Oh geez. Baez defending another killer whose story makes absolutely no sense, imo. Anyone looking to get off with the deflecting bullshit defense should write down Jose's number.

very similar to case in post #1. i remember this one. and believe 100% this bastard killed her. what a damn dirty shame. SCUBA seems to be the ideal way to murder someone. very hard to prove, except by expert equipment analysis. then some damn idiot court fucks up jury instructions and the bastard walks.

A husband convicted of killing his wife underwater more than a decade ago is a free man again after a panel of judges overturned the ruling.
It was alleged David Swain, 55, killed Shelley Tyre, 46, by tearing off her scuba mask as they swam by a shipwreck in the British Virgin Islands.
But the expert diver today walked free after appeal judges found problems with jury instructions read by a judge during the trial in 2009.

WASHINGTON - Robyn Gardner went missing more than two months ago after traveling to Aruba with Gary Giordano. She is presumed dead, and he has been detained as a suspect since early August.
Giordano, 50, called police in Aruba around 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 2 to say that he and Gardner, 35, got separated while snorkeling and she never made it back to shore.
Giordano, an owner of a temporary staffing business from Gaithersburg, Md., traveled to Aruba with Gardner, from Frederick, Md., on July 31 and reported her missing two days later. He told police that she disappeared while the two were snorkeling.
He initially assisted the search but was detained at the airport Aug. 5 as he tried to leave Aruba. Authorities said they found discrepancies in his story. Giordano has denied any wrongdoing through his attorney. And then there's the issue of the travel insurance he took out and reportedly tried to collect.
WTOP's Del Walters has traveled to Aruba to look at how this latest missing person's case has affected the tiny Caribbean island.
Aruba wants to see itself as a happy place. A warm, sunny place welcoming to tourists from across the world.
But Gardner's disappearance is the second mark on the tiny island's otherwise pristine image. First Natalee Holloway and now Robyn Gardner. In both cases an attractive young tourist disappears, and in both cases, no one can seem to find the body.
Gary V. Giordano's account of the disappearance of his travel partner, Robyn Gardner, had enough inconsistencies that authorities decided they couldn't let him leave the Caribbean island and arrested him, Aruban Solicitor General Taco Stein said.
A judge ruled Aug. 31 that there was enough evidence for authorities to detain Giordano for at least 60 days while prosecutors pursue evidence against him. An appeals court upheld that decision a week later.
Giordano's lawyer has challenged that ruling multiple times. The latest appeal was Monday.
Like most of the Caribbean Islands, Aruba depends on tourism to survive.
Fritz Israel, the island's Director of Tourism, says about 70 or 80 percent of their economy comes from tourism.
1.5 million tourists visit Aruba each year. 75 percent of those tourists come from the U.S.
Aruba has changed. This was Walters's fifth trip to the island. He says there is new security where he stays, a guard watches the compound at night.
There is an uneasy calm, when approached most merchants smile, and politely say no comment.
One who did speak to Walters says the island was just fully recovering from Natalee Holloway's disappearance when Gardner went missing. He says it's like Holloway's case never ended, and he just wants some closure.
As the world awaits answers, Aruba continues its search for a killer, while at the same time seeking to guard its reputation and economic way of life.

For the fourth time, the man suspected in the disappearance and presumed murder of a Maryland woman loses his appeal to be released from the Aruba prison.
Gary Giordano, 50, also from Maryland, has been behind bars since his arrest in August, three days after 35-year-old Robyn Gardner disappeared. Each time Giordano has attended a hearing, a judge has concluded he should remain in prison, denying Giordano’s bid for bond or outright release.
Today, Giordano had a new attorney representing him, Chris Lejuez, a public defender.
Giordano continues to serve out his 60-day detention, which expires October 31. At that point, he’ll be back in court. Prosecutors then will either charge Giordano criminally, or request a final detention extension for 30 more days.

buried alive huh? so why hasn't she been found by cadaver dogs and exhumed? so this if true makes the informant a party/witness/accomplice.
The NATIONAL ENQUIRER
IN a monstrous twist to a horrendous crime, Aruban police now believe that missing Maryland beauty ROBYN GARDNER was buried alive.
The ENQUIRER has learned exclusively that authorities received an anonymous but credible phone tip that the blonde beauty was buried – while still breathing – in a dog’s grave.
The informant’s sensational lead triggered a massive search of the Dog Graves Beach area of the Caribbean island, hoping to find evidence to nail the man officials are convinced killed Robyn – Maryland technology expert Gary Giordano.
During the week-long search, specially-trained dogs indicated several possible spots where a body might be buried, and police plan to follow up with a thorough investigation of those areas.
Robyn, 35, who met Giordano, 50, through an online “swingers sex” site, was vacationing with him on the posh Caribbean resort island. But on Aug. 2, Giordano told police that the pair had gone snorkeling and Robyn never made it back to shore.
Police didn’t buy his story, especially after he rushed to collect on a $1.5 million insurance policy he had taken out on Robyn just two days after she went missing.
Sources told The ENQUIRER that police believe the telephone tip may have come from a mysterious stranger – a heavily tattooed white American in his 40s with dark, curly hair. Cops initially believed he was an accomplice of Giordano’s in a murder-for-money scheme.
“The tipster told cops he believed that Giordano thought he had beaten and suffocated Robyn to death during a struggle,” revealed an insider.
“He secured her arms and legs with duct tape and taped a plastic bag over her head before driving to Dog Graves Beach. There, he dug up a fresh dog’s grave with his hands, removed the dog’s body, widened the hole and put Robyn in it. He placed the dog’s body on top of hers – and covered them up.
“The chilling part is that the caller told cops Robyn started moaning and moving when Giordano filled in the hole – burying her alive!”
The pretty victim was too weak from the beating she had suffered and from suffocating inside the plastic bag to defend herself.
After allegedly cleaning himself up at the water’s edge, Giordano stopped at a restaurant and asked employees to call the cops, according to the insider.
“Police believe the caller’s story makes sense. Giordano had scratches on his throat which looked like they had been put there by a woman’s fingernails. His shoes were wet but his clothes were not, leading police to believe he had briefly walked into the water to clean up.
Dog Graves Beach is an eerie spot on Aruba, holding the graves of more than 1,000 pets. The soil is mostly sand and could easily be dug by hand. Six dogs – which can tell the difference between a human and canine corpse – were brought in from Holland to search the vicinity.
Giordano is being held by authorities but is refusing to cooperate.

