(Newser) – "Preppie killer" Robert Chambers, one of New York’s most infamous murderers, was sent back to prison for another 19 years after pleading guilty to drug-dealing, the Daily News reports. Chambers, who spent 15 years behind bars for strangling 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in Central Park in 1986, had been out of prison for 4 years when cops busted him for selling cocaine.
