Peruvian Murder Trial for van der Sloot Set for January
CNN ^ | November 25, 2011

Posted on 11/25/2011 8:49:17 PM PST by nickcarraway

Joran van der Sloot will stand trial beginning January 6 on robbery and murder charges related to a 21-year-old woman's death, a Peruvian court announced Friday.

The timetable from the Superior Court of Lima came days after a panel of judges ruled against having the Dutch national face an even more stringent slate of charges, as the victim's family members had requested. Instead, he will face the original charges levied against him -- which, if he is convicted on all counts, could lead to a maximum sentence of 30 years in prison.

Van der Sloot is accused of killing Stephany Flores in his Lima hotel room last year. Police say he took money and bank cards from her wallet and fled to Chile, where he was arrested a few days later.

He was charged in September with "qualified murder" and simple robbery, which carry sentences of 28 years and two years, respectively.

The victim's family asked a three-judge panel for a charge akin to aggravated murder, which carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

“i am amazed he’s still sucking air... “

Me too. In most countries, people get really, really, upset when a foreigner comes in kills a citizen. Of course here (particularly in Texas) we give the foreigners like that subsidized college education and make sure sure the police aren’t able to track them down.

So far, every country makes American prisons look like a Club Med.

Try to stay on subject. This thread isn’t about Perry or Humpin’ Herman.

I didn’t mention Perry or Herman (other than my tag line). I just wanted Jordan to know that some states welcome Illegals, and Texas is one of them.
