He noted, "The events of September devastated two families and shocked a nation. No parent can imagine or prepare for losing their daughter to violence or to having their son commit such a horrible crime. Clark said his son was raised in "a loving and supportive household" and was a good son. This is not the Ray we know and raised; we can't explain or make sense of this. He added, "I know that we will never understand, as I know that Ray does not understand, how this could have happened.
Le's mother described her daughter as "a beautiful, brilliant young woman. I only see my Annie in my dreams. Le's father said he hoped that as a result of his daughter's death, "there will be greater security provided for all students on campus as well as safer working environments. One of Le's uncles, Robert Nguyen, who raised Le, read a statement by his wife, Tuyet Bui: "I wish to ask this court to sentence Raymond Clark to forfeit every day of his natural life, as Annie did at his hands, and nothing less in prison.
Le's cousin, Ryan Nguyen, said the family had looked forward to "sharing and celebrating the happiest moment" of Le's life at the wedding.
Superior Court Judge Roland Fasano said, "The suffering, the anguish of the families is heartbreaking. Fasano imposed the sentence: "For murder, 44 years to serve. Not familiar with any details of the incident prior to our discussion, McGee immediately asked if there was any known prior antagonism between Le and Clark when he heard about the sexual assault evidence.
Rather than an act of lust, that type of assault is often the result of pent-up rage, he said. It was sent only to him, requesting that the News post a bulletin about the missing girl on its website as soon as possible.
Kaplan complied, but he did not think much of the notice at the time. At the time, I was a sometime-Production and Design contributor, which meant that I had absolutely no idea what writing an article was all about. What I did get to do, however, was stay late at the building and watch the editors navigate a campus-wide crisis.
Although I would like to attribute this perfect track record during the Le coverage to the superior journalistic ability of News reporters and editors, the fact is, members of the Yale community simply possessed a level of sensitivity that other media sources lacked. As everyone craned their necks to hear, Zapana made a deal with the anonymous source that he would provide the initials of the suspect and he or she would either confirm or deny.
This moment of journalistic success, Kaplan said, made the long hours worth it. Although I only witnessed Kaplan and his contemporaries building front pages at 2 a. For better or worse, Kaplan became the face of the Yale student body during the incident, as he regularly appeared on nightly newscasts, Nancy Grace, the Today Show, and Inside Edition to give updates on the case.
Two weeks of this schedule eventually took its toll on Kaplan: he dropped two classes that semester. His responsibilities did not allow for him to attend any of the vigils or the memorial for Le, he said, admitting that covering that component of the story would have been more emotionally trying.
Was she seriously hurt? Was she still alive? It was when Lorimer emailed me this recollection, just before I sat down to write this piece, that I realized I had been wrong all along.
He also revealed that while Le was alive, her jaw and collarbone were broken, and she sustained bruises to the back of her head. Strollo outlined extensive forensic evidence, including lab test results showing Clark's and Le's DNA on a bloody sock found above a ceiling tile in the lab's basement.
Clark's movements the day of Le's disappearance were precisely tracked by the use of his computer entry cards to rooms in the lab building. Strollo said Clark entered two of those rooms, including the room where Le was killed, many more times than on previous days. Strollo recalled that during the search for Le, another Yale graduate student showed police a box of "wipe-alls" with what appeared to be a blood splatter. The box was on a steel pushcart in Room G13, where Strollo said Le was murdered.
Tests showed traces of Le's blood on the wipes. A police officer said Clark had come into the room and moved the box of wipes so that the blood splatter could not be seen. The officer said Clark returned later and scrubbed a floor drain. Strollo also noted that when police asked Clark why his face was scratched, he told them his cat had done it. When Fasano asked Clark if Strollo's account of the murder was accurate, Clark, almost inaudibly, said, "Yes. Merkin said it was true "for the most part.
Co-counsel Joseph E. Lopez reminded Fasano that the attempted sexual assault plea was made under the Alford doctrine, in which a defendant does not admit guilt, but concedes there is enough evidence for a conviction at trial.
He remained under constant surveillance after he was released early Wednesday and found a room at the Super 8 motel in Cromwell, Conn. Wedding 'not to be' The New Haven Register printed a rare extra edition announcing Clark's arrest, wrapping it around Thursday's daily newspaper and selling it on the streets, editor Jack Kramer said. Yale President Richard Levin released a statement shortly after the arrest, saying Clark's employment history raised no suspicions.
It says more about the dark side of the human soul than it does about the extent of security measures," Levin said in a message sent to the Yale community. The family of Le's fiance, Jonathan Widawsky, issued a statement Thursday, thanking people who were involved in preparations for "a wedding that was not to be.
Clark was taken to the New Haven Correctional Center, a high-security state prison for people awaiting trial. His next court date is Oct.
That adds to the grief," he said. IE 11 is not supported.
