University President Richard Levin told the Yale Daily News that the employees peeked at the records soon after Le, 24, went missing on Sept. 8.

&#8220;We do try to enforce those rules but that doesn&#8217;t mean we shut people out from being able to get access to those records,&#8221; Levin said. An investigation into the misconduct is ongoing, he told the newspaper.

Former Yale lab tech appears in court; hearing set
6 days ago
<snipped>
The judge scheduled a probable cause hearing for Oct. 20, in which sides will have the right to introduce evidence and call witnesses. Under Connecticut law, defendants accused of murder have the right to the hearing within 60 days of their arrest to decide if the case will go forward.

Under state law, defendants charged with crimes punishable by death or life in prison do not enter a plea before a judge determines there is probable cause to believe they committed the crime. Defendants may waive their right to a probable cause hearing.

Clark's attorney, Joseph Lopez, said his client will plead not guilty after they decide whether to waive his right to a probable cause hearing.

The judge said he will also consider at that hearing whether to extend a sealing order on the police arrest affidavit in the case.

Lawyer: Suspect in Annie Le slaying to plead not guilty
October 6, 2009
<snipped>
"Raymond will enter a not guilty plea," Connecticut public defender Joseph Lopez of Bridgeport said earlier Tuesday.

The judge scheduled a probable cause hearing for Oct. 20, in which each side will have the right to introduce evidence and call witnesses, the AP said. Under Connecticut law, defendants accused of murder have the right to the hearing within 60 days of their arrest to decide if the case will go forward.

Records of warrants served against Clark have been sealed because of the police investigation, and the public defender's office wants them to stay sealed beyond the 14-day period initially ordered to avoid influencing potential jurors.

Courant Seeks To Have Documents Made Public In Yale Slaying Case
Oct. 6
<snipped>
Sources, however, have told The Courant that authorities used forensic evidence, including DNA that matched the suspect's found in the crawl space where Le's body was hidden and on evidence found in a ceiling, to link Clark to the crime. One investigator who was involved in the probe when it was still a missing-persons case said he saw Clark trying to hide cleaning equipment that investigators discovered contained blood spatters, sources said. And police used computer records showing that Clark was the last person to see Le alive in a room inside a laboratory as a basis for Clark's arrest, the sources said.

Paul R. Guggina, The Courant's attorney, said these disclosures could help the newspaper in its bid to gain access to the warrant.

"If the affidavit says there's a DNA match and it's already been publicized, how can you logically argue that disclosing that fact is going to hurt someone's fair-trial rights if it's already been disclosed?" he said.

Murder suspect returns to court; no plea yet
Carole Bass '83, '97MSL at 4:04 pm Tuesday, October 6, 2009
<snipped>
On Oct. 20 Lopez will report back to the judge on whether his client will waive his right to [a] probable cause hearing. At such a hearing, a prosecutor has to show there&#8217;s enough evidence establishing probable cause. Lopez said he&#8217;s still waiting on key information from police and other officials to inform that decision. If they think there&#8217;s damning evidence, defense attorneys often don&#8217;t see an advantage in proceeding. If the evidence is shaky, a hearing could stop the case. (Police say they accumulated over 300 pieces of physical evidence in this case.)
&#8220;I&#8217;m expecting boxes of discovery,&#8221; Lopez said. That includes interviews, forensic evidence, videotape, photographs, police reports, and a medical examiner&#8217;s autopsy report. All he&#8217;s gotten so far: one arrest warrant and several search warrants.

Lopez said Tuesday he needs to see more police records in the case before deciding whether to seek or waive a probable cause hearing.

&#8220;I&#8217;m expecting boxes of discovery (items). All I have now is the arrest and search warrant,&#8221; he said.

Lopez said he was not accusing the police of dragging their feet. &#8220;I just think they have a huge file to put together and copy for us.&#8221;

Asked how Clark is doing, Lopez said, &#8220;As well as can be expected.&#8221; Lopez declined to disclose anything about their conversations.

SEALED DOCUMENTS
Judge: Courant Can Seek Affidavits In Le Case
October 7, 2009
<snipped>
Judge Roland D. Fasano on Tuesday granted The Courant's motion to intervene, giving the newspaper a chance to argue against a request from Clark's public defenders to extend seals on the arrest and search warrant affidavits. Those documents contain information that led police to arrest Clark in connection with the slaying of Le.

"The public has a right to be heard," Paul R. Guggina, the Courant's attorney, said during Tuesday's brief court hearing for Clark.

Following Tuesday's hearing, judicial marshals whisked Clark from the New Haven courthouse in a motorcade of unmarked police cars and state Department of Correction vans, all with sirens blaring. Neither Le's family nor members of Clark's family attended the hearing.

Let's Expand Fifth Amendment Rights
October 07, 2009
<snipped>
Two days prior to his arrest for the murder of Yale medical Annie Le, Raymond Clark was picked up by the police, handcuffed, and detained for a while. Incidents like this, that take place on a daily basis, should be prohibited by the U.S. Constitution. The Fifth Amendment comes close, but &#8211; like they say &#8211; no cigar. No person who is not an imminent threat to public safety should ever be physically detained or restrained by the police, without having first been charged with a crime.

Slain Yale student becomes poster-child for workplace violence
Issue date: 10/8/09
<snipped>
There are many instances where tragedies fall under the media radar, and are mourned only by those in close proximity. Then there are those tragedies that become the hallmark of a generation, where the victim becomes the "poster-child" for advocacy and change.

Such is the case with Annie Le, the 24-year-old Yale student that recently disappeared and was later found dead.

According to the U.S Department of Labor Occupational Health and Safety Administration, workplace homicide accounts for the fourth-leading cause of fatal occupational injury in the United States. Statistics indicated that there were 564 workplace homicides in 2005, a number that is only steadily increasing with the downing economy and increasing pressure in the workplace.

Richmond policies help stop workplace violence
Published: October 8, 2009, 12:30 am ET
<snipped>
The University of Richmond&#8217;s policies regarding workplace violence have been structured to create an environment in which potential acts of violence &#8211; such as the one that led to the death of a Yale graduate student last month &#8211; are managed before they intensify.

Authorities in New Haven, Conn., recently called the murder of Yale graduate student Annie Le a result of workplace violence. The suspect in Le&#8217;s murder worked as a lab assistant in the same building where Le performed experiments.

Le&#8217;s death came at a time when workplace homicide appeared to be on a downward trend, according to statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. There were 1,080 workplace homicides in 1994, compared with 610 in 2007.
