I mean, is he enjoying life in a peruvian prison? I understand his mom visited…are they planning a spirited defense? Or is poor Joran doomed to live out his life ain a horrible fashion. Has a trial date been set? I cannot imagine things are too pleasant for him…but maybe with all the publicity, the Peruvians are giving him better accomodations. Question: does Peru have life sentences without parole? ---
