FBI Analyst Taints Levy Case DNA Evidence

And now, yet another dissapointing twist in the Chandra Levy murder case: during the hearing for Ingmar Guandique, who was arrested on murder charges back in April, it was revealed that a since-fired FBI analyst mixed some of her own DNA on to evidence collected from the crime scene. The Post reported that the damaged evidence included clothing which Levy was wearing when she was discovered. Guandique's attorneys, already playing the "incompetent law enforcement" card, have asked that the trial -- currently set to begin on January 27 -- be postponed in light of the findings. It's a sad scenario that, in this case, these kind of fumbles fail to surprise. For his part, Guandique -- who was already behind bars for two seperate assaults on women in Rock Creek Park -- remains as creepy as ever: when admitting to investigators that he had contact Levy in the park, he added, "[s]o what if I touched her?"
