuse out of NY) that should arrive in Aruba sometime this week.
Not only that, but Aruba likely
realizes they can't trust a jury
of the people to do make a
decision to their liking.
i don't think Arubans realize how their little island paradise is being destroyed.
They think things are ok because tourist are still coming....but The folks who are still visiting Aruba were already booked, it's not like people who have saved up for a trip will cancel.
The proof will be in a drop off of new bookings.
Compound this horrible publicity with the predictable book or movie and Aruba will be done for decades. If they are lucky Aruba will survive as a low-rent sex-tourism place and cheap spot for drugs
I really can't believe they would put their entire economy in peril in order to protect some 17 yr. old punk and his daddy. There has to be more to this than meets the eye.
Thanks to all for keeping those of us without cable informed!
So, what time is the press conference?
Remember when they said, 'possible more arrests'.
Unconfirmed. I read somewhere yesterday that the phone call was Natalee, saying something in the effect of I don't know these people.
According to some on SM there is quite a bit of info in People Magazine, but I am not sure whether it is in the past,current, or future issue.
Hmmmmmm.....
Can there be dissention amongest
the Equusearch Team? Or are
they just not on the same page?
I'm basically going by the C. Croes interview.
2:00 PACIFIC TIME.
