The Brooklyn grand jury is still hearing evidence for the Imette St. Guillen murder, with prosecutors looking for an indictment against Darryl Littlejohn, a bouncer at the Falls, which is the last place St. Guillen was seen. The Post says that the DNA evidence that links Littlejohn to ties found around St. Guillen's hands will be presented today. Gothamist found it interesting that the Post described that evidence as cracking the case "wide open," since most of the other evidence is circumstantial. Littlejohn's lawyer, Kevin O'Donnell, has been very vocal about how he does not think his client will get a fair trial - as well as how the police evidence is not very strong.
The NY Times looks at past court and parole transcripts from Littlejohn's criminal history to get a sense of him. And the Daily News has a column by Richard Cohen which suggests, given the many recent deaths involving people who had been drinking (police officer Eric Hernandez, Natalee Holloway, St. Guillen), that the problem may be people think "getting drunk is, really, cool."

'...the problem may be people think "getting drunk is, really, cool."'
What an incrediblty conservative world we live in nowadays. As my man Homer would say:
"To alcohol! The cause of--and solution to--all of life's problems."
getting drunk is really, really cool.
Getting drunk can lead to feeling like you are going to puke while riding the subway or worse.
I do not know how police are so confident that they can win the case when there are still so many doubts. Even in such a high profile case, they dare to do such a sloppy job. I can imagine what kind of jobs they do in cases that are not well known to the public.
In some cases, such as drunk driving, you can blame the driver's lost of life on the driver being drunk. But in Imette's case, I don't know how you can blame her for the lost of her life. No one has the right to kill someone else just because that person is drunk.
it should, however, serve as a warning to people to a) travel in groups and b) be aware of your surroundings and c) be more wary of the kindness of strangers.
Blame the police? Try blaming Dorrian! The prick waited a week to tell the truth and by then, this Littlejohn scum had time to erradicate any evidence of his crime.
I hope this thug is some bad man's bitch when he goes to prison for this. Just imagine what he put that woman through before he suffocated her with packing tape. Disgusting.
Getting drunk is perceived as "being cool" by the stupid media and American soceity.
I think having 1 or 2 drinks is cool to relax but having 5-10 drinks for a female is just dangerous.
nothing cool about getting raped, taken advantage of, not remembering the next day why your cell phone was stolen and how you got a black eye.
