NEW HAVEN — A former Yale University animal lab technician charged with murdering a female graduate student last month appeared briefly in Connecticut State Superior Court on Tuesday morning. Raymond Clark III, 24, the suspect in the murder of the 24-year-old student Annie M. Le, did not enter a plea, and a judge set a tentative date of Oct. 20 for a probable cause hearing. Mr. Clark stood clean-shaven and dressed in bright orange prison garb, his hands shackled in front of him, the short-sleeved jumpsuit exposing his tattooed forearms. Ms. Le was strangled on Sept. 8 and her body was stuffed into a wall of the lab where she worked. She was found five days later — on what was supposed to be her wedding day. Mr. Clark was arrested on Sept. 17, after forensic tests were conducted, including DNA obtained from him with a court order that matched DNA from the crime scene. On Sept. 17, a judge sealed the arrest affidavit for 14 days, in response to a request from state prosecutors who contended that unsealing it would impede the continuing murder investigation. Since then, Mr. Clark’s lawyers, Beth A. Merkin and Joseph E. Lopez, have also asked to keep the warrant sealed, saying its release would impede Mr. Clark’s chances for a fair trial. Read More. |
