Joran van der Sloot has certainly tested the scales of justice over the past five years. First as a primary suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway. In that case, van der Sloot even went so far as to confess, not once, but twice. But each time prosecutor's chose not to believe him, and let him go free. Was this an example of the justice system working for the accused, or it failing the victim? According to Blackstone's Formulation, it was justice at work for the accused.

"better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer"

But it could be that one innocent person did, in fact, suffer. On May 30th, 2010, Stephany Flores Ramirez, was found dead, presumed murdered. Joran van der Sloot is a prime suspect.

This guy is a pathological liar and a serial killer. He should fry or suffer the same fate as Natalie and this other young lady.

Chris: He may *wish* he was hung, if the dads were to get a hold of him... I'm a dad and if my daughter was hurt, there would be *nothing* that would stop me from seeking justice.

MyView, really ?

Refrain from confessing to murder and you'll have little to fret from this "jury".

"In that case, van der Sloot even went so far as to confess, not once, but twice. " .........

I hear you, Olbermansadink. I'm not saying I think he's innocent, I just haven't seen the proof he's guilty. There have been lots of attention seeking loons out there who confess just for the attention.

I haven't seen all the evidence in the Ramirez case.

I thought they had enough in the Holloway case.

I just pray for justice. The little punk makes my skin crawl.

(I will get out of jury duty if I see your name on the docket)

You might want to re-word your headline. Juries do not vote guilty or innocent - no accused is EVER found innocent, despite what the ignorant media prints. The vote is guilty or NOT guilty. NOT guilty is a far different verdict than "innocent."

Thanks for your comment, and you are correct in what you say about guilty and not guilty as it pertains to a trial. However, since Mr. van der Sloot has not been officially charged yet in either death, let alone begun to stand trial, I think I'll leave my headline as it is.

In our, and many other societys around the world, there is a presumption of innocence which follows an individual prior to any jury verdict.

Although the Constitution of the United States does not cite it explicitly, presumption of innocence is widely held to follow from the 5th, 6th, and 14th amendments.

    Regardless of what happened the case of Natalee Holloway, it doesn't look good for Joran in the case of Stephany Flores Ramirez. Clearly the judicial systems of Aruba vs. Peru are quite different. Maybe we will all learn something about the way our judicial system works here in the U.S. While I think Joran is guilty of both crimes, I would not want to be accused of a crime without a fighting chance if I were innocent.
