RSSMSNBC Interviews Joran in Prison
Scared Monkeys has learned from our sources that MSNBC got into the prison today and interviewed Joran Van Der Sloot on film. An emergency court hearing was held tonight and the Judge ordered at Million Florin Fine if they use the footage. That is approximately $600,000 USD.
According to Matt Drudge, the NBC Network may be kicked off Aruba for their filming of Joran Van Der Sloot in jail. Rita Crosby just had film of the jail and the warden with a header that the Aruban court said that images of Joran could not be broadcast.

It is Scared Monkeys opinion that it would be very surprising for NBC or MSNBC to be kicked off the island over this incident.

We respect the court’s order and therefore we will not broadcast the videotape of Joran van derSloot from inside the prison tonight.

Scared Monkeys feels that by not airing the video this will most likely allow NBC to remain on the island.
