“We wanted to make sure he was the right person. … We took this very seriously.” Juror Sharae Bacon at conclusion of Chandra Levy murder trial. (Washington Post, Nov. 23, 2010).
The 10-day trial of the Chandra Levy murder captivated Americans just as much as her disappearance had. The story had all the drama of a best-selling crime novel, after all — the beautiful and ambitious intern; the love affair with a powerful congressman; her disappearance one spring morning; the discovery — a year later — of her remains on a deserted hillside; and then the identification of a suspect — eight years later — who had attacked two other female joggers in the same area at the same time Levy disappeared. The case triggered not only a media frenzy, but also heartfelt outpourings of compassion for the bereaved family.
