He said that just after he lamented that we had lost our feeling for common decency."
Then the investigators are idiots. The world was closing fast around Condit. His story line (alibi) for that day was a lie, and it was being discovered by sleuths everywhere around 9/10/2001. Luckily for Condit and not for America, the focus on him dropped out of sight the next day.
Condit was more suspicious than any potential murderer I have ever heard of, even in the cheapest budget films.
He had motive, opportunity, and plenty of biker connections. She was definitely desperate to hang on to him, and wasn't leaving her internship without trying to get a commitment from him.
Condit made her wear NO ID of any kind when she was coming to meet with him. She called her aunt and left a happy message for her the day she disappeared, saying that she had the best news! Then she looked up how to get to a section of Rock Creek Park, and left her home with absolutely no ID. She was never seen alive again.
Condit has no actual alibi for those hours. His appointment with Cheney had ended. He claimed an appointment with a reporter, but that had been the previous or a different day.
There have been all kinds of jailhouse confessions that were BS. My money is on Condidit.
I signed up September 10, 2001 because I had something to scream about in the Condit case. Definitely dropped right off the radar the next morning. He is still a total sleaze in my book.
It was also the summer of the shark attack. The MSM was trying to figure out why sharks were so mad at us. Seems very trivial in retrospect.
He's probably still a suspect.
If I remember correctly, there was indeed a Mrs. Condit (as well as a couple of children) who didn’t “understand” Mr. Condit.
I think there's a decent chance the alleged killer gets acquitted on this one.
Also makes me wonder if the prosecution moved in limine to exclude these questions and the court ruled against it. Otherwise I can't understand why they would sit by and let this obviously irrelevant line of questioning continue without objection.
The prosecution must have not objected for tactical reasons. I can't see why a judge would allow the defense to put him on without some preliminary showing of his potential guilt. Just plain sloppy [or cowardly] in my opinion if it was done over objection.
I haven’t read everything about it, but from what I’ve seen, the prosecution doesn’t have enough evidence for a conviction.
Yep, I agree. Can't believe it's approaching 10 years. Ok, closer to 9, but still hard to believe.
It is relevant as to a possible motive of Condit and a defendant has a constitutional right to present a complete defense. If the only evidence is an alleged prison confession, Condit’s relationship certainly is relevant.
Obviously, the court must have ruled that the questions put to Condit were appropriate.
The prosecution didn’t call Condit because there he nothing he could say that would helpt the prosecutions case against the accused.
I don’t recall; but was the local prosecutor up for re-election at the time of the murder? If so, it is not impossible that for political purposes, charges were filed so as to look like progress was being made of the case. Wouldn’t be the first time something like that was done.
Do you think that it would be that hard for them to show potential guilt? He had motive. (She was telling people they had an affair, and was apparently pressuring him to take the next step. The police investigated him. The police saw him throwing a gift for her in a dumpster far from where he lived or work.) He had no alibi. Frankly, I see more evidence that Condit did it. All the prosecution has is a jailhouse snitch.
He must have been called for the defense! Why else would he even be there? But a hostile witness nonetheless.
I believe he lured her to the spot, and probably appeared there himself in some rural area, so that she would trust, and then someone else did the deed.
While I completely agree with you, the watch he threw away was from a different woman.
It will be interesting to see how the judge handles this situation.

They later switched it up to muslims.
