Nope. He's going to get majorly ass-raped

There are not enough white guys in prison there to form a gang. Jails are seriously 3rd world and AIDs is rampant

It's generally a good idea to avoid prison in non-1st world countries although his money might be able to buy him some protection

No the McCanns are only guilty of extreme child negligence and stupidity

I've got ask ...... motive? :p

There's quite a few 1st world countries I think I'd rather avoid imprisonment in. The US being one...

BTW. I have no opinion on murder or manslaughter. Haven't seen enough of the case to be a judge.

Had it been one shot, I may be convinced that he thought her an intruder until he heard her scream. Four shots tells me he knew what he was doing and at who.

Not so much jealousy but control. Some men will go to extremes to control a woman they feel is not conforming to their rules or pulling away from the relationship . There was coverage that she had indicated she was afraid of him and his bad temper. Pity she did not heed those warning signs back then.

The trial was doomed from the start ..... for him anyway.

Guilty as hell!! all the reasons have been covered, but I do think he's a very good actor, saying all the right words at the right time. Good coaching there..

I haven't been following it much (it's not really my thing) but I would have to say guilty.

A beautiful young girl needlessly murdered. So sad. :(

Perhaps there is no need for a motive when one is a nasty, arrogant little bastard.
