So Joran Van Der Sloot thinks he can tie Peru’s judicial system into knots. Good luck with that, kid.
Granted, they have made some progress in the last decade and a half. But it would be fair to say that their system works swiftly, and under Peruvian rules — not Dutch rules, and certainly not American rules. First off, they work under the Napoleonic Code, which does have “a de facto presumption of guilt.” And Heaven help him if somebody decides that what he did has even a whiff of terrorism! If that happens, he will wish for circumstances as nice as Gitmo.
He also seems to have forgotten that even if he gets off in Peru, there’s enough evidence now to extradite him back to Aruba.
So yeah, just keep talking. If he’s lucky he will give himself enough rope to be hung quickly.
