NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A judge said he expects to rule later this week on whether to unseal documents detailing the case against a former Yale lab tech accused in the death of graduate student Annie Le.

Raymond Clark III, 24, is charged with murder in Le's death, but has not yet entered a plea.

His attorney appeared on his behalf Tuesday in court in New Haven, where Judge Roland Fasano continued the case to Dec. 21.

Le's body was found inside a wall in the Yale laboratory where both she and Clark worked. Her body was discovered five days after she disappeared, on her would-be wedding day.

On the day of Clark's arrest, a judge approved prosecutors' requests to seal the arrest affidavit for 14 days. Clark's attorneys then asked that the seal be extended, saying any information would hurt his chances of getting a fair trial. Clark's attorney wants the documents to remain sealed.

News organizations have asked Fasano to unseal documents detailing the case. Prosecutors in the case said Le's family would also like the records to remain sealed for privacy.
