I have a feeling that more than one person will be going away over this. I'm thinking bar owner.
If they had kept this guy in jail, the girl would still be alive. Hope they nail him on this and give him the needle.
Oddly enough, the bar owner, Michael Dorrian, is the son of Jack Dorrian, the owner of Dorrian's Red Hand.
Dorrian's Red Hand is the bar that Robert Chambers and Jennifer Levin left from before he murdered her in Central Park.
Forget going away they should execute him within days rather than spending time and money on this waste of space. Too much money is spent housing this pukes. All he did there before was to get all beefed up so he could overpower women! The bar tender is a puke too. He should have come forward immediately which makes you wonder what his involvment is.
How the bar owner could hire this guy as bouncer is beyond me. This guy was on parole and was not suppose to be out of his house after 9PM. I smell a big law suit coming up.
This all smells like a Law & Order episode. If it's not, then there WILL be one down the road I'm sure.
There was one, in particular, that this story brings to mind. It involved a jail providing psychiatric meds to a convict who was released from said jail. The convict ran out of the meds the prison gave him, he had no money, so he quickly went insane and killed some woman on the subway. They convicted him of murder and then the hospital for negligence.
Problem is that this stuff goes on all the time. It's the Liberal Utopian Dream State. All of these guys are rehabilitated by the system, right? Sure, and then they go out, something snaps, and boom, they're killing/raping/etc.
Welcome to NYC!
I've wondered about the bar owner too. I cannot imagine why else he would have lied to police. Would help explain why DNA doesn't match Littlejohn, but carpet fibers match those found in his house.
Funny you should mention "Bar Owner"....check out this story in today's NY Post....
IRA GUNMAN LAUNCHED BAR EMPIRE IN APPLE
By JEANE MacINTOSH and LEELA de KRETSER

March 9, 2006 -- The high-society brothers who own the bar at the center of the Imette St. Guillen murder are part of a colorful and controversial New York pub family.
The Falls owners Michael and Danny Dorrian are the grandsons of John "Red" Dorrian, a one-time IRA gunman who came here in 1921, penniless and with a price on his head.
He worked as a bootlegger in Midtown speakeasies - where his patrons included legendary columnist Walter Winchell and hard-drinking and womanizing Mayor Jimmy Walker.
Red had five kids. One of them, Jack, now 73, would become owner of Dorrian's Red Hand, the infamous pub at East 84th Street and Second Avenue.
As a kid, Jack Dorrian was a troublemaker - he was expelled from five Catholic schools.
"I was a hump," he once said, recalling how a nun told his mother "I was no good, and I should go to public school."
He and wife Carol, a former model, had eight kids: Laura, 46, John, 42, Michael, 41, Mary, 39, Carol, 38, Christopher, 35, Danny, 33, and James, 30. Working seven days a week, he put them through top private schools.
Danny and Michael followed in his footsteps andwent into the bar business.
Daughter Mary is married to John Bettis, an award-winning songwriter, famous for the "Godfather III" and "Say Anything" movie soundtracks.
Youngest daughter, Carol, who worked in TV production, is married to Anthony Carbonetti, former mayor Rudy Giuliani's chief of staff and current business partner.
In his years running the Red Hand, Jack Dorrian became a confidante to scores of other kids - well-heeled preppies who drank there.
Among his clientele: Robert Chambers, the preppy pretty-boy who, on a summer evening in 1986, would put Dorrian's forever on the map when he met Jennifer Levin, 18, there - and later killed her in Central Park.
Jack's sons, Michael and John, had known Chambers since he was 5. After Chambers' arrest, Jack put up his East 71st Street townhouse to help bail Chambers out of jail.
Dorrian said he did it because Chambers' mother, Phyllis, asked him for help.
He said he thought the victim's mother would "understand" - but Levin's parents later hit him with a $25 million suit. It was settled for an undisclosed amount.
After the Chambers debacle, Jack Dorrian handed the reins of the family business to Michael, who has become a nightlife impresario in his own right.
In addition to The Falls, records show him owning the Park Avenue restaurant Barna and Dorrian's on the Jersey City waterfront. He also owned the now-defunct Page Six staple Rebar as well as Il Posta, which he has sold.

I'm thinking the owner of this bar is sitting around right now wishing the place had burned down that night -- with him inside it.
There's a fishnet of laws and regs that the bar owner was trying to shimmy through - from operating hours to employe screening.
If what I heard on the radio today is accurate, Littlejohn wasn't even being paid on the books.
I can see a defense attorney unraveling the fiber kicker very quickly. If he did it, hope they have much more on him than that.
I heard he property is owned by Geraldine Ferraro. (sp)
The DA is plastering the media with incriminating material to drive the process toward quick conviction.
I guess no more rap albums for him eh....
The property is owned by Geraldine's hubby...small world, eh?
Ha ha ha. This is New York State. What death penalty we had was overturned by the State Supreme Court as unconstitutional. I'm still wondering why he wasn't tried under the state's persistent felony offender statutes. If he's had three or more felony convictions, he should have been locked away for life. I know he had quite the rap sheet, but not sure how many times he was tried and convicted on previous charges.
I wonder if there will be a plea bargain in this case. I hate it when they do that because the criminal never gets the time for the crime he actually committed. Bet they try to get the guy to admit to it and plea guilty so it doesn't go to court.
