A MOTHER GIVES HER DAUGHTER'S KILLER A FITTING SENDOFF

Last Friday, Salvadoran immigrant Ingmar Guandique was sentenced to 60 years in prison for the 2001murder in Washington, D.C. of Chandra Levy, a 24-year-old government intern. The killing garnered worldwide attention because, at the time of her death, former California congressman Gary Condit was having an extramarital affair with Levy. For a time, Condit was considered a prime suspect in Chandra’s murder.

At the sentencing hearing, Susan Levy, Chandra’s mother, read a 16-minute long victim impact statement during which she said, “You, Mr. Guandique, you are lower than a cockroach.”

When she finished her statement, Susan Levy turned to Guandique, pointed at the killer and said, “Finally, FUCK YOU! That is it.”

And that was, no doubt about it, a most fitting sendoff.
