Robert Chambers. This is a guy who women seem to be attracted to, indulging his desire to get in their pants. That he does… if only to get to their panties and wrap them around their neck… At least in the case of Jennifer Levin;, strangled and left lying dead on a Central Park hill in 1986.
The hard facts themselves didn't look good for Chambers. However, the defense position that this was consensual sex (it probably was) and the victim, being shown in court to have an active sex life; cast an interesting sexual double-standard… If Jennifer was having sex, then she must have wanted and been into asphyxiophilia (which Chambers claimed, along with 'self-defense') and 'things got a little out of hand' (more like 'tightened too hard for a too long-of-a-time' hand…)
The post-mortem said the compression on Jennifer's neck had to be quite 'substantial' in order to cause the death.
(Open the door for your 'Mystery Date'……….)
Not all men are pigs… but this guy's defense team were really strong in the running.
So Chambers is off to prison… there he serves almost the full 15 years of a 5 to 15 plea deal sentence; due to his assault of a guard, his drug use and weapons' possession.
He served 5 years in solitary confinement.
Jennifer's Mom is at every parole hearing.
Yesterday, Robert Chambers was arrested for selling 'voluminous' amounts cocaine from an apartment in Manhattan. Much of it to undercover New York Police Officers. He will no doubt die of old age in prison. Couldn't happen to a 'nicer guy'….
I believe that murderers are haunted by their victims. Not because the murderer has a conscience… but because the universe exists in equilibrium… and the unrested dead.. need to balance the equation..
