After Joran van der Sloot appeared in a Peruvian court Tuesday to fight an extradition order that could send him back to the U.S. to face new charges, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting that his attorney believes it is a waste of tax-payers’ money to have him stand trial in America.

“This week I am going to present a motion with the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights on behalf of Joran van der Sloot to halt the extradition of him from Peru to the U.S.,” explained one of attorneys Aldo Cotrina. “I believe it will be successful because our claims against Peru for human rights violation are strong.”

Convicted killer Joran van der Sloot is challenging attempts to have him extradited from Peru to the U.S. to stand trial for extortion and wire fraud charges in connection with the mysterious disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway in Aruba.

The Dutchman, who confessed to the murder of 21-year-old Stephany Flores in May 2010, appeared before a judge and prosecutor in a Lima, Peru courtroom for an extradition hearing on Tuesday and stated that he would prefer to finish serving a 28-year murder sentence there, reported CNN.com.

Peru has approved the extradition of convicted killer Joran van der Sloot to the U.S. to stand trial for extortion and wire fraud in connection with the disappearance of Alabama teen Natalee Holloway.

According to court documents obtained by Joran's attorney Maximo Altez, a Peruvian judge has approved a U.S. request for provisional detention, marking the first step in the extraction process and meaning he could land on American soil within three months, reported CNN.com.

Joran van der Sloot is desperate to get back home to the comforts of Castro Castro prison and he is not afraid to pay Peruvian officials in order to get there, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.

The convicted killer is currently serving 28 years in the maximum security Piedras Gordas facility for the May 2010 murder of student Stephany Flores, but he is determined not to be there for long, according to an insider.

Joran van der Sloot has never shown any remorse for the murder of Stephany Flores, and now RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that the cold-hearted killer is still feeling sorry for himself, not the family of the deceased 21-year-old Peruvian student.

Currently wallowing in a maximum security prison in northern Lima serving 28 years after he pleaded guilty to the May 2010 killing, van der Sloot has been complaining about his pitiful state of mind despite confessing to the brutal crime.

The woman dubbed the “guardian angel” of convicted killer Joran van der Sloot has issued a bizarre resignation letter saying she “accepts defeat” in the case.

RadarOnline has exclusively received the note from Mary Hamer, which she addressed to, among others, President Obama, Beth Holloway and Joran himself.

Hamer had paid around $100,000 in legal fees for the 24-year-old Dutchman during his murder trial. He was convicted on January 13 of beating and strangling Peruvian business student Stephany Flores after she found out he was a suspect in the disappearance of an Alabama teen from Aruba in 2005.

In an explosive interview, Joran van der Sloot’s guardian angel compared the convicted killer to the most highly respected peacemakers of modern times, and RadarOnline.com has video of her outrageous claims.

Mary Hamer, who has been paying the 24-year-old Dutchman’s legal fees during his incarceration in Peru for the 2010 murder of Stephany Flores, made the dramatic statement to Anderson Cooper in an episode that aired on Friday.

When asked if she was attracted to the devious murderer who is 31 years her junior, the Lake City, Florida woman replied adamantly: “It would be a fraud if there was a romantic relationship between Joran and me.

It's less than a month since Joran van der Sloot was sentenced to 28 years for the murder of Stephany Flores, but the cold-hearted killer is hoping to be a free man in less than five years, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.

"He is appealing his sentence and hopes he gets parole in less than five years," an insider exclusively revealed to RadarOnline.com.

If van der Sloot's prediction comes true, it will mean he is a free man by 2017 and will serve a fraction of the sentence that was handed to him on January 13 after he confessed to the May 2010 killing of the 21-year-old Peruvian student.

As Joran van der Sloot's health continues on a downward spiral in a Peruvian prison, the woman who calls herself his guardian angel opened up to Anderson Cooper about why she is going broke for the convicted killer, and RadarOnline.com has an exclusive preview of the interview.

Mary Hamer will appear on Friday's episode of Anderson, where she was shocked when the talk show host suggested she was being manipulated by the charming confessed murderer.

"Do you think he's playing you?" asked Anderson bluntly.

Joran van der Sloot is no stranger to life in jail but his new home is a far cry from the luxuries he had grown used to during his 18 months at Lima's Castro Castro prison.

After he was sentenced to 28 years on January 13 for the May 2010 murder of Stephany Flores, van der Sloot was transferred to the high security facility of Piedras Gordas in northern Lima in response to criticism that his living conditions were too comfortable, and RadarOnline.com can exclusively reveal that since the move his health has been in a downward spiral.
