The Chandra Levy murder case appears to be closed. The defendant, Guandique, has been determined guilty. Guandique is an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, and is already jailed for previous offenses. The jury deliberated for four days. Oddities with litigation evidence have led some to believe Guandique has been framed.
Ingmar Guandique convicted for killing Levy
The Levy homicide court case went unsolved for year, reports MSNBC. Now, Ingmar Guandique was determined responsible on trial. In WA D.C., Levy had an internship. She supposedly was having an affair with Gary Condit, previous congressman, at the time. Ingmar Guandique is already serving a 10-year sentence for attacks on 2 women in Rock Creek Park in Washington, D.C., from 2001. Levy’s remains were discovered in Rock Creek Park in 2001, a year after she was reported missing. What led prosecutors to try the already incarcerated inmate was testimony from his cellmate, who claimed that Guandique had admitted to killing her, however nothing else. Many debate about the murder trial. This is because many think Guandique is being blamed for something he did not do.
Evidence pieces
Gary Condit was always acting suspiciously at the case while even taking the Fifth Amendment at one point. This is what the illegal immigrant, Guandique, had his defense explain. A witness can take the Fifth Amendment to stay away from incriminating himself, which Condit did. The defense talks a lot about the physical evidence and concerns with it. This is what the WA Post explains. There is little physical evidence that Guandique ever came in contact with Levy. A homicide weapons was never discovered by everyone. Also, the DNA on Levy's running tights didn't match Condit or Guandique's DNA. The prosecution countered that an investigator could have improperly handled the proof, contaminating it with their DNA, but no testing was done to confirm it.
Terrible much talked about case end
It seems very possible that Guandique might be responsible within the Levy case considering his previous crimes although there are inconsistencies in proof. The justice has been taken care of for Chandra Levy. Hopefully it was right though.
