Trial for Chandra Levy slaying suspect stays in DC
Breaking Legal News
A judge has decided to keep the trial of a man charged in the killing of federal intern Chandra Levy in the District of Columbia.
Attorneys for 28-year-old Ingmar Guandique (gwan-DEE'-kay) had argued he would not get a fair trial in Washington because of the extensive publicity. But Judge Gerald Fisher denied a motion Friday to change the venue of Guandique's trial in October.
Levy disappeared in May 2001 and her remains were found a year later in Rock Creek Park. Guandique faces a first-degree murder charge in her death.
The judge still has to rule on another defense request to suppress statements Guandique made to authorities in 2008.
