Blood DNA Links Darryl Littlejohn To Imette St. Guillen Murder

According to broadcast reports, an indictment will be handed down in the Imette St Guillen case.

Until this week, 41-year-old Darryl Littlejohn was just a "person of interest" in the brutal slaying of Imette St. Guillen, 24, who was raped, strangled and suffocated by someone who stuffed a sock in her mouth and wrapped her face like a mummy in clear plastic packaging tape, suggesting that her killer wanted to freeze the pained expression on her face. Also, the killer chopped off her signature long, black hair before disposing of her body along a road in Brooklyn on Feb. 25.

Late last week, Darryl Littlejohn appeared before a Queens County criminal court judge that declared he would have to appear in a police lineup in connection with a second sexual assault case, according to a published report.

Littlejohn is guilty

Highly probable- BUT-there's been WAY too much pre-indictment publicity on this case: enough to poison any local area jury pool-and MAYBE enough to trigger a judicial reversal,if the case is not handled properly from here on out.

That'll be an interesting interrogation.

Did you kill him?

"WHAT?"

Did you kill him?

"WHAT?"

Did you kill him?

"WHAT?"

Did you kill him?

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaah."

The Gothamist blog ran his mug shot, and then crowed that the NY1 finally ran it five hours later:

"UPDATE 5:58pm: NY1 is now running the mugshot. Looks like it's hit the mainstream media-- and relatively quickly-- about five hours from a blog to MSM. Not bad, pros!"

Bad moments in hookup history

Crazy excon bouncer and drunk coed drive off in a van for a lil nookie and the excon goes crazy and the rest is known...Sad case all the way around

added the usual keywords. Thanks for the update everyone.

Hope the owner gets everything that's coming to them for hiring this ex-con as a bouncer then allowing him to take this drunken girl home.

I shouldn't have laughed at that, but I did. A lot.

Littlejohn is guilty

I'm inclined to disagree, to wit:

ritual killing, not the sort of thing a "career criminal" bothers with;

very screwy behavior on the part of the bartender, son of the owner; rich, politically connected family who, a)wasn't stupid or unprofessional enough to be fooled by Littlejohn's failure to disclose -- any idiot can find that information out; b)had a brush with a murdered patron before and bailed out the accused who was later convicted;

the suspect is just too obvious a patsy; evidence is circumstantial at the moment;

he's involved, apparently, but I think he did some dirty work for the bartender. He's your man. He appeared to be buying time for Littlejohn at first, now is letting him twist in the wind.

Now, even if he is guilty, I don't think a jury will convict him just because of what I cited, especially the obstruction of the investigation by the bartender.

Separately, has anyone said, "Gee, it's not a good idea to go barhopping by yourself all night long in New York City," or is the world supposed to pretend that the odds of this sort of tragedy don't increase exponentially when one does so?

Ok, in spite of my previous post, this is probably what happened.

But I'm sure the bartender is involved. Even if only to cover for Littlejohn. Absolutely sure of.

The sick part is, no one seems to be bothering with him.

[the invisib1e hand]

nahhh..still think the bartender is the chief. littlejohn is the number two.

I've been following this case from my perch in Las Vegas and I've had a bad feeling about it from the get-go.

While sometimes the obviously guilty person is in fact guilty, this whole situation just doesn't seem right at all. I know the guy has a rap sheet, but does anyone know if rape and brutal violence is present in his backstory? The word is that this guy is a bad egg, but I think it takes more than just a bad egg to kookout on this poor woman in the way that it went down.

I'm with you - there's something more to this. I have no idea what, though.

[the invisib1e hand]

The papers, this far, have pretty well convicted him already -- that's another problem, considering how influential the family that owns the bar apparently is. And expecting an honest investigation is out of the question. They'll put away whomever they're a) paid to or b) is the likeliest to be convicted.

I have a feeling that, if all the facts were known (don't hold your breath) the investigation would prove almost as sickening as the crime itself.

Snuff movies?

Yep.
