According to search warrants, two days before Clark was arrested, investigators found blood in plain view on the kitchen floor near the entrance to his apartment. The warrants do not specify the source of the blood. Authorities removed plastic door panels and carpeting with blood-like stains from the car in which Clark was riding in the hours after Le disappeared. Police say a green-ink pen found under Le's body had her blood and Clark's DNA on it. Police say that Clark signed into the secure building with a green pen on Sept. 8, the day Le disappeared. DNA from Le and Clark was also found on a bloody sock that was hidden in the ceiling (Yale Lab Tech Hit with 2nd Murder Charge, 2010).
The jurisdiction for this crime would be the State of Connecticut. The specific actus rea in this crime would be the act of strangling. The mens rea in this case would be present if the defendant intended to inflict serious bodily injury on the victim, even if there was no conscious desire to kill, if the defendant's actions did in fact cause the victim's death then the killing was with malice aforethought and thus a murder. If Clark did indeed strangle Le then he would have had the intention...
There has not been a lot of talk yet in this case about what the possible motive was for the killing although there has been some talk that Clark was upset with Le in regards to her treatment of his lab rats. Based upon the evidence that has been released I believe with the positive match of DNA that the police indeed has arrested the correct person.

Criminal Law and Psychopathy I. Introduction Various studies have in the past indicated that there is a high correlation between violence/criminal behavior and psychopathy. This would largely be expected given that psychological studies into the character and disposition of psychopaths has demonstrated that the need for control (or power) as well as egocentrism, which also happen to be the dominant character traits of psychopaths, are predictors for deviant or antisocial behavior.
