LOVE IT!!! LMFAOOOOOoooooooo

Perfect! He was lead to think that he would get a lighter sentence if he didn't go to trail. I guess he got two years shaved off the original asking sentence.

bwahaha, could not happen to a better person.

he can be released in 14 yrs thats hardly something to celebrate he admited to strangling and robbing a young girl in my opinion the sentence no where near matches the crime.....but hey thats the law of peru..who am i to question another country's laws

you are Bob. And you may question another country's laws. It is allowed.

Oye Nino. Tu tienes una bonita boca.

YeeeHaaa! If and when you get out, may you never have the strength to hurt another person again.

Good riddance.

That is so cool! I can't wait until he gets put in general population, I have a feeling his sentance will be shortened by days....... :)

14 years is still awhile in a prison that is not in his home.

I am relieved to see that the Peruvian judges did not by his belated "sincere" confession of guilt and give him a lighter sentence. Had they bought into his act, he could have received as little as 8 years. Thankfully, they saw right through him and recognized him for the true piece of human refuse that he really is. I just wish that the Dutch authorities had not been so inept and that they had been able to get him for Holloway's murder as well. Maybe they will at least extradite him to face the extortion charges for his stunt of trying to extort money from the Holloway family in return for leading them the Natalie's remains. If there is any justice, this PoS will never again see day light again other than through the bars of a prison. Unfortunately, that is not likely to happen and he will likely be free to kill again in 15 years or so. I do not think there is anyone with a brain who does not think that he will kill again once he is freed. There is something very seriously wrong with this worthless piece of garbage.

Wow, Peru is wussier than the bleeding hearts in the US! 28 years for murder?? How about a nice noose or injectiion?!

Finally , a little justice......

28 years is too little time for this psychopath.

I wonder when will Aruba's sham courts appeal Van der Sloot's conviction...

@ The Breeze. Are you implying that Homosexuals use sodomy as a form of punishment or could it be they are fully aroused by men any ways? How is forced sodomy justice in your mind?

good! hope he enjoys his visit in Peru!

only a little justice - hopefully real justice will be administered by his fellow citizens of confinement. Not too swiftly though. Unfortunately no matter the outcome there will be little solace to the family that lost their daughter(s).

Unbelievable.....Pay $75,000. reparation....and spend 15 years in a Peruvian Club Fed.....and you can just "off" somebody for looking at your laptop, and claim mental stress from being a suspect in another womans murder. I guess that's not to bad considering O.J. did it and spent zero time in prison for the same charge right here in the good ole USofA. It must be really something to have enough money to play God, and then have enough left to hire a dream team to get you off lite because of having a "god complex." Strange world.

28 years is a disgustingly light sentence for a crime like this, but I am glad to see that his ploy to plead guilty for a lesser sentence only got him two years shaved off the maximum.

He's not going to be released early he already was in a few fights in Peru prison system, no way he will be able to behave (and live) to get out early there!

I knew they were treating him like the 'celebrity cash cow' he is. Hope he gets into the prison population, but doubt it because his soft treatment will continue. But where is all this money coming from on his books? Whoever wants to cash-in on the loser will need to wait at least 14 years...with good behavior...but how could he fail--being all protected in jail and such... And thanks for hiding the part of the story (his jail perks), with some timeline photos, msnbc!

If the trial of Van der Sloot took place in the USA, he would be set free. (Casey Anthony, OJ at the time, etc.)

When it comes to Murderers in the US, the Justice System should take a look at this one--

Peru, "don't cry for me"; oh, that was Eva Peron in Argentina. Van der Sloot might just commit the ultimate act. He's a party guy, and they don't have Casinos in Jail.

Natalie's mother/Peruvian Government official (daughter murdered) must feel justice has been served. Good news.

NTR - Joran's father passed away and I believe his mother has cut ties with him. I doubt that there is any more family influence there for him. On the other hand, Ms. Flores's family is very influential and well liked in Peru. Once all of the dust settles, I'm betting on an "accident" or some other event to end this tragic saga.

His "judge dad died" Tampa Resident, likely brought on by the stress of his sons actions. His mother's life is destroyed too. No joy there. Imagine if you or I faced that prospect having a psychopath as a child.

