Yale suspect’s lawyers want warrant sealed longer
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Attorneys for the lab technician accused of killing a Yale University graduate student have asked the court to continue to keep his arrest warrant affidavit sealed from public view.
Public defenders for Raymond Clark III filed a motion Thursday in New Haven Superior Court to extend an earlier order to keep the affidavit sealed.
The affidavit was originally to be sealed for 14 days, until Oct. 1.
Clark’s attorneys and state prosecutors did not immediately return calls seeking comment.
Yale student Annie Le, 24, vanished from a research building in Yale’s medical school complex on Sept. 8. Her body was found hidden in a wall recess five days later, on what was to be her wedding day. Clark was arrested Sept. 17.
