This article and also one more very similar was talking about Joran Van der Sloot.  He has been charged with the murder of a Peruvian woman.  He tried to flee the country in which those individuals who attepted to help him are also being punished.  The prosecutors are asking for him to seek a 30 year jail sentence for his crime.  Somet think 30 years is too long because he has not showed any more acts of violence.  The trial will be open to the public.  Van der Sloot was once a prime suspect in an investigation involving the 18 year also that was never seen again after her trip to Peru for her graduation trip.