@TammyB-3941104......First of all the scum in prison that have their way with the rear ends of other men aren't typically homosexuals, they just gratify themselves because there is no women there for the taking! The ones who usually come out homosexuals are the ones who are the abused unfortunately and it's because they are to weak to protect themselves from the VERMIN who prey on them! You are right also, there is no justice in doing this to anyone who goes to prison as it is not up to the prison population to punish other inmates but up to the prison system who put them away! But if the United States cannot protect prisoners here in the facilities that we have i don't know how you think the systems of these VERY PRIMITIVE third world countries can stop it, it is my opinion that they could care less about what happens to anyone who winds up in their prisons anyway! If you cannot stop it yourself then your doomed to whatever these majority of sick people wish to do to whomever they wish to do it! IT'S A MAD WORLD OUT THERE AND GOD HAS TO BE SICK OF WHAT IS TAKING PLACE, I tell my Mother all the time that "The end of the world wouldn't be the worst thing that could happen to us that live in it with all of the horrific sin and things that people involve themselves in each and EVERYDAY starting with a VERY SICK MINDED INDIVIDUAL SUCH AS THIS VERY DEMENTED DEVIL named Van der Sloot"!!!

good, take away his YOUTH !!!..ohhh wait, there are a Lot of Crazy Wicked old men Out there also..........

JimmieGreens, good one!

Toothless Man: [grinning] He got a real pretty mouth ain't he?

Peru is a very primitive third world country? Are you sure about that?

What you all (most of you) fail to realize is that he won't spend a day in general population, just as I have been saying since he plead guilty two days ago. He will be far better off than any prisoner even here in the States. He has people sending him money, which buys him A LOT in there. He's a punk, but has gotten off way too easily. You all just hope he will get his, which he won't for quite awhile, but eventually he will. and it won't come from Peru.

anyone who knows about the Peru prisons, will know that he has very little chance to survive 14 years in that system, for all praticial purpose this is a death sentence.

If there's any justice in the universe, this entitled little sociopath won't live to see his release date - be it in 14 or 28 years.

Some of the comments on here sure prove that some of you either can't read, can't retain what you read, or you just didn't bother to read it at all. Wow!

Wow.

Not fair.

What a sorry excuse for a human being! I hope he never makes it out of prison!

When he gets out of prison in 14 years, I hope the US Courts have his extradition papers in place so we can try him for Natalie Holloway's murder. As far as I'm concerned, this guy WILL spend the rest of his life in either prison or court. There is justice in this world.

Wish he would just fess up about Natalee..If I were Natalee's Mother" Now's your chance" travel to Peru and get on the inside with this prison..Money will make him talk !

NewTampaResident: If I remember correctly, his father passed away a couple of years ago from the stress that his son has caused him....I could be wrong, but I know ONE of his parents died recently.

The Judge is dead ! Whether he played a part in the disappearance of Natalee or he just covered for his Kid..Many unanswered Questions still remain.

Like Jon Bonbenet Ramsey this case bugs me like none other..

This dangerous psycopath should never spend another free day in his life.

Live&LetLive, I think if Van der Sloot had been of the same mind as you in the first place,(that is, to Live&Let Live), we wouldn't be having this discussion at all....ja think?

Most parents of Psychopaths do not recognize the signs of the disease, or are in Denial.

If it were my kid, and sincerely mean it; I would turn him in, or ask the that he be put in a Mental Institution if he is a Psychopath or Sociopath. There are always warning signs, unless this "Kid" lives away from home.

It reminds me, when a dog continually bites people; or mauls them are you going to keep that dog"?

A responsible owner gets rid of the dog.

28 years? About 28 years too little. Hopefully the asswipe has to serve every day of it.

