A bouncer at The Falls, Darryl Littlejohn, is on trial for St. Guillen's murder. A day after she was missing, St. Guillen's naked body was found raped, beaten and wrapped in a comforter, dumped off the Belt Parkway in Brooklyn. The cops headed to The Falls to talk to Dorrian; the Daily News reports, "Danny Dorrian admitted telling cops he didn't remember St. Guillen...after leaving his bar, The Falls, on Feb. 25, 2006. He also conveniently failed to mention that ex-con bouncer Darryl Littlejohn escorted her out of the joint and was the last one seen with the beauty. 'I told them certain things and I left certain things out,' Dorrian conceded." Dorrian had asked St. Guillen to leave because it was closing time—and asked Littlejohn to escort her from the premises.
Dorrian's family owns Dorrian's Red Hand on the Upper East Side, which is where Robert Chambers met Jennifer Levin in 1986 before killing her in Central Park. Dorrian testified that he decided to tell the truth a week later. According to the Post, he called his dad about the investigation, "It looks like there's a situation down at The Falls, and it looks pretty serious. A young lady was murdered, and I think the police should look at my doormen because they would be the last people to see her alive."
LIttlejohn's lawyers will cross-examine Dorrian today; in opening statements, defense lawyer Joyce David suggested Dorrian was the real killer and that Littlejohn was being framed because Dorrian's family is wealthy and connected (his brother-in-law is Rudy Giuliani adviser Anthony Carbonetti).

The defense, whether they think Dorrian was involved or not or whether he's connected or not, seems to have little to go on. This conspiracy theory is just ridiculous. Littlejohn's personal dna and his family's dna have been found not only at the scene, but on the objects; blanket, plastic ties, carpet fibers etc. While I am not a fan of the Dorrian's I think the defense has nothing and Littlejohn, as assumed 3 years ago, is looking at life no parole on top of the other convictions.
His sense of entitlement probably made him lie to cops.
Dorrian definitely has something to hide, but again, he's not the one on trial.
Well, I guess it didn't work out too well for Dorrian anyway, since the Falls is now closed.
It's amazing that "Lie to Police" was the lesson that Danny Dorrian learned from the Chambers murder. A woman was raped and murdered, and all he can think about is "bad press." This family is a class act.
