'Preppie killer' is headed back to prison

NEW YORK (AP) – New York’s so-called “preppie killer” is headed back to prison.
Robert Chambers already served 15 years behind bars for strangling a woman in Central Park during what he said was rough sex.

On Monday, he pleaded guilty to selling drugs. The Manhattan district attorney’s office says Chambers is promised 19 years and four months in prison when he is sentenced on Sept. 2.
He and his girlfriend were charged with dealing cocaine out of their Upper East Side apartment in 2007.

Chambers became tabloid fodder in 1986 after the death of Jennifer Levin. The slaying was splashed across the headlines as the story of a handsome prep school youth gone bad. He pleaded guilty in 1988 to manslaughter and was released from prison in 2003.



Hmmm. 15 years for strangling a young girl, 19 years for dealing cocaine out of your apartment? There is something very wrong with the "system".
