Guilty,in Chandra Levy Case

The guilty verdict in the murder case of Chandra Levy, has some in the U.S Attorney office feeling very good after the jury took less then four days to convict  twenty-nine year old  Imgmar Guandique of two counts, death as part of a kidnapping and death as part of a robbery, he could serve 30 years to life ,  in a case where there was no DNA linking him to the murder, no witness, no murder weapon, no medical examiner ruling on the cause of death and plenty of mistake’s by the police, have some wondering why convictions in cases like the Swann Street  murder of lawyer Robert Wone, in August 2006 with what some thought, had a house full of clues ,  or other murders on sites like this one linger without movement, some with enough evidence that might make the case against  Mr. Guandique  look like kids play.

  The justice systems has long seem to work in a few cases and in others, (O.J.) comes to mind f0r quickly for some people, but there are many in this area with murder weapons, examiner ruling, etc., that don’t come close to getting a jury less alone a conviction. The years of work on this case with a man that was serving time for two other cases that happen in Rock Creek Park has come to an good ending if indeed he is the person who committed the murder of Ms. Chandra Levy, for quite sometime all the news was on the congressman from California, Rep. Gary Condit, who’s life was badly tarnish to say the least, as nearly ever news report in this area had him as their main person who might be convicted in the case of Ms. Levy, how things took a around the world turn.

This site has seen the arrest or cases close in the murder of Ms. Alice Pratt, arrest in the murder of Ms. Crystal Washington and now a conviction in the murder case of Ms. Chandra Levy, with more then four-thousand unsolved cases in this area, many of them never getting their stories in the news in any way close to little more then an obituary if that. The justice system remains untrue to too many families who have loss someone to murder and it will continue that way, sadly, but that’s the way it is until we can inprove the workings of our system, that in no way dims the light on Ms. Levy, she had no right to have her young life taken at the hands of anyone and to have her family and others in doubt of any bit of closure for more then nine years, yes, the system works for fewer murder victims then it does for those who kill and go unpunished.  

Each case and jury is different, the work done by the police, the U.S. Attorney office does work  as it should in some murder cases, too many times in this writers mind the murders outwit those who are suppose to deliver justice in too many cases,  making costly mistakes they let murders walk free or in too many ways never even make it through grand juries, where some lie and don’t get punish for it. Our law enforcement need to have better training, work ethics, cooperation with witness on what  they need to get true convictions in cases that linger in the grave of files of paper that fades, get loss, destroyed, or maybe worse mishandle in a court room.  

This may be the end of one case that linger far too long with the destruction of a mans career, the loss of a woman’s life,  far too many police errors , that doubt will be part of this case for some and in time more cases will follow with different names, locations and more or less evidence that will gain confidence in our justice system or make changes before it crumbles and those who murder gain a larger success rate then they already have. Sentencing is set for February 11, 2011.
