Joran admits it, but says it was a lie?

Gretawire is reporting:

(AP) — Dutch student Joran van der Sloot said in a television interview Friday that he had told a friend privately he was involved in Natalee Holloway’s disappearance, but that he was lying.Van der Sloot’s comments on Dutch television show “Pauw & Witteman” came after reports that a crime reporter had captured him in an apparent confession. He was reported to have been caught by a hidden cameras saying Holloway had died after having sex with him, and that he then dumped her body at sea with the help of a friend.

Trend News also has a similar story on their website:

Dutch youngster Joran van der Sloot has allegedly admitted involvement in the death of American girl Natalee Holloway, Dutch public television reported Friday citing a video confession that had been filmed secretly by a friend.

If this is true, Joran Van der Sloot is beyond arrogant to think he will be believed. I am sure most people will be repulsed by such arrogance, if news reports are correct. No innocent person in their right mind would ever do this after all the hell Joran has supposedly been through.

Hopefully, police will have enough, at minimum, try him in a court of law.
