Great outcome, however, I would have like to have seen them given life w/o parole. I saw Barbara's picture after the crime - they deserved life.

Alas, that's not possible here.

just curious ... in the Dutch criminal justice system, is a sentence truelly the time that will be served or is it like in the States when X years might end up being alot less, for good behaviour or whatever??

This is good news, and I applaud the Biancullis for their courage. I also recommend Albert's slide show -- they are a great couple.

Denise, it's normal to lose about 1/3 of your time, due to "good behaviour" in Holland, I don't know how it is on Bonaire.

Double or nothing? Awesome! Kudos to the Biancullis for keeping at it.

You're right, Tish, this is cause for rejoicing!

Boy, now I can agree with double or nothing, sure would clear the dockets.

Sure seems that since they were caught the petty crime and B&E that was being reported on BT has been eliminated.

From what I've heard, it hasn't. It simply hasn't been reported here. I know of at least one local family who run a business on Bonaire whose house was cleaned out (of supplies used in their business) while they were servicing other tourist clients.

First, to answer the question about time off for good behavior, both the US and the Dutch systems provide such time off. However, both countries also allow unconditional sentences in which all time must be served.

I am pleased that these criminals did not get out scott free, and I'm happy that their appeal backfired on them.
