WILL VIGILANTE JUSTICE COME FOR JORAN?
Is Joran wearing his famous blue plaid shirt again? (Source)--Aruba's chief prosecutor said he will close the case of missing American teenager Natalee Holloway by the end of the month unless his office finds that there is enough evidence to charge someone with a major crime. (How about lying to police? Disposing of a corpse? Is that not a major crime?)
The prosecutor, Hans Mos, said he would not comment about the kind of evidence his office is reviewing but that he does not anticipate finding Holloway's remains and prosecuting a case without them would be "very hard."
"We promised the suspects that after Dec. 31, we will not pursue the case," Mos told The Associated Press Friday. "This investigation should end at a certain point." (This case will NEVER end, Aruba! You can BET on that!) No one has been formally charged in the investigation, which critics have said was botched in its early stages by Aruban authorities.
...different judges ruled there was not enough evidence to keep holding them. (Which JUDGES? The same judges that resided over this case before? The corrupt ones? How about getting an entirely different panel of judges! And as far as I know, Rick Smid-the squid was the only one that made the decision. Correct me if I'm wrong...)
Mos told the AP he will drop the case unless prosecutors in his office agree before the New Year that they have strong enough evidence to go to court. (The claimed to have strong evidence before! They are talking out of their asses!)
He said he imposed the deadline himself earlier this year because he feels two years is a reasonable amount of time for bringing charges against someone. (There is no statute of limitations in a murder case! This case will NEVER go away, Aruba!!! You think your tourism has dropped now? JUST WAIT... We Americans don't forget!)
Mos said he and the Holloway family feel pursuing a minor charge "doesn't serve a purpose." A person convicted of making a body disappear, for example, would serve only six months in prison, he said. (In that case we would then KNOW who did it...that is all the family wants. ANSWERS!!! I highly doubt that Beth or Dave would say "doesn't serve a purpose." They just want to know what happened to their daughter!)
..."We have a strong conviction that something happened that night, and that it was a very serious thing," Mos said. "The question is whether we are able to prove it." He said he does not anticipate ever finding Holloway's remains. (We will see about that!)
"It's very hard to try a case without a body," he said. "It's not impossible, but you need substantial evidence that somebody was killed." (Then why did Dompig and others state that Natalee is dead? Remember Dompig? You stated that she died from an "overdose". We all know that if that is true, it wasn't from her own doing. She was drugged, and to me that is at least involuntary manslaughter, lying to police and disposal of a body!)
..."The Aruban prosecution is going around in circles," said Joseph Tacopina, one of van der Sloot's attorneys. "They've bumbled this case from the beginning." (Joe...let me tell you this. You have NO jurisdiction to discuss this case. You were Joran's CIVIL ATTORNEY in New York! You don't know the Aruban laws and you certainly don't have a right to practice there or even give advise! So do us all a favor and keep your PIE HOLE SHUT!)
Here’s the deal. YOU tell US who the ‘innocent’ Arubans are. That presupposes that you know who the guilty ones are, doesn’t it?
If so, you know more than the Aruban government knows. After two and a half years, they can’t find evidence to keep anyone in jail.
But Natalee vanished on Aruba, didn’t she? Do you have that down straight? She was taken away by three persons on Aruba, got it?
At this point, we don’t know how many Arubans might be involved, though it’s obvious that a hell of a lot more than three are responsible for the cover-up.
So that’s my advice. You find out who’s innocent, and we who are pushing the boycott will ask that nobody get angry at them.
But you can’t do it, can you?
So if the Aruban people won’t speak up and demand action … well, maybe it doesn’t sound nice …but I really don’t care what happens to them.
We owe Aruba NOTHING.
And it’s clear that Aruba can’t do justice in this case, or won’t.
So to hell with the place. Period.
Let Aruba look to someone else for its tourist money. It won’t get mine, and I’ll do everything that I can to encourage others to avoid the place.
And to let Aruba know WHY they won’t go there.
We’ve had success at this … in Boston, at King of Prussia, and (though I wasn’t there) in the other protests, passers-by went in and told the Aruba Tourist Authority people that they would never visit that place, and why.
So once again, the question isn’t whether we will press for a boycott. We HAVE been doing this, and even the Dutch admit that it has had an impact. Now it’s time to carry the campaign further.
The ball’s in your court, Aruba. You’ll keep the cover-up going? You won’t call back van der Straaten, Jacobs, Dompig, and the others and start an inquiry?
You won’t demand that an IMPARTIAL JUDGE take charge?
You won’t ask the US to send the FBI in?
You’ll continue to whine, whimper and say “Oh, there’s no evidence?”
Fine … GO TO HELL. And get there by starvation.
Because I for one am sick to death of your whining. Find someone else to feed you … because the Americans, who have taken a long time to wise up, finally are doing so.
