Media Frenzy: Immigration

Illegal Immigrant Dept: Assistant U.S. attorney Amanda Haines blamed the bungling in part on the "secrets of a man named Gary Condit," whose alleged affair with Levy was brought to light after Levy vanished in May of 2001. The media frenzy surrounding the affair distracted police from finding the real killer, Haines said, according to Calgary Herald. The defence also highlighted errors in the police investigation that led to Ingmar Guandique, whom police focused on while he was serving time in jail for attacking two other women and the investigation into the murder of Washington intern Chandra Levy was bungled from the start because the wrong person -- U.S. Congressman Gary Condit -- was initially suspected, prosecutors said Monday as they opened the trial of an illegal immigrant from El Salvador they said is the real killer. "He was having an affair with Chandra Levy," Haines told the jurors in a packed courtroom Monday morning, "but it has nothing to do with the murder of Chandra Levy." As reported in the news.
