Prosecutors seek life term for Guandique The man convicted of killing federal intern Chandra Levy should spend the rest of his life in prison, prosecutors say. Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, is scheduled to be sentenced Friday. He was convicted in November of killing Levy in Rock Creek Park in 2001.
“Mr. Guandique has demonstrated predatory behavior that seems incapable of rehabilitation and thus, poses a grave danger to the community, expresses no remorse, and refuses to accept responsibility for his criminal conduct,” prosecutors wrote in court papers.
