Questions (and answers)

[f_stills]

1. Did JH ever receive an engagement ring from RC? Or was the proposal just a verbal agreement?

3. Was he an academic or college prep major in hs?

1. We know from a now-deleted wedding planning website they-- or at least JH-- had an exact date in mind, early December 2011. As far as a ring or any other information about their wedding plans, I don't think much else has been released.

3. In terms of info about his high school academic performance, it's been found that in his last year in high school he made good enough grades to be distinguished with "honors"-- which is not the same thing as "honor roll." That means he did well enough to be commended for his grades, but was not actually in the top tier.

Has there been any news or info about a memorial service for Le?

 

[Kat]

A thread for quick questions, rather than discussion. (hope that's ok)

I'm not sure where to look to see if this has been addressed, but perhaps Labrat or someone would know... in his job as animal tech, would RC have been subject to drug testing? And if he would have been, would it only have been for 'recreational' drugs, or would he have been tested for steroids?

Debirlfan, I didn't see information published that addressed your question about drug screening, but I did find an article about the job screening process itself.

http://www.idsnews.com/news/story.aspx?id=70166

It may or may not help you find the answer you're looking for.

Also thought I'd bring this here, it is the website for the prescreening process for employment at Yale:

Yale fiance's NY synagogue plans memorial service

HUNTINGTON, N.Y. — A memorial service for the victim in the Yale killing is planned at her fiance's New York temple between the upcoming Jewish high holidays.

Cantor Sandra Sherry says Temple Beth El in Huntington wants "to create a private memorial service" for 24-year-old Annie Le.

Why was there a change in RC's lawyer(s)?

My assumption is because he went from being a person of interest in a murder investigation to a person charged with first degree murder (death penalty case).

Also, he asked for a lawyer when being questioned:

Cops and FBI agents interviewed the lab tech several times before Tuesday night. At one point, he stopped talking and asked for a lawyer, the New Haven Register reported.

I don't know whether David Dworski is his current lawyer but he was prior to his arrest and as of September 16.
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article6838658.ece

On Wednesday, attorney David Dworski confirmed he was representing Clark.
"[Neither] my client nor I will be making any comments. We are working and cooperating with authoritiies (sic) on this investigation," Dworski told ABC News.

Who is RC's new lawyer? It seems he has had David Dworski since the beginning.

The lawyer Clark hired to represent him in his dealings with police, David Dworski, is a solo legal practitioner whose general legal practice encompasses real estate DWI defense, foreclosure, wills and trusts, estates, criminal defense, personal injury and motor vehicle law. After graduating from University of Bridgeport School of Law (since renamed Quinnipiac University School of Law), Dworski opened a private practice. He notes on his website that he presented and won the first criminal DNA case decided by the Connecticut Supreme Court, expertise that may prove relevant if his client Raymond Clark is charged in the murder of the Yale graduate student.

Question:
If Raymond had help in concealing the body and/or cleaning up, could this "accomplice" be held liable (to an extent) for the cost of manpower, investigating, lab expenses, etc? It's a longshot, but I'm truly wondering b/c if somebody else knew, then they could have defrayed or prevented the long costly investigation. Anyone know? Didn't a hiker get lost in NH and authorities sued for the cost, or fined him, or something like that?

Attorney David Dworski declined to answer questions about the his client or the case, including whether his client denies having anything to do with the Le homicide.

He issued only a one-sentence statement: “We’re committed to proceeding appropriately with the authorities with whom we are in regular communication.”

Also, two New Haven public defenders, Joe Lopez and Beth Merkin, are providing assistance.

http://www.nhregister.com/articles/2...9632844012.txt

Found this:

Clark appeared in court with two public defenders. One of the attorneys, Joseph Lopez, said they would be handling Clark's case, which had previously been handled by a different lawyer. Lopez said he was still reviewing the case and declined to comment.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,551342,00.html?sPage=fnc/us/crime

Seems like he went from public defender to other public defenders and then added Dworski?

Dworski was only retained for the first round of DNA tests, and the 2 Public Defenders have been on the case since the arrest.

Who was the original public defender? (I'm assuming it was a public defender.) That may be the reason OHdoc is asking about a change in lawyers.

Does anyone know RC's denomination?..that is, if he has a religion... (not sure if it's even important)

 

[Jersey*Girl]

It's been stated that Raymond was obsessed with his green pen (that he used & carried everywhere). Psycologically speaking, is there anything in the psyche linking an off-balance to the color green? I mean, why green ink? Couldn't he have just been ok with a green pen that had black ink? Why green ink, that would stand out and be noticed? Is that why? Hypothetically speaking, that is ...

 

[Noway]

There is now a legal counsel thread.

Yeah I think that's it, black blue are common and red too glaring or inappropriate- so stand out and be different with green- be respected as different
Not sure about the psychological aspect of the colour green though

I hope not- green is my favorite color. It could be that he used it so the writing would stand out if he made notes on a cage card. I do that.

What was the purpose of the Asian Appreciation Club Clarke was a member of in High School?

 

[Turbododger]

How did Clarke get Annie's cell phone number to send a text to?

 

[Noway]

Conjecture on my part: Annie's cell phone was listed as part of the lab employee phone list and the high school Asian Appreciation Club focused on learning about the Asian culture.

Raymond's girlfriend worked in the same lab as him.

Link:

Snippet:
Hromadka, 23, described her live-in beau -- who works in the same Yale lab as her boyfriend -- as a gullible but loving guy who has eyes for no one but her.

[Sola.N]

My apologies if these have been asked and answered elsewhere. Here are my questions:

1. When did Annie Le and her fiance become engaged?
2. Which month and year did she arrive at Yale?
3. Did she have internships in summer semesters of both 2008 and 2009?

Basically, I'm trying to get at which months she would have been at Yale, when she would have been away, and when her engagement would've become known in her circle of acquaintances at Yale.
