Q: May I ask you, was it a sexual relationship?

A: Well, Connie, I’ve been married for 34 years, and uh, I’ve not been a, a perfect man, and I’ve made my share of mistakes. But um, out of respect for my family, and out of a specific request from the Levy family, I think it’s best that I not get into those details uh, about Chandra Levy.

*

Q: Can you tell me this: Was Chandra Levy in love with you? Were you in love with her?

A: Well, I don’t know that she was in love with me. She never said so. And I was not in love with her.

*

Q: Did you reveal [to police] that you were having an affair with her?

A: No, she did not.

*

Q: You don’t think you’re stonewalling?

A: No, I don’t think I’m stonewalling at all. I think that people expect that you can maintain some of your privacy. I think the Levys expect to maintain some of their daughter’s privacy. And I’m trying to honor that. I’m trying to do that with dignity. I, I’m trying to retain some privacy for my family and for their family. And I think your jurors [sic] out there will understand that.
