The Yale lab tech, Raymond Clark III, accused in the murder of Yale Student Annie Le has been arrested. He’s being held on a $3 million bond. By using science and surveillance information, authorities were able to make the arrest. ABC News reported that the suspect had both defensive wounds and DNA matches.
There was a massive struggle between the 90 lb Le and Clark before she was suffocated. Her body was found this past Sunday, the same day that the 24-year-old Le was supposed to get married. The motive for the murder is still unknown.

“9500 Liberty” is directed by Asian American filmmakers, Annabel Park of Silver Spring, MD and Eric Byler of Gainesville, VA. You may know Eric Blyer as the director of Charlotte Sometimes and Tre. 9500 Liberty is Byler’s first documentary. Here’s a synopsis:
Prince William County, Virginia became ground zero in America’s explosive battle over immigration policy when elected officials adopted a law requiring police officers to question anyone they had “probable cause” to believe was undocumented.
9500 Liberty reveals the startling vulnerability of a local government targeted by national anti-immigration networks using the internet to frighten and intimidate lawmakers and citizens. Alarmed by a climate of fear and racial division, residents form a resistance using YouTube videos, blogs, and virtual townhalls, setting up a real life showdown in the seat of county government.
The devastating social and economic impact of the Immigration Resolution is felt in the lives of real people in homes and in local businesses. But the ferocious fight to adopt and then reverse this policy unfolds inside government chambers, on the streets, and on the Internet. 9500 Liberty provides a front row seat to all three battlegrounds.
