The father of slain intern Chandra Levy took the witness stand Tuesday afternoon and refuted statements he gave to law enforcement more than eight years ago, when he believed then-Rep. Gary Condit was responsible for his daughter’s death.

Dr. Robert Levy said he told police in 2001 and 2002 that his daughter was very cautious and would never go jogging in the woods alone, and that she and Condit had secretly been dating and had a five-year plan to get married. But on Tuesday, Levy said he didn’t think those things were true.
