Jason Chen Pleads Not Guilty To Murdering Jasmine Pace; State Preparing For Trial Next Year

The District Attorney's office is preparing for a trial of Jason Chen next year.

At an earlier bond hearing, it was testified that Ms. Pace had 60 stab wounds. Her body was stuffed in a suitcase that was found tossed on the side of Suck Creek Road last November.

Chen is charged with first-degree premeditated murder and abuse of a corpse.

Jason Chen was back in court on Monday for a motions hearing before his trial begins in June.

Catrina Pace was questioned thoroughly about her personal investigation and efforts to find her daughter after she went missing, a search that she says led her to Chen's apartment.

"Is it normal for you to break into apartments?" asked Chen's Attorney, Josh Weiss.

"No," answered Catrina Pace.

"And it's not normal for you conduct a search like this?" asked Weiss.

"It's not normal for my daughter to go missing," said Catrina Pace.

"Did you do anything to Jason Chen's apartment to make it appear incriminating that he had done something?" asked Weiss.

"No," answered Catrina.

"How did you know to go to apartment 210?" asked Weiss.

"Because his neighbor heard a loud distressed woman's voice, enough to put it on his note pad, and he told me he heard that three minutes before my daughter sent me the pin drop," said Catrina.

"What was you're reaction when you found those cards?" asked Weiss.

"I knew it wasn't good," said Catrina.

"Because he had lied to me. I found my daughter's stuff in his apartment and I knew he was key to helping me find my daughter," said Catrina.

His trial is scheduled to begin on March 15, 2024.

Chen is in Big Trouble, IMO.
If he did it, why, why why did he do it?
Prayers for her family during the trial. I cannot imagine...
