Levy case closed as Guandique determined guilty

The Levy has resulted in Guandique being found responsible. Guandique, an immigrant from El Salvador, was determined responsible after the jury deliberated for four days. Oddities with litigation evidence have led some to believe Guandique has been framed.

Convicting Guandique for killing Levy

After years of the court case going unsolved, Guandique was found responsible after the case over the Levy homicide, according to MSNBC. Prior congressman Gary Condit was supposedly having an affair with Levy while she interned in WA D.C. Ingmar Guandique is already serving a 10-year sentence for attacks on two 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. Guandique was only tried because of the testimony his cell mate gave. Evidently he admitted to murdering her, however didn't say anything else about it. However, the murder trial remains controversial, as many believe Guandique has been made a scapegoat.

Evidence parts

Guandique, as an illegal immigrant, had his defense point out that Gary Condit took the Fifth Amendment at the trial while also always acting suspicious when it came to the case. The Fifth Amendment can be taken by witnesses so as to stay away from incriminating themselves. Condit did this. The defense also pointed out some severe concerns concerning physical proof, based on the WA Post. There isn't any proof that Guandique came into contact with Levi. They might have never even met. 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.

Poor way to conclusion the much talked about case

The inconsistencies with the evidence are certainly troubling, however given Guandique’s prior crimes within the exact same area, his guilt in the Chandra Levy court case seems plausible. Hopefully justice has been done for Levy.
