Van der Sloot May Plead Guilty

The Dutchman accused of killing a Peruvian woman he met in a casino while attending the Latin American Poker Tour may plead guilty to the murder.  Joran van der Sloot is accused of killing college student Stephany Flores in May of 2010.  He has long been the prime suspect in the disappearance of High School grad Natalee Holloway on the island of Aruba nearly 7 years ago. 

His trial started on Friday January 6, 2012.  The Dutch citizen said he was inclined to confess but doesn't accept the aggravated murder charges sought by the prosecution.

The presiding magistrate of the three-judge panel ordered the trial to resume on Jan. 11.

"I want to give a sincere confession, but I don't agree with all the charges that have been placed on me by the prosecutor. Can I have more time to think about this?"
