I heard that Joran (psychopath and killer of young women) may become a father! (He has a Peruvian gf, who has made several conjugal visits). What an ideal family setup! He fathers a child while serving a 27 year sentence for murder. Is this sort of thing common? I thought only the USA was this crazy. ---

Oh damn, you are right. [(source)](http://news.blogs.cnn.com/2012/10/08/report-joran-van-der-sloot-to-become-a-father-behind-bars/comment-page-3/). Well, his mom is a deluded bleeding heart with an fatal attraction to the baddest celebrity by of them all. She will make a reasonable mother, I think. Joran will be absent, so no harm done. And psychopathology isn’t heriditary, judging by the fact that Joran comes from a family of normal, even decent people who were as much victimized by him as his other victims. I guess the baby will get support from Jorans Dutch parents, the mom will either tire of Joran or continue to have a fantasy relationship with him, and Joran will have a very limited influence on the child. Things could be worse. But damn. Joran really is a slick mofo with the ladies, isn’t he? ---

The [latest word from his lawyer](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2214981/Laywer-denies-claim-convicted-killer-Joran-Van-der-Sloot-fathered-child-conjugal-visit-Peruvian-prison.html) is that it isn’t true. Either she aborted the pregnancy or the whole thing was a scam to try to get Peruvian citizenship to avoid extradition to the US (having a Peruvian child would apparently put him on the fast track to citizenship, even while in prison).
