Paul Van Der Sloot Is A Creep
The father of a Dutch teenager arrested in the disappearance of a young U.S. woman told his son and his two friends that ”when there is no body, you don’t have a case,” Aruba’s attorney general said Wednesday.
Paul van der Sloot, a judge in training in Aruba, gave his 17-year-old son Joran van der Sloot and two Surinamese brothers legal advice the day after 18-year-old Natalee Holloway disappeared, District Attorney Caren Janssen said.
”They spoke about the situation that when there is no body, you don’t have a case, and that was already in the first day after the disappearance,” Janssen said.
Janssen said the elder van der Sloot had obstructed the investigation by asking a friend of Joran, who had been interrogated by police, what he had told them.
Nice judicial material, isn’t he? It’s time they dropped the act and told authorities where Natalee is.

Hey, if there’s one good thin Hey, if there’s one good thing to come out of the Natalee Holloway case, at least now the liberals will have someone to put forth as their pick for their Supreme Court Justice nominee - Van Der Sloot is right up their alley!
Isn’t it time that the Arubia Isn’t it time that the Arubian Attorney General put up or shut up? Instead of the AG showing her full case she would rather sully the jury pool and put unnessecary pressure on the defendant’s family by bringing ridiculous charges and taking statments out of context. Why is it strange that a lawyer and judicial official would state an obvious legal fact? It is very difficult and maybe impossible under arubian law to prove murder without a body. Why do you think it is wrong to say this to three kids who have just been questioned by police being the people known to see the alleged victim alive? Wouldn’t it make sense that they may think they are suspects? Wouldn’t knowing a case is hard to prove put them at ease? Oh yeah and by the way, it is very acceptable investigative techniques to ask a witness what the other side wanted to know and what the witness said to them. Police and prosecutors do it to, they just don’t get arrested for it. (Oh yeah that’s cause they are the only ones with the power to arrest…)
I don’t know if Vander Sloot and company are guilty or innocent. It seems that the AG in Aruba has no real idea either. Hunches aren’t proof and circumastantial evidence is insufficient to equal proof beyond a reasonable doubt unless there is no other conclusion that can be drawn from the circumstances alleged. So it seems she’s got nothing… so far.
Here is a concept for us all to think about. Rushing to judgment ala Richard Jewel is a waste of time and police resources. IF a prosecutor’s case is so weak that the prosecutor has to hope to rally public support behind her arrest with this type of leaking of information then maybe she needs to step aside and let someone who wants to find this missing teenager and then if there is wrong doing prosecute it do so. Trying to win your case in a contest for public opinion shows weakness and is without a doubt against any principal of justice and fair play.
