A quick update from today's proceedings in the Chandra Levy murder trial: Ingmar Guandique, who stands accused of killing Levy in Rock Creek Park more than nine years ago, told Judge Gerald Fisher that he will not take the stand and testify.

The man accused of killing Chandra Levy in Rock Creek Park in 2001 has pleaded not guilty to additional charges of threatening to kill a witness, the Associated Press is reporting. Prosecutors filed the additional charges against Ingmar Guandique earlier this month, citing evidence that Guandique wrote a threatening note to the witness and had someone deliver it. The AP updates that Guandique's lawyer entered a not-guilty plea for him to the new charges during an arraignment today in D.C. Superior Court. Guandique is already serving a 10-year sentence for separate assaults in Rock Creek Park, and is facing first degree murder charges in the death of Levy. more ›

Those new charges we'd been waiting on against Ingmar Guandique, the man accused of murdering Chandra Levy, were filed today in D.C. Superior Court, the Associated Press (via WTOP) is reporting. Initial speculation was that the new charges, which have pushed back Guandique's trial until much later in 2010, might have had something to do with another victim. Instead, it turns out he's being charged with threatening a witness.

According to the new indictment, Guandique wrote a note to a witness identified only as "J.G." and had someone deliver it. The note threatened to kill J.G. or J.G.'s family if J.G. cooperated with law enforcement in the case against Guandique. more ›

Federal prosecutors plan to file additional charges against Chandra Levy's accused killer, Ingmar Guandique, the Post is reporting. The move will push the trial, originally scheduled to begin in January, all the way back to October, 2010.

As the Post notes, prosecutors have said they will seek to have Guandique held in the D.C. jail for his trial in the event he ends up being released before it concludes. more ›
