Ambushed in New York City, Lawsuit filed, Natalee Holloway Case

One of the worst days in the lives of Joran, Paul & Anita van der Sloot, might have turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it brought attorney Joe Tacopina onto their defense team. The families of Natalee with Beth & Jug Twitty and Dave & Robin Holloway would join together represented by John Q Kelly and file what would be called the New York lawsuit against the Van der Sloots. In this lawsuit Deepak and Satish Kalpoe were not named.

For months the media such as Nancy Grace and Greta van Susteren had allowed nonstop accusations against the Prime Suspects. Almost immediately Joe Tacopina took charge, with a passion of defending his client on all the cable news shows. Finally some of the accusations by Beth and Natalee's other family members would begin to be checked. Jossy Mansur the editor of Aruba's Diario is another media person Joe would tangle with over his outlandish charges against his client. After Joe Tacopina enters the case things would be forever changed.
