Wedding Bells for Joran Van der Sloot?
When Van der Sloot was first apprehended in Peru, the HLN talking heads explained how terrible the prison conditions are there, how miserable he would be, how the Peruvians don't mess around and it would be extra hard on him since he killed one of their own who was the daughter of a prominent businessman, how he would finally be getting what he deserved, etc...
A year and a half later, he's been sentenced to only 28 years for killing Stephany Flores, he's eligible for parole in 7.5 years, he's reportedly learning Spanish and getting along quite well in his new lodging, his girlfriend comes to visit frequently, and he's just filed a petition to be married. I don't know if he'd be eligible for conjugal visits if he's allowed to marry; probably. Un-'effin-believable.

The lovely couple
His lawyer is so full of shit.
Snip:
On Wednesday, Van der Sloot's lawyer, Maximo Altez, filed a motion to reduce his client's sentence, claiming Van der Sloot worked with authorities during the investigation and that his rights were violated by police during his arrest.
Altez said Van der Sloot has asked prison authorities for permission to marry behind bars.
"He is a person who has changed ... he wants to rebuild his life, wants to be a new person," said Altez.
The lawyer said that the Supreme Court will rule on Van der Sloot's marriage request in about 10 days and if he is granted permission to wed, the ceremony could take place 15 days from now.
While Altez would not disclose the name of the bride, he said of Van der Sloot, "He wants to marry, change his life, start a new life."
According to reports, Van der Sloot's fiancée is a Peruvian woman named Leydi Figueroa Uceda who visits him in jail often. Altez denies speculation that Uceda had a son with Van der Sloot.
