Birmingham, Al (WIAT) British bookies will sets odds an anything...including will Joran van der Sloot live to stand trial.
As van der Sloot sits in his cell in Peru's notorious Castro Castro prison he's waging a legal fight to get a confession thrown out...a confession in which he admitted to murdering 21 year old Peruvian student Stephany Flores and walked investigators through the grisly murder scene.
Will he win that fight...it's doubtful in they view of the British bookies.
Here's a sampling from the website
BookmakersInc The odds on an overdose are -130 and this doesn’t include suicide.
The odds on Van der Sloot being murdered are -147.
The odds on Van der Sloot committing suicide are -185.
The odds on Van der Sloot’s having an accident while evading authorities or shot by the police are +135.
And the odds on Van der Sloot dying of natural causes are +300.
There are odds that Van der Sloot doesn’t live to see his trial +175 and odds that he never talks at +800, most betting shops UK and betting sites don’t give him much of a future.
The long odds on him "ever talking" are particularly relevant to friends and family of Natalee Holloway. The Mountain Brook teenager disappeared on a graduation trip to Aruba. She was last seen in the company of van der Sloot. He's still considered the prime suspect in that case but has never been charged by Aruban authorities.
