Joran Van der Sloot has been captured on video tape saying that he called a friend from a pay phone to take Holloway's body and dump it at sea. Joran's lawyers say at least two points of his client's story on the video could be disproved. One, the Aruban coast guard had checked the pay phone where van der Sloot said he had called his friend and no such call was made. Second, the friend whom Joran said he called in the video wasn't in Aruba in May 2005. The friend also never owned a boat according to Joran's attorney. Is the video just another example of a mixed up kid shooting off his mouth and telling tall tales? Who knows, but it may land him back in jail!Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-78982695159519615742007-12-20T14:46:00.000-06:002007-12-20T14:46:00.000-06:00So if she is never found, assuming he did it, does...So if she is never found, assuming he did it, does Peterson get away with murder?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-91345890170634205012007-12-20T08:09:00.000-06:002007-12-20T08:09:00.000-06:00Ron, the crime of murder has elements of proof whi...Ron, the crime of murder has elements of proof which vary slightly from state to state. Here in the U.S., while it is possible to try a case without a body, in order to have a decent chance of obtaining a conviction you either need eye witness testimony or some type of physical evidence. If you do not have physical evidence such as blood of the victim or eyewitness testimony as to the crime, it is difficult to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the victim is in fact dead. Without such proof, even if a jury convicts, an appellate court may over turn the conviction.<BR/><BR/>Make no mistake. In Peterson's case, the lack of eye witness testimony and any physical evidence has greatly hindered the prosecution.<BR/><BR/>Ms. C., you may be right. The boys may be only guilty of using bad judgment and not being consistent with their stories to the police.<BR/><BR/>Jill, if a body turns up any time soon, look for the case to be reopened.Legal Pubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03464130635305514783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-41014637688167149882007-12-20T07:36:00.000-06:002007-12-20T07:36:00.000-06:00Perhaps, like Peterson, the boys are not guilty!Perhaps, like Peterson, the boys are not guilty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-5349166157953843562007-12-19T21:49:00.000-06:002007-12-19T21:49:00.000-06:00You have to look at Dutch law, rather than the law...You have to look at Dutch law, rather than the laws of the US to evaluate the Holloway case.

I remember being convinced that Richard Jewel was involved in the Atlanta bombing and look what happened there. That poor guy went through hell and he was actually a hero (he saved a great deal more people from getting blown up). I hope the Holloway family finds resolution and that Natalee rests in peace, if she is no longer with us. I also feel for the parents of these 3 kids who have been dragged through the mud for several years. Maybe, just maybe, unfairly.Ms Calabazahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00054430444508465670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5166169592714997268.post-53584668122628274522007-12-19T08:58:00.000-06:002007-12-19T08:58:00.000-06:00Now I get why the body of Stacy is so important to...Now I get why the body of Stacy is so important to prosecutors.
