A D.C. Appeals Court board has recommended the lead prosecutor in the 2010 trial over the killing of Chandra Levy be suspended from practicing law in the city for 60 days, determining she withheld “crucial” evidence from defense attorneys.
The D.C. Court of Appeals Board on Professional Responsibility ruled Tuesday that Amanda Haines, a former assistant U.S. attorney, kept information from defense attorneys about a key government witness who testified at trial against the man authorities say killed the 24-year-old former Federal Bureau of Prisons intern in Rock Creek Park.
In 2009, authorities charged Ingmar Guandique with her murder, in part based on information from his cellmate, who claimed to have heard Guandique confess to the killing. Guandique, a former gang member and undocumented immigrant from El Salvador who had been convicted of assaulting two women in the Northwest Washington park, denied any involvement in Levy’s death.
The board determined otherwise — though it noted it was not convinced her actions were intentional. Haines was facing a maximum six-month suspension of her ability to practice law.
