Joran Van der Sloot's Lawyer Fights Extradition to US.

Joran Van der Sloot's lawyer has filed a habeas corpus petition to block his client's temporary transfer from a Peru prison to the US, where he faces federal charges of extortion and wire fraud. Van der Sloot, who is serving a 28-year sentence for the murder of Stephany Flores, had previously agreed to the transfer. Peru initially agreed to extradite Van der Sloot to the US only after he serves his murder sentence, but changed course last month and agreed to temporarily extradite him to the US. Van der Sloot is the prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, whose body has never been found.