Robyn Gardner's Blood Found On Towel, Lawyer Discloses After Gary Giordano Hearing
snip:
Lejuez said that during the hearing prosecutors disclosed that a DNA test confirmed that blood found on a towel came from Gardner. But the attorney said that Giordano has maintained that she cut her toe on a rock while they were on a beach and used the towel to stop the bleeding.

of course he'll go back to the States, Aruba will never get him back. but he may face Fed charges here, i don't know what the FBI has on him.
ORANJESTAD, Aruba (AP) -- A U.S. businessman suspected in the August disappearance and presumed death of his traveling companion in Aruba must be released from jail next week and will be free to leave the island, a judge ruled Friday.
Gary Giordano, a 50-year-old employment agency owner from Gaithersburg, Maryland, is scheduled to be freed Tuesday without any conditions.
He has spent nearly four months in custody while investigators have sought more time to gather and evaluate evidence in the death of 35-year-old Robyn Gardner, of Frederick, Maryland. Gardner is presumed dead, but her body has not been found.
Prosecutor Taco Stein said he has appealed the judge's decision.
"It's a setback," he said. "We feel that he is still a flight risk. ... The investigation is ongoing. We need him."
Stein said prosecutors need more time to analyze information from Giordano's laptop and iPad.
He said that if Giordano is freed and leaves Aruba, they would later request his extradition from the U.S. if they could find sufficient evidence to persuade a judge to order him rearrested.
"We are determined to get to the truth of this," Stein said.
Giordano cried when he heard the judge's ruling, which was issued during a private hearing, said his attorney, Chris Lejuez.
"He would not believe that after four months, someone is finally willing to give him the benefit of the doubt," Lejuez said.
Prosecutors said they still consider Giordano a suspect, but Lejuez said his client is innocent.
"The prosecution has conducted a large number of investigations, with nonrelevant results," he said. "It is time to give someone the benefit of the doubt, especially when nothing is found to concretely accuse him."
Giordano has maintained that Gardner was swept out to sea while snorkeling on Aug. 2.
In October, a judge had ruled that Giordano would remain in custody for 30 more days while prosecutors continued to investigate the case.
"I'm just going to ... hope the FBI has something on him," Gardner's boyfriend, Richard Forester of Rockville, Maryland, said Friday after hearing of the judge's ruling.
The FBI had searched Giordano's home in Maryland following his detention in Aruba. The FBI did not immediately comment Friday.

So does this mean he can collect the insurance money now?

she hasn't been declared legally dead yet. i don't think so anyway.
i think he'll have more issues to face also.
ABC
Gary Giordano, the lone suspect in the disappearance of his travel companion Robyn Gardner, is expected to be released from an Aruban jail this evening and bolt from the island before an appeals court can meet to consider keeping him incarcerated.
Giordano, 50, is scheduled to be released about 8 p.m. this evening. He could be back home in Gaithersburg, Md., Wednesday morning.
The island's prosecutors have appealed his release, but Aruba's three judge appeals panel's weekly meeting isn't set to begin until 11 a.m. Wednesday.
Taco Stein, Aruba's solicitor general, is scrambling to convince the appeals panel to convene sooner than Wednesday morning.

LC- if the dogs had indicated there was not a human corpse there, do you think that info would have been released? or would they keep quiet about something like that?
I'm assuming if those dogs were able to detect a human corpse, Aruba would have enough to at least hold him longer, if not charge him.

He looks better with his natural gray hair than with his silly toupees -- and he looks just as shocked as we are that he has been sprung. I wonder if he has gotten away with it. I bet he's wondering the same thing.

His life will be hell back here in the states. Dirt bag has lost weight. I think insurance money was the motive.

Do you think this statement was done by an innocent man?
....Giordano vehemently denied any involvement in Gardner's disappearance. Asked if he would do anything differently if given the chance, he said, "Absolutely. That's a silly question ... I wouldn't have come (to Aruba)." But, he added, "You can't unring a bell”.....
A distraught person who just lost a friend would have said I would not have stopped looking for her, or tried to save her NOT MYSELF.
WOW...
