ARUBA -- Last night, a lawyer and a former district attorney condemned the media hype on the Natalee Holloway-case on Larry King on CNN. They talked about the Holloway-case in anticipation of tonight’s broadcast, when Dr. Phil as well as private detective Jamie Skeeters is going to give an explanation on the videotape with a recording on Deepak Kalpoe.

Mark Geragos and Mary Fulginiti both agree that if it was their case, as lawyer and district attorney, they would have kicked Dr Phil off the case. They do not understand Dr Phil’s involvement with this case. It is very irresponsible allowing suspects to speak and interfere so intense with a case like this. It is very bad when citizens meddle in an investigation. Very often, this damages the case as well as the evidence. They say that the media-attention has played into the defense of the suspects hands. “Suppose the OM wants to persecute the suspect. It is then very easy for the defense to say that the recordings have been tampered with. And that makes all the other evidence doubtful.” They emphasize that it is revolting trying to impose the American system on Aruba.
