Aruba judge to network: Don't show suspect An Aruban judge ordered NBC News not to broadcast footage from a tour of an Aruban jail that shows Natalee Holloway disappearance suspect Joran van der Sloot. The judge issued the order at the request of van der Sloot's attorney following a hearing Wednesday night.
NBC Video Inside Aruban Jail During the tour, reporter Michelle Kosinski came face to face with van der Sloot, and even talked to him on camera for several minutes. However, his attorneys took NBC to court in Aruba, where a judge ruled against NBC showing the pictures of the suspect, citing his right to privacy.

Lawyers: Aruban judge quashes taped interview with suspect
"We argued before the judge that what NBC did was totally unacceptable, totally unethical, totally unprofessional, and that that has nothing to do with journalism, but that the only aim of what NBC has done was to try to tarnish and further prejudice the good name of our client," lawyer Antony Carlo told reporters.
