LIMA, Peru — Joran van der Sloot's lawyer says his client will plead guilty to killing a young Peruvian woman he met gambling but argue temporary insanity in a bid for a shorter sentence.

The attorney for Van der Sloot, who remains the key suspect in the 2005 disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway on the Caribbean island of Aruba, says his client will use the "violent emotion" defense in the Stephany Flores case.

Joran van der Sloot’s probably tired of getting it In der Chute!

In the legal profession we have a word for people who use the old temporary insanity defense - - “convicts”

Wouldn’t be surprised if he walks again. Such are the times we live in.

On the bright side, constipation is a thing of the past.

His arrogance/stupidity world tour was a a bust. Don't see him getting much sympathy as the woman he killed this time was the daughter of a popular Peruvian. Should have stuck to killing in Aruba.

How many episodes of “temporary” insanity can he claim?

Peruvians will be deciding the fate of this rich worthless scumbag who thought he could get away with anything. I wouldn’t give him much for his chances.

This is just a case of his lawyer throwing everything against the wall and hoping something will stick. This isn't going anywhere.

Except if somehow they can bribe the right people. That's a VERY big if. As has been said, the victim was the daughter of a popular Peruvian and Joran is a foreigner. My opinion is that he'll never see freedom again.

The dead young woman’s father is a former presidential candidate in Peru.

Van der Sloot is screwed. Couldn’t happen to a “nicer” guy.

As a mother, I can’t think of anything more horrific than what he’s done to several families.

Let him rot.

Hanging is the only just punishment for this...thing.

He has killed at least two young women, and shows no signs not only of remorse, but that he knows that he did wrong.