Do doubt he will drop the soap multiple times in 14 years... I know I've dropped my soap 4 times in just this past week, but I do not have anyone sharing my shower with me

The conviction is something, but not enough. With good behavior he can get out in 14 years and a restitution of $75,000 - is that all a human life is worth. At his young age, in 14 years he will be a free man - with his temper and lack of regard for human life, he will still be a threat to society. He seems to be a compulsive liar, but so many times he alluded to being involved in other activities such as human trafficking, he was attempting at the time of this murder to extort money from the Holloway family, and while many of us believe he killed Natalee (or the very least took advantage of a young girl in an intoxicated state), he admitted to killing this young woman. This is not the kind of person who should be released. He is a threat and remains a threat. He has shown no remorse for any of his actions. The punishment does not fit the crime. I think it was much more lenient than he deserved.

With the money and influence the girls family have, I doubt if he will ever see his release date. Death by buggary.

saxon

anyone who knows about the Peru prisons, will know that he has very little chance to survive 14 years in that system, for all praticial purpose this is a death sentence.

If that's true...it will be his just reward.

Well, strictly speaking, 28 IS less than 30. Heh.

Haha... Jemma's bad at math.

Jemma77, didn't you know it was a (3) three woman judge panel that ruled on his sentence.

His defense attorney was whining about that last week.

Toooo bad, they got him good.

Bad at math? He was hoping for as little as one to five years. He got 28 out of the 30 max and saved them the trouble of a trial.

NewTampaResident, I'm hoping the Peru girl's family takes care of him on his 28th year. The money he was gambling with came from Natalee Holloway's mother after he told her to pay him to tell her where Natalee's body was. And he's on video pretending to be locked out of the hotel room with two coffees - Van der Sloot was so busted.

Um...for those of you that didn't bother to read the article, his sentence was 28 years because the judge ordered 'time server' for the other 2. Meaning, he has served at least 2 years in jail already thus reducing the sentence to only 28. In actuality, he is still getting 30 years (unless he is released early on good behavior and work...god forbid).

time served**

He got 30 years, but they shaved off 2 years for time served = 28 years.

He was a gambler. He played the odds of accepting a lesser sentence for a guilty plea. Looks like the "payout" was only 30 years.

I think some might say that O.J. Simpson beat the odds too....but did he really? Look at his life now....he beat a murder rap, but is now, to the greater degree, despised by America.

"Um...for those of you that didn't bother to read the article, his sentence was 28 years because the judge ordered 'time server' for the other 2.

Uh,..for those too stupid to do math, 2038 is 28 years from 2010, when he was arrested, not 28 years from 2012. So no, half-wit, he was actually sentenced to 28 years, 1.5 of which have been served, leaving 26.5 to be served.

Got it dummies?

Do the math, everyone! His sentence was 28 years, minus 2 for time served thus resulting in the end sentence time of 2038 (26 year difference). He was granted 2 years off the ultimate sentence for pleading guilty to the crime. He will be eligible for release in 14 years with good behaviour and study.

Pull your heads out and DO THE MATH AFTER YOU READ THE ARTICLE

This "boy" is a bona fide serial killer. Good thing Peru slammed the book down on him, because he will surely kill again.

just a POS. He's committed other crimes against women in Thailand and who knows where else. He's where he needs to be. Once the spotlight is off him, betting things will change for him as far as how they've treated him since he's infamous on an international level.

28 years? He could get out in half that time with good behavior. If America can not extradite him after that sentence, he will kill again.

@1ad-1602146.......SLAMMED THE BOOK AT HIM? THIS SCUM DESERVES THE SAME FATE AS HIS VICTIMS! The 28 years and then the time that he will surely get shaved off will be "NOTHING CLOSE TO JUSTICE FOR THIS TRUE PSYCHOPATHIC KILLER"......Now i know that other country's laws prevent and allow certain things in the way of what they feel is punishment for the crime but if this had been an American male who killed a Peruvian girl, "THEIR PUNISHMENT WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN NOTHING SHORT OF DEATH"!!! In which would be just for any killing from anyone no matter where they were from, and that's surely what Vander Scum certainly deserves because when he is released "HE WILL DEFINATELY KILL AGAIN AS HE IS WITH NO DOUBT A DEMENTED SERIAL KILLER"...........GOD BE WITH ALL THE FAMILIES OF HIS INNOCENT VICTIMS!!!!

