Man pleads not guilty to killing Chandra Levy
Source: Associated Press

A man serving a prison sentence for attacking women in a Washington park pleaded not guilty Wednesday to killing federal intern Chandra Levy.

Twenty-seven-year-old Ingmar Guandique was arraigned in District of Columbia Superior Court on six counts, including first-degree murder, kidnapping and attempted sexual abuse. He pleaded not guilty to all counts.

Guandique listened through a Spanish translator during the hearing. He kept his head down and remained silent, except to reply "si" when asked if he understood the charges.

Judge Geoffrey Alprin set a jury trial, expected to last two weeks, for Jan. 27. Guandique's public defender, Santha Sonenberg, asked the judge for more time to prepare, but Alprin insisted on the date.

The case has been blamed for destroying the political career of former U.S. Rep. Gary Condit of California, who was romantically linked to Levy. Authorities questioned the Democrat who represented the Modesto district where Levy grew up, but he was never a suspect.

only U.S. Rep. Gary Condit's career was ruined by the awesome investigating done by our men in blue....before they 'solved' the crime. :sarcasm:

3. Took 'em long enough
I was posting on a guitar-related website back then, and some of the theories that the right-wingers were coming up with were among the stupidest things I've read on the internet. One of them seriously suggested that Condit had close ties to a biker gang and had probably had them kill her. :crazy:

5. My thoughts...
...were that Mrs. Condit killed Levy due to the affair - some sort of Stepford-sociopathic wife thing.

That would have been an epic Law and Order....

4. This is the same time frame as Dead intern Joe's troubles.
I hope Joe has nightmares tonight. Maybe his case could be dusted off and a little light put on it. I can dream can't I?

6. She wasn't an intern
She was a Congressional aide. And nobody jumped on that one, including her family. I have never understood it.
