now we just have to wait for the reason behind the murder..hope the fat & lazy americans can do it fast
Like I said in the other post, glad and relieve the case is somewhat solved. I believe there is/are accomplice/s in this case. There is no way a normal (presumably) guy can walk out the building as if nothing has happened after committing a murder and live on during the five days of Annie's missing without telling someone about it. The guy has family members and fiancee working in the same building and the fact that weird things happened on the very day of Annie's missing is a sign to me. I hope the police will further investigate the case and not let this slide by so easily. I want and hope that all those involved will be brought to justice. Of course, nothing will bring Annie back but at least, justice is served.
You know, looking at this from the perspective of human emotions, I wouldn't be surprised if there was lust mixed with a high degree of professional jealousy involved here. Both victim and assailant were 24 years old. However, one was stunningly attractive as well as on the fast track for career advancement while the other is fairly unmemorable, who is looking at a life of cleaning rodent cages for those like her. The man probably had a lot of personal rage bottled up within. Some random encounter with her (a perceived slight perhaps), probably triggered its release, and before he realized it, she was dead. I would not be surprised if they start talking temporary insanity defense here. -rolleyes As for possibility of others acting in concert; aiding or abetting before, during or after the fact; that's rather up in the air at this time. Apparently, the police for some reason, had him under surveillance and kept him on their Persons of Interest list. So whatever he was doing, he wasn't acting "normal" enough for the cops, who I believe did a really spectacular job. It was only 8 days ago that the victim went missing. From that point, they cops found the body, and made an arrest in about a week. For murder investigations, that's pretty much a slam dunk.
Very true but this wasn't a very difficult case since the area is limited to only certain individuals. It's just a matter of collecting enough evidence to press charges. I hope the police will not stop just because they have an arrest. Like I said before, I'd like see all those involved brought to justice. You may be right about the mixed of lust and professional jealousy since they're both about the same age. You're technically looking at a white trash and a future star sorta speak. What I don't get is what could have pushed him over the edge to strangle her right before her wedding. I am sure everyone in the lab probably knew that she's getting marry soon. He appeared calm in the pic and vid of his arrest; no guilt or remorse. You know what's funny is that during the entire time Annie's missing, I have yet to see her fiance come out and ask for help from the public. I know he's probably going through a tough time now but I felt he should've been more aggressive about finding her; before her body was found.
It appeared as if the New Haven police is letting things slide a bit here .. perhaps it's just my reaction. The police keeps insisting that there was no "jealousy/lust" involved, just a simple case of work violence. Up to now, there still have not found a motive for the killing. Without a strong motive; just a simple violence outburst at work; not premeditated murder, and no strong history of criminal record, I am sure the guy will get a very light sentence for the charges. I personally think the police should investigate from all angles and not focusing in one person and one reason.
A very light sentence for murder? I hardly think so. There's a very interesting article in today's New York Times (same as International Herald Tribune) in which they note that the perpetrator was known to be especially and overly officious in his duties and dealings with the researchers; which the victim was. Again, perhaps this was his personality's way of being something more than what he was not, and maybe she called him on it, and he totally lost it. eg: I'm not saying that that is exactly what happened, but the possibility does exist for such a scenario. And yes, you do seem to be more emotionally affected with this case for no apparent reason.
Well without a motive and it's not premeditated, it's not really consider "murder" per se but manslaughter and that charge will result in about 15-25 years in prison. That's not justice to me. I want to see the guy get locked up forever or even get the capital punishment. We have to be responsible for our action and in this case, whether it was out of rage or not, you don't kill someone. I wonder how he was able to sleep during the time that Annie was missing and people were searching for her. Seriously, did he really think he could've gotten off the hook knowing that the area has limited access? Sigh .. Anyway, I think I feel strongly about this case is because it somewhat remind me of Vincent Chin's case in which justice was never served .. why? racism. I am worry because this happened in Connecticut and at Yale, the guy might get a lenient sentence. As much as I hate to say it but realistically, VC's case can repeat itself even today.
I noticed that many here are first name basis with the victim, for what reason, I don't know. Next, this is in no way like the VC case, which was a gross miscarriage in justice because of the lenient sentencing. So, where's the lenient sentencing here? In fact, they don't even have a guilty party yet; they've only just arrested a SUSPECT.
True .. the guy is innocent until proven guilty but based on what's out and the direction the NH police's taking .. that lenient sentence is sure to be so if he is convicted of Annie's death. First name basis .. lol .. easier .. writing Miss. Le or whatever is too long .. .lol You know I still shock the "judge" of VC's case can get off like that knowing that justice was never served and no one ever did anything about it. Anyway, whether this case will travel down that route or not, we shall wait and see how everything will play out later. I am sure to follow up on the case.
I don't know what support you have for such a statement, but I certainly don't see that. Also, IMHO, "Le's death" is a lot easier to write than "Annie's death," however it is a lot less personal. You seem to prefer the latter. So you certainly didn't choose to refer to her death using her first name over her last name for expediency's sake. Mind, I'm not criticizing, just stating an observation. Generally, people who become too emotionally involved in a case have skewed opinions to the point that they become very poor judges. I suspect that this may be happening to you. Let's change up a bit; what do you think about the Chinese guy that chopped that guy's head off on that Canadian bus last year? Do you think the authorities were being too lenient or too tough? http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/br...-responsible--40781652.html?viewAllComments=y
well, le's and annie's .. the latter sounds more familiar for me .. english sorta way .. i am not used to writing vietnamese language even though i am partially one. .. my last name is filipino/spanish so yeah .. lol i don't think i am emotionally involved in this case .. even though it may appear that way ... as for the case with the bus guy, yeah, i think it was lenient too. i believe that when you commit the act (beside self defend kinda way), you should be locked up in prison or get the capital punishment and i prefer the latter for them.