His name, "van der Sloot", means "from the ditch" in Dutch. "Joran from the Ditch". What can you make of that?

Good one Mickey. He is certainly in the ditch now..where he belongs. I cry just thinking about how those two girls must have suffered. My Doberman has more compassion and sense. This miscreant, scourge on humanity needs to be kept in a bamboo cage partially submerged in water. God Forgive me, but he should spend every moment of his miserable existance in the abject misery he caused two beautiful young girls. Give him to the Vietnamese. They would know what to do... And this one actually earned it.

No, they don't. I also don't think their parole system works quite like ours - he may actually serve most/all of that 28 years.

234r, that is not true. He will get 1 day off his sentence in prison for every 2 days of good behavior.

In addition to this light sentence for killing the girl in Peru (and no doubt Natalie Holloway), he will have a flat screen TV, a laptop, BlueRay, and money. He will make pottery and other type of recreational past-times. Beth Carus has been to Castro-Castro Prison and it's, "almost like a resort setting, only with bars". How sad for the murdered girl's parents that their daughter is dead, her life taken from her, and Joran will virtually live without any penal punishment.

I watched this on Court TV and I have one question: Does Joran have head lice or what? He constantly is scratching his face, hair, neck, etc.

I got the feeling at the end when his sentence was announced that he got visibly mad. He'll get out in June 2038, but with 1 day for every 2 days good behavior, he'll be out in probably 15 yrs. For the killing of a defenseless college girl with her whole life ahead of her, to only serve this length of time with all the ammenities afforded him in prison, I feel the justice system is coddlinng this piece of trash!

Follow up on that parole comment I made: the nearest case in terms of a foreign national receiving a lengthy sentence is Lori Berenson, which is a VERY interesting story in its own right. Eventually, she served 15 years of a 20 year sentence, was paroled for 3 months before an appeals court ordered her re-arrested to serve the rest of her sentence, then re-released after another 3 months. While on parole, she must remain in Peru until 2015.

IF he is ever paroled, he will still be stuck in Peru.

The article stated under Peruvian law he could be eligible for parole after serving half of his sentence for good behavior and study'' so it is not unlike American law

Too bad he didn't do this in Texas. This clown is a Serial Killer and a Serial Liar. Hopefully someone in the Peruvian Prison will get Religion and off this POS>

No, but South American Prisons are not like our luxury ones. He will do hard time, and be assured he will not be "virgin" for long. Also, with the power the girl's has, most likely he will never get out standing up.

Youtube has video of Jean Casarez with CNN/TruTV touring Castro-Castro and Joran's solitary confinement cell. No windows, 4 bare wall and metal door - no bars facing the walkway. Did have some civvy clothes, toiletries, flip-flops,and reading material but not much else.

No flat screen, no laptop, no Blu-Ray to be seen. Didn't look Gitmo-level horrible, but he ain't going to be having fun and I doubt he'll ever get stuck in general pop unless they want someone to shiv him.

The girl has no power. She's dead.

Peruvian prisons (I lived in Peru for 2 years) are run by corrupt officials and guards. They are paid so little money that if his family pays the guards more than their monthly salary, he will get very good treatment. Since he will be their golden goose, they will also protect him more than your average prisoner.

I am in no way taking up for Vandersloot but these girls who try to hit on guys that they don't know anything about need to heed on the side of caution and especially in a foreign country.....many years ago I toured Europe and a girl in the group did the same thing and wandered off with a guy from one of the countries we were in....I was in my late teens then and now I'm much older but still remember the whole scenario like it was yesterday....Her parents were called and flew to Europe and picked her up....but not everybody is that lucky....So please girls....if your fortunate enough to be able to go to a foreign country.....please be safe and don't go off with someone you know nothing about and always go in groups of 2 or more for safety purposes....it could mean the difference between life and death!!!

How about the girl's family? They have money too. The guards can make out like bandits. Get paid by Joran's family to keep him alive and by Stephany's parents to keep him begging for death.

Yes cpb, I read that in the article. Too bad Daddy is a rich man, and you are right, he will be protected with money. Probably very little money will do since Peru is a poor country, But at least his evil is off the streets. And he truly is an evil person.

