I don't know precisely where this post will land since I've forgotten how exactly to reply to a particular post on the board [my brain cells have aged 15 years since rd began this forum, and a lot of them have been lost along the way!] but I want to thank you, Rainbow, for sharing the Associated Press story on the upcoming trial in March.

I've always fallen somewhere on the scale between 'skeptical' and 'cynical', and these days the only reports I take seriously enough to even read them are AP, UPI and Reuters ... if AP says there's going to be a trial, there's going to be a trial!! I have waited for sooooo long to see even a small step in the direction of Sack o'Crap Condit being brought to justice, and your post has me dancing on the tabletops, so you are my hero du jour!!

great to see you, propria! My goodness Justice has someone looking over her shoulder to be sure. We will find it yet.

The thread below this in Latest News, "Public defenders request evidence on Gary Condit", will bring joy to your heart as it did the rest of us. It's the latest on the case, be sure to give it a read.

Hi, there ... long time, no see!!

I do hope this new trial for Guandique stirs the embers and lights a fire under the congressional creep ... justice abandoned just grates on my very last nerve, but then you already know that, don't you?

As we expected from following the first trial and appeals, DC prosecutors have asked for postponement due to still not turning over everything they're supposed to and Public Defenders are expecting.

Postponed from March 1 to May 23. I expect they still won't have turned over what they're supposed to by then, and will ask for another delay.

It's what they do. Justice it isn't.

Hello Rainbow, Propria, rd, Goz and everyone - Glad for Guandique that there'll be a new trial (it'll be hard on Chandra's family though, I think)

It probably will, and that's unfortunate, but I think from Susan's few comments that she's made that she knows that this is a rigged up story of what happened to Chandra.

Letting the DC people get away with railroading Guandique ande closing the case is not the thing to do for Chandra.

Trial pushed back to October or so.

Good thing we got everything written down while we still remembered it.

I don't have time to post this morning, have to get to work, but Chris Spargo of something that resembles National Enquirer (which is not a compliment), dailymail.co.uk, has done the typical ignorant reporting we know so well through the years.

I was going to email him/her but when I clicked on the name it was a search on their site, so probably wishes to remain ignorant.

Spargo drops this classic line on the world at large:

A search of the park where the young woman often jogged meanwhile turned up no evidence suggesting Levy had been in the area when she went missing.

Chandra did not jog, did not travel around by herself away from public areas, and from testimony of the gym guy at Guandique's first trial, did not even run on a treadmill at the gym.

There were only a few accurate reporters on this case all these years, and Spargo is not one of them. But that probably sells this tabloid paper like the National Enquirer.

Then Spargo claims that the person the defense claimed lied on the stand was Condit. Now the Public Defenders defense in their appeal did raise the possibility that Condit along with others who were asked to take polygraphs by police (Condit refused) provided reasonable doubt on Guandique's conviction, and that Condit would be called to the stand in a retrial.

But the lying on the stand was about the main information used to convict Guandique, that of the "cellmate confession" testimony.

Spargo writes like a bad fiction writer. But maybe he gets a cut of the tabloid action, who knows?

Hello, rd and gang!
I have missed you, all! Could the National Enquirer reporter be referring to the statement quoted in this article, made by a D.C. police detective when he testified on the stand in 2010, whereby he accuses Mr. C. of not telling the truth about the extent of his relationship with Chandra?

McClatchy DC
Defense Attorneys Drag Gary Condit Back Into Chandra Levy Case
By Michael Doyle
January 20, 2016 6:24 p.m.

Peace cited, as the "tip of the iceberg," the 2010 trial testimony of a Washington police detective who alleged that Condit falsely denied having an "intimate relationship" with Levy.

hi kate, good to see you. The reporter could be referring to that, that's a good point, but he/she would be wrong. Can you imagine winning a retrial because Condit denied an intimate affair with the victim? Don't think that would go very far in appeals.

The appeal was on proven lies told by the "cellmate confession" prosecutor plant, the when all else fails jigger up a cellmate confession paid for for with special treatment and early release.

Works like a charm every time for them there honest prosecutors who do it. Except when the confession guy established himself based on lies before he tells another whopper.

That is the lying that won a retrial. The tabloid jingoist was going for clickbait, not boring truth.

As always, kate, good points from you.

A hearing today, and some news.

Trial scheduled for October 11.

DC Prosecutors still fighting all the way any disclosure of information. Still refusing to give requested information to the Public Defenders.

Speaking of which, Public Defender Jonathan Anderson, for who I have the highest regard (ranks right up there with the reporters Michael Doyle and Allan Lengel from what I've seen so far), is pursuing the "reasonable doubt" defense that I argued for last time. Doyle gives the technical term for it, third party culpability defense.

It wasn't done last time, and Guandique paid for it with a conviction. Fortunately the trial was so rigged with the case based on a lying witness that the conviction was overturned and here we are for round two.

This time Anderson is the Public defender and doing it right, although I don't know if will be trying or will be successful in getting the jury out to where Chandra was found. It should not even be a question. The jury should not be ignorant of exactly what transpired even though lawyers apparently like that.

Anderson is asking to depose three mistresses of Condit, Anne Marie Smith, Joleen Argentini, and Sue Rossi. DC Prosecutors throwing a hissy fit and demanding it not be allowed. Condit has some volunteer lawyer Bret Peace chiming in with how unfair it is to use taxpayer money to question anything about Condit.

Anne Marie can speak a great deal to Condit's mind before Chandra disappeared, also the discovery of bondage cords tucked into his bed which hearkens to Chandra being bound with her tights.

Joleen called the FBI when Chandra's connection with Condit was nationally broadcast and urged them to go search Condit's condo, which they didn't do because, guess what, yet another DC Prosecutor wouldn't allow it.

The DC police did search his condo building dumpster and Condit promptly walked off House floor that moring upon being given the news. He was next heard from by Anne Marie from a payphone in Luray, Virginia down main street from Luray Caves (which were of course closed at that time of night, but still, what a place to go to to make a payphone call to the mistress that wasn't missing).

Now I have never said Condit did it, or that he should be prosecuted for murder. All I ever did was say there's a lot of questions, and everytime Condit says something he changes his story, so none of those questions have been answered.

And they're not all or even mostly or even a good portion of questions for Condit, because goodness knows you're not going to get anywhere asking him questions.

But it is and was totally unacceptable to not make those unknowns known to a jury deciding Guandique's guilt. Anderson is shedding light where it belongs.

Examining her life is examining her death.

Haven't commented on the news yet, but reading comments in Washington Post and responding.

"...and they know where Condit was that day."

Google Chapter Alibi. It will hit my website and you can see the details I wrote about on "they knew where Condit was". Condit was not seen from 12:50pm (coming out a meeting with Cheney that Condit requested) until 6:30pm, While I welcome this vigorous defense and have suggested it all along, there are no answers yet, just questions.

But it is totally and absolutely untrue that anyone has spoken that they knew where Condit was any of that time all afternoon after Chandra logged off her computer (same time as Condit was leaving Cheney's office he had in House building.)

There are a few implications, such as "Condit meeting with Cheney, returned to office 3:30pm". If you read that as being in a meeting with Cheney until 3:30pm, well, that's the intent. It waa a 20 minute meeting from 12:30 to 12:50.

Or that Condit was said by his aide that he "took calls from constituents", i.e. didn't call someone himself so there's no record of it, and "probably went to the gym".

And this beauty: 5pm doctors appointment
If you read that as was at a doctor's office at 5pm, well, that's how this stuff works, isn't it?

That's the gist of "knew where he was, and Condit is cleared".
