Micropenised murder suspect Joran van der Sloot now says he was “tricked” into confessing to the murder of Peruvian lesbian Stephany Flores Ramirez. According to Sloot, he signed everything in a blind panic because Peruvian police told him if he signed the papers they gave him they’d transfer him to the Netherlands. And we might believe Sloot were it not for three suspicious pre-conditions.
1. His own mother thinks he’s mentally unstable: Anita van der Sloot told the Dutch magazine De Telegraaf her son went to Peru to escape having to enter the high security section of a psychiatric hospital. She spoke with her son before and after Ramirez’s murder and says he sounded paranoid both times, adding that someone was following him. She stopped short of claiming her son’s innocence, which confirms she’s at least suspects he’s capable of murder. And while a mother’s opinion and silence don’t prove anything, they certainly raise an eyebrow.
2. He was already arrested twice over the disappearance of Natalee Holloway: You’d think that a guy who’d been twice arrested for the 2005 disappearance of an Alabama teen in Aruba would know better than to blindly sign documents while being interrogated for murder. Van der Sloot’s attorney Maximo Altez says his client will make a statement in court on how his rights were violated during the investigation, but so far no claims of coercion have been made against the Peruvian police.
3. The transcript of his confession offers specifics of the murder and contradicts his earlier alibi: CNN has a transcript of Van der Sloot’s confession, and while it’s entirely possible crooked Peruvian cops fabricated and leaked it to the press, it’s a stretch, especially since he has yet to refute the grisly details contained in the transcript:

Van der Sloot told authorities he attacked Flores on May 30 after she read an e-mail on his computer connected with the Holloway case. In the transcript, van der Sloot said that after Flores read the e-mail, she punched him in the face.
“At that moment impulsively, with my right elbow I hit her in the face exactly on top of the nose. I think she started to faint. It affected me so that I grabbed her from the neck and strangled her for a minute. There was blood everywhere. [I thought] ‘What am I going to do now?‘ I had blood on my shirt. There was also blood on the bed, so, I took my shirt and put it on her face, pressing hard, until I killed Stephany. After I responded with hitting her, I feared that she would go to the police and they would detain me for what was an impulsive act. I think I wanted to kill her because I wasn’t thinking.”
And then there’s all the security footage of him arriving to and leaving from the hotel.
It’s quite a different story from his initial claim that robbers had killed Ramirez. But if there’s one thing we can be absolutely certain of about this guy, it’s that he’s screwed in the head, and will say anything to escape responsibility.

I am fairly certain that Joran Van Tinydick would have done anything to make sure he would be handed off to the Aruban authoritites and therefore its doubtful he would have knowingly admitted to the murder in Peru. He played the Aruban system for 5 years and am sure he knew getting tried and convicted in Peru would be a death sentence. He knew holding out the carrot of the location of Holloways body would be the best chance of getting out of Peru and would have attempted to work any deal to include that. Based on what has been revealed about the crime he is screwed. He may be a maniac but he seems clever enough to have stayed out of jail for all that time, don’t think he would have given up the remote chance of getting out of Peru so readily……..

His other attorney quit also. Sounds like Joran said he wanted to claim that he was tricked and that his attorney quit rather than lie to the court.

@PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS: There are certain immutable characteristics all humans have. Their race. Their eye and hair color. Their sexuality. And – laugh all you want – the size and shape of their genitalia.
While I’m no defender of van der Sloot – the monster deserves to be locked away for good this time – casually throwing out the purported size of the man’s reproductive organs as an insult is a crass maneuver, at best.
Having a penis that is on the lower-end of or even below the “average” spectrum shouldn’t be treated as just another tick in the box of things that make someone a bad person, as just another thing to insult. I’m an average guy and get no complaints, but I would hate to think that my worth as a human being is somehow dependent, in whole or part, on how hung – or not – I may be.
Otherwise, I agree with the rest of your statement.

Joran plans to switch clothes with his mother and walk out of prison.

Let’s see. The article QUEERTY linked to claimed Joran van der Sloot said “In my blind panic I signed everything, but never knew what was written on them.”
Credible? Well there’s http://www.hrw.org/en/node/87529 (the Human Rights Watch report on Peru), which includes the statement, “Torture and ill-treatment of criminal suspects are chronic problems.” “Blind panic” sounds plausible given a culture where the behavior of the police led to the following report:

When the police abuse prisoners, even if a guilty guy confesses, you can’t trust the confession – you have no way of knowing what went on behind closed doors, and it can be bad enough to get innocent guys to confess as well.

Castro is the right jail for this lost nobody. Peru can handle him.