Van Der Sloots father is dead which I forgot about. Does anyone think his mother would make arrangements with the guards ?? I have my doubts. And yes the Flores family is very rich also. We shall have to see what happens to poor Joran.

I would love to think the Flores family will make his life very very dirfficult on the inside. Perhaps the Aruban Authorities within that time would have fligured out the Halloway case and dear ole Joran could be in for a double header serviing time for both dead girls. After that, he can answer for the extortion charges. All tolled he should be quite busy for the next 60-80 years or so.

Then justice would have been served.

Joran has been living the good life in prison. He isn't suffering at all... He has beaten the system once again. He will be out when he is a fairly young man.

For those of you who comment about Joran's family helping him out....his father passed away several years ago from the stress of his son's actions; and his mother has totally disowned him. So, not sure where the money is coming from, but it certainly isn't coming from his parents or family. I know there are some sick people in the world that tend to look at prisoners as "idols" and send them money or even offer marriage!! Maybe one of these are paying his way, but that could certainly get old after awhile.

Let's see.........should we take some money one time from her family and give him vigilante justice, or take money from him, over and over, year after year to protect him from general population? Hmmm, gee now put yourself in the shoes of a poor Peruvian prison guard or official. What do think is going to happen. Thanks Meetwo, finally somebody with some common sense.

He has people sending him money from all over the world, birds of a feather I might add. There are more sick individuals out there besides Casey Anthony and Joran Vander @!$%#.

And thanks to those that actually read the article and could retain it for more than ten minutes.

Easy there, Live&LetLive, I think we're all on the same page about this, aren't we?

Hi Casey!

Seems to me this malcontent has had continued and unrelenting assistance and has been enabled by a few individuals over the years who (apparently) have either had eyes wide shut, or are deluded. His family have known all along, he is guilty of Natalie Halloway's death, and who knows what other crimes. The fact that he had these years of freedom is on THEM. Hard to fathom that someone..any one.. within his 'inner circle' would just continue to assist him with travel, living expenses, legal teams, and the ability to flee so easily..knowing he is guilty is mind boggling.

I'm sure they had to have been questioned. Why is it that they aren't in trouble for obstruction of justice, harboring a fugitive, etc..? I personally have to look at the parents who raised this man for much of this..including the crimes themselves.

sorry..just a short PS;

I'm not trying to say he isn't 100% responsible, but why is it that the people who continued to assist him for these years are not being held accountable? Those brothers, for instance?

He will be out in 14-15 years and if clowns don't make him crazier than he already is justice will have been served.

Idaho, you have to be kidding. You call 14-15 years justice for killing that young lady. What if it was your daughter? You are just another bleeding heart liberal.

It's hard to put a price on the precious life of a daughter....but I think 14-15 years is giving Van der Sloot quite a bargain......he's in effect getting 2 for the price of 1!

Doesn't matter. All he has to do is bribe someone $10 a month and he'll get treated like a king. The whole Peruvian system is incredibly corrupt that way. I lived there for 6 years and it made me sick.

JC.. After hearing about how influential HER parents were, plus public concent, I am SURE more money per month could be raised to 1) keep Joran ALIVE and 2) make sure each day is worse than the last. AND...still keep the $10 bribe.

They don't have the formal death penalty for violent crimes, but they do "disappear" political prisoners down there.

Their version of the death penalty is called 'General Population'. Hopefully the general will administer the corporal before enacting the capitol.

"I don't know if they do that like in the U.S."

Well it might help to read the article then, wouldn't it?

They should slit his bag== & stick his leg through it. Let him come to our country I'd like to kill the girl killer myself

I share your satisfaction at the prospect of him finally getting justice, but I can only hope you're not as bigoted as that remark implies. Watch out for those glass walls.

They may need more than that. VDS is a big ol' boy at 6'-4".

That's what they make shanks for.

Oh my gosh.....your comments make it hard to tell the good guys from the bad!

LOL! Just make sure he does not get hooked up with Casey Anthony!

Al-584293: LMAO - In that case I'll be on the next shuttle to Mars.

They deserve each other ! They're both sick.

