I would think that a good poker player understands risks and such, even in real life, and would avoid stabbing his parents in the neck, when he is such an obvious suspect?
Although, judging by the picture, he looks like a psycho killer. Glad I didn't draw out on him in some turnament... :O

what about innocent until proven guilty???
I read a lot of harsh comments here but nowhere in the article it says he is guilty. Is he just accused or is the trial over and he is guilty???
if anybody was a killer who looks like a psycho killer then we would have a lot of more psycho killers, such argument are b******t and make me feel sick

I thinkg that you are spending a lot of time watching CSI, Law & Order, The Mentalist and more police series where unhappy inoccent people are accused...
Joran v/d Sloot hase killed 1 girl in Peru, and also his the biggest suspect in the missing of Mathalee Holloway ( usa ). He needed cash cause this retard was also addicted to gambling ( online poker ). he cannot get dead penalty this pisses me off, i think this guy dosn`t deserve anything. A bullet is to expensive, so i see lets hang`em. ur nothing but a sad retarted no good for nothing shitface if you kill any1 for money. No 1 hase the right to take a life, and there must be some revenge for the family that lost a loved 1 that the didnt hade to be lost.
If he did it, he must pay it. Unfortunatelly if he had done that here in Spain, he would be in jail no mora than 15 years. Justice here is a joke. The only thing I like from USA is the dead penalty for people who really deserve it.

The word allegedly generally stands between any given news outlet and a large lawsuit...
And it's sad that people have such a strong opinion on his innocence or guilt based only on a horribly written, and therefore factually suspect, article. Looking into it more deeply, it sound likely that he is both guilty and incompetent, but still.

The best punishment for an "animal " like him,is first to spend 25 years ,23 hours and 50 minutes alone in a prisoncell,just 5 minutes fresh air,5 minutes to clean his sick HEAD,after10 years he's broken,then he will begging to put the injection in his body,not yet,lett him rot away,let him think that,everyday is his lastday for another 15 years or more,after that,let him think( for 2 weeks ) thathe won his appeal,and if they succeed that he thinks he won his appeal,then it's time for the death sentence,and not whit that injection,no put that MONSTER on the CHAIR, and give him the FULL MAX of POWER,untill the HEAD will EXPLODE !!! AND for WIEBEPOKER,Joran van der sloot,was reconized by another man in the casino in Peru where Joran,killed that girl,what i dont understand is the fact that the man who reconized Joran DIDN'T DO ANYTHING,He knew that he was a suspect in the case off Natalee Holloway,but he keeps his MOUTH SHUT,if he told it there to the SECURITY,I'LL BET that STEPHANIE FLORES WOULD BE ALIVE TODAY,But that man,didnt do NADA,NOTHING,But over 28 years ,he have to face to Court in USA so Joran,i hope you will enjoy it there,youre ASH,is their SAFE ,sleep well,ADIOS
