From that article.....
........Prosecutors also relied on testimony provided by Guandique's inmate, who claimed that he admitted to killing Levy. Guandique was then sentenced to 60 years behind bars, which he is currently serving.

Could explain the high secrecy.

Chandra Levy's mother has revealed that she has doubts over whether the man convicted in her daughter's death is actually her killer.
'I would like to have the truth come out and to be able to know we have the right person,' Susan Levy told Anderson Cooper in an interview set to air Monday. Levy said she is only 85 percent sure that Ingmar Guandique, who was convicted of killing Levy in 2010, is her daughter's killer. Guandique is serving a 60-year prison sentence in connection with her death.

Chandra Levy's convicted killer may soon receive new trial after court records cast doubt

Imagine that.

 

[PastTense]

A California federal prosecutor told a D.C. Superior Court judge this week that a key witness in the murder trial of the man convicted of killing federal intern Chandra Levy approached him in 1997 about cooperating in another murder investigation. But the prosecutor declined the offer because he found the witness to be “treacherous” and not trustworthy.

Guandique was convicted in the 2001 murder of Levy. During that trial, Morales told a jury that when he and Guandique were cellmates, Guandique told him that he killed Levy. Guandique’s attorneys argued at the time that no such conversation had occurred. Morales also testified that he had never cooperated with law officials before the Guandique case.

This week, Guandique, 31, and his public defenders were back in court arguing that their client deserved a new trial because D.C. prosecutors either knew or should have known that Morales was not being truthful when he took the stand and said he had not cooperated with authorities on previous cases.

During Guandique’s trial, Morales presented himself as a man unaccustomed to cooperating with law enforcement. His credibility, as well as questions about what Guandique’s prosecutors knew about him prior to putting him on the stand, now stand at the center of defense efforts to obtain a new trial.

If Guandique’s prosecutors had known about Morales’ previous cooperation with law enforcement, despite his efforts to minimize his involvement, they would have been obligated to inform Guandique’s attorneys.

The 'interests of justice would be served' in a retrial of the convicted killer of Washington Intern Chandra Levy, prosecutors said Friday.

Levy went missing in 2001 and her case made national headlines when she was romantically linked with then-Republican Gary Condit. Her remains were found in a Washington Park in 2002. Condit was cleared of any suspicion and Ingmar Guandique was eventually convicted of her murder.

The basis for the retrial centers around the questionable testimony of Guandique's cellmate, Armando Morales, a former California gang member.

Judge grants new trial for man convicted of killing Chandra Levy
9:14 PM ET, Fri June 5, 2015

A judge granted Ingmar Guandique, the man convicted of killing Chandra Levy, a new trial on Thursday.

Prosecutors in the District of Columbia last month dropped their opposition to a new trial, clearing the way for D.C. Superior Court Judge Gerald Fisher to order the retrial. Court documents show a hearing in the case is scheduled for next week.

Guandique's lawyers had appealed the conviction and questioned the credibility of a prosecution witness, Armando Morales, a convicted felon and former gang member. He testified that Guandique confessed to him that he killed Levy.

Defense attorneys drag Gary Condit back into Chandra Levy case
Condit ally defends ex-congressman as ‘only person who told the truth throughout’
Retrial is set to begin March 1, but it may slip
Defense attorneys point fingers at other potential suspects

"WASHINGTON
Defense attorneys are aggressively investigating former California Congressman Gary Condit as they prepare for a retrial in the Chandra Levy murder case.

Throughout a court hearing Wednesday, attorneys repeatedly invoked Condit’s name while they pressed prosecutors to turn over material involving the former lawmaker. They are seeking everything from FBI interview notes to a photograph of Condit that Levy allegedly kept on her desk at work.

“We would love to know that we had the entire Gary Condit file,” defense attorney Eugene Ohm said.

Condit, in turn, is denying any hint of criminality and raising questions about the integrity of the underlying law enforcement investigation into Levy’s 2001 death...

Condit testified at the 2010 trial that he’d had nothing to do with Levy’s death, and he was never charged or named as a target of investigators.

Now, as they prepare for a new trial March 1, Guandique’s defense attorneys are suggesting that they will name Condit as one of several possible alternative suspects.

Lawyers sometimes call this a “third-party culpability” defense, in which they raise a “reasonable possibility” that someone other than the defendant may be guilty..."

At a Friday hearing in D.C. Superior Court, attorneys on both sides agreed to set a backup trial date of May 23, just in case it’s needed. Otherwise, Ingmar Guandique’s new trial is set to begin March 1.

Defense attorneys for a man convicted of killing former Washington intern Chandra Levy are making clear that at his second trial they plan to offer jurors evidence pointing to a different one-time suspect in the case: former California Congressman Gary Condit.

Oh FGS! I used to think it was Condit, 'till I found out this guy was in the park. He's a much better suspect. Is he going to claim now that he was working for Condit??? This turned out to be a crime of opportunity.:banghead::banghead::banghead:

 

[hot cawfeee]

I always thought it was Condit too !!!! That he was looking to break things off and Chandra either would go to his wife or go public with their affair.
Total crime of opportunity. Condit lied b/c he is guilty of being a sleaze who cheated on his wife with an intern, not b/c he is guilty of murder. JMO.
