This won’t bring the Holloway girl back to her parents but I hope they can take some (although a tiny bit) of comfort knowing he will be locked up.

Guess since he got away with murder (Natalie Holloway) he tried it again. Who knows how many women he’s murdered.

I read on the Yahoo site that the defense wants 5 years, the prosecution wants 30. Oh and get this... his attorney said he was “stressed” due to the Holloway bad press he received. Poor little victim.

BINGO!!!!!

No doubt he is a SERIAL killer. Use “iceberg” analogy with him. 10% can be seen, 90% is hidden. More victims for sure.

It doesn’t say anything in the article about why he decided to plead guilty.
However, if I had to venture a guess, I’d say that his attorney told him that the evidence against him was sure to get him convicted. So he pleads guilty and hopes to get a lessor sentence.

I have to admit I’ve taken pleasure from pictures of his cell. So small that the head of his bed is inches from his foul, stained toilet.

What you are implying is doing Massachusetts a BIG DISSERVICE! Now apologize!!

Everyone knows, now, that this plea DOES NOT allow him to run for one of those run-of-the-mill MA offices, like State Rep, or State Sinator... or even a Selectman or Alderman. Sloot can ONLY run for US Senator from MA or, perhaps, Governor!!!

He's a Ted Bundy type. He'll be a danger until he's dead.

Haley Barbour would like him a lot. Maybe even hire him for work in his house.

I don't know what he gets, but if Punxsutawney van der Sloot pleads innocent, we get six more weeks of Nancy Grace.

Maybe six months.
