A public defender has been assigned to the Joran van der Sloot case while he awaits extradition from Peru.

Joran van der Sloot, who is believed to be the main suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway during her senior trip in Aruba in 2005, has been assigned a public defender to represent him.
According to court records, Public Defender Kevin Butler was authorized by Federal Magistrate Judge Gray Borden to represent van der Sloot.
The undersigned counsel believes, based on their good faith and belief, that legal actions have been started which could lead to consequences for Mr.###.
Butler stated in the document that Van Der Sloot should be sent from Peru to the United States to face legal action in this matter.
Furthermore, the individual referred to as Mr.
Van Der Sloot has been detained since around 2010 and is financially disadvantaged.
Hence, based on the mentioned power and for the sake of fairness, the person signing this document humbly asks for the approval of this request. Van der Sloot is being accused in the US for his involvement in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway during a senior trip of Mountain Brook High School in Aruba in 2005.
She had chosen to reside at a Holiday Inn resort located in Noord, Aruba.
The former prosecutor who charged Joran van der Sloot, the prime suspect in the Natalee Holloway case, expressed surprise at his extradition. Van der Sloot killed 21-year-old Stephany Flores in Lima, Peru in 2010.
He is presently confronted with a prison term of 28 years, but has been given extra time due to his involvement in a drug trafficking scandal while in prison.
Peruvian authorities declared on May 10th that van der Sloot will be extradited to the US for a limited time to confront accusations of extortion. The allegations claim that he attempted to obtain money from the Holloway family by offering information about the whereabouts of Natalee Holloway, who is missing.
Van der Sloot was accused by federal prosecutors in 2010 of extortion and wire fraud for supposedly trying to sell information about the location of Natalee Holloway's remains to Beth Holloway.
It is claimed that he requested a sum of $250,000, with $25,000 to be paid initially for the information. The remaining amount was to be given once Natalee Holloway's body was confirmed to be found in Aruba, where she disappeared.
The disappearance of Natalee Holloway caused a negative impact on the economy of Aruba, according to a local guide who was hired by Natalee's mother, Beth Holloway. Despite extensive efforts, Natalee's remains were never located.
Van der Sloot admitted to murdering Flores in January 2012, and Natalee Holloway was officially declared deceased during the same month.
According to prosecutors, van der Sloot provided false information to John Q, the lawyer of Beth Holloway.
Kelly was discussing the location of Natalee Holloway's remains.
According to George Patriot Seymore, who is the spokesperson for Beth Holloway, the extradition of van der Sloot is expected to occur in a week. However, the head of Interpol in Lima, Peru, Colonel, has stated that the process may take several months.
According to López Aeda, the timing of the extradition is reliant on various factors, such as obtaining a pledge from the United States.
The decision to send van der Sloot back will depend on the outcome of the court proceedings and whether his lawyer files a habeas corpus petition.
Joran van der Sloot, the suspect in the Natalee Holloway case, is getting divorced following a scandal involving drug smuggling while in prison. The Peruvian Justice Minister, Daniel Maurate, stated that van der Sloot will be sent to an American prison after completing his sentence in Peru if he is found guilty in the United States.
