I have reassessed my position on the Walkman aspect. Though the perp claimed to have been trying to steal their walkmans, he is merely lying. He clearly targeted women wearing walkmans since they were easier to sneak up on and attack.
And with Chandra probably wearing a walkman, this made her a potential target of this perp.

Could be. But what are the chances that the perp would target walkers wearing walkmans so as to make off with their walkmans? Like the sentencing Judge said, this was very bizarre behavior. The Judge's instincts were probably sound: there was more going on in the perp's mind. Maybe rape. But in broad daylight? Robbery? Most walker/joggers don't carry a lot of valuables. This idiot could be a "Darwin Award" candidate. Who Knows. But the theory is too flimsey when compared with the circumstancial case regarding Condit's risk vis the relationship that had happened between he and Chandra. IMHO. Cheers.
