Gary Condit Testifies In Chandra Levy Murder Trial

WASHINGTON (AP) — Former California Rep. Gary Condit is testifying in the Chandra Levy murder trial.

Ingmar Guandique, a native of El Salvador, is on trial for the murder and attempted sexual assault of Levy nearly a decade ago.

The Washington intern's disappearance made headlines after she was romantically linked with Condit. He was once the main suspect, but police no longer believe he was involved.

Condit took the stand Monday at the D.C. Superior Courthouse.

Prosecutors acknowledged in their opening statement that police failed in their initial investigation of Levy's disappearance by focusing on Condit to the exclusion of anyone else.