Hell yea! I like that idea! Get 'em boyz!

He's a celebrity in that prison. Nothing will happen to him unless he ends up somehow in an Alabama prison for the extortion charges against the Holloway family. He may commit suicide at some point just on the hoplelessness of being stuck there particularly if parole never becomes an attainable option.

It's actually a 28 year sentence with time served. The Peruvians retro'd his sentence to his arrest or initial confession. So he's served like a year and a half already and he's living better than the majority of Peruvians like it is. And we'll all hear from him every six months or so over some crazy crap he's cooked up.

Worst part of all is nothing can ever bring those girls back. Thank You Peru for holding onto him. I pray for his mother who I am sure is both mortified and heartsick. I can not imagine what it must feel like to raise a son to watch him become a sociopathic killer..Mr. Van der Sloot died from the grief. The Holloways are fractured forever and the Peruvian girls parents are equally shattered. This monster, has ruined numerous lives. I sincerely hope he is not treated like a celebrity and is kept in misery for the rest of his natural life. He should be forgotten by the world. Release Lori Berenson. She has done nothing even approaching the horrific nature of van der @!$%#.

Unfortunately, he will use her until all her money is gone and move on to another "soul-mate".

I hear ya!!! I saw her interview. She too is definitely a nut job.

He spent 2 years in prison. With the 28 years his been sentence with, hell be out after 30 years of been in prison in general. He is now serving it concurrently.

Lady DynaRider1....your language tells me that you are no LADY.....please refrain from using crude language unless you are on a forum with only your freinds.....everbody doesn't talk like that....

debbie-2872860......you need to go to the EWTN blog and hang out there

Lady,

Your language is fine because you are passionate about your post.

Debbies needs to get the stick out of her *ss.

Debbie, quick!---get back! The social swill is floating to the top!! It's been my experience that the longer these blogs go on, the more vicious the contributors get.....until you can't even tell the difference between the good guys and the bad!

Hi Casey!

Debbie, there are no dirty words, just dirty filthy teatarded repubes

In some ways I think that's a great way to end his messed up life, but at the same time......it would really suck for the Holloways. If this loser killed that girl, or sold her off as a sex slave, I would hope that he would come clean before he gets killed. Why do you think he hasn't admitted to it yet? I think he did it, but I don't know why he hasn't admitted to it like he admitted to this one.

Why do you think he hasn't admitted to it yet?

My own personal theory (which is probably utterly wrong) is sheer bloody-mindedness on his part. He's already tried to extort money from the Holloways in exchange for the location of their daughter's body. And he's holding out for life after Peruvian prison (parole, escape, higher court overturning the verdict, etc.) in the hope that the Holloways will eventually knuckle under and pay him.

Having said that, I really do not believe that Natalee Holloway's remains will ever be found because they were excreted by sharks and other sea life long ago.

RE: message #21.1, by Nikki

Why do you think he hasn't admitted to it yet?

Ummm... because... If he were to admit to being involved in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway he would be held accountable for it.

I don't know why he hasn't admitted to it like he admitted to this one.

In the case of Natalee Holloway, no body has been found.

In the case of Stephany Flores, Joran van der Sloot was caught about as close to 'red-handed' as possible - there was a body, video tape, etc...

Why would ANYONE risk being held accountable for the other crimes they had commited, just because they could not avoid being prosecuted and punished for one crime - especially when one or more of the other crimes could lead to a MUCH harsher penalty.

@ STH

That's what I hear from Brazil

Nice Mullet

Hopefully, some enterprising Peruvian Inmate can gain favor from both the Flores and Holloways by BEATING this PoS UNTIL the information on Natalie's murder and where-abouts flows out from him as easily as his blood. Nothing can make up for the loss these families have suffered, but SOMEONE has to wipe that smirk off his face, preferrably with a few layers of tissue.

Beat a confession out of him, huh? I believe he's guilty as sin, but that sounds very similar to the Spanish Inquisition, doesn't it? I'm so glad those days of the dark ages are gone.....please don't bring them back!

Slowly I hope.

That seems fair enough to me. But, I think the dollars to "exchange hands" will have more to do with that than justice.
