CT - Kevin Jiang, 26, Yale grad student, fatally shot off campus, New Haven, 6 Feb 2021 *ARREST*

In my opinion, this was about the girl all along. Por girl, I can’t imagine how horrible it was for her too.

NEW HAVEN — The case of Qinxuan Pan, accused of the slaying of Yale graduate student Kevin Jiang, was continued again during a short hearing Thursday, with plans to either hold a probable cause hearing or move forward with the matter.
Judge Gerald Harmon set Sept. 6 as a date for the hearing during brief court proceedings on Thursday.

Attorney Kevin Smith, representing Pan, agreed to the date, saying the legal team would inform the court if they planned to waive their client’s right to the hearing.

They let this guy out for even 1 day and he will be in China so fast, heads will spin. When the US Treasury is flagging large wire transfers to the family from as far back as 2014 …

I can't believe how long many cases are being drug out for such extended periods of time. Over a year since the arrest, no plea entered yet, no probably cause hearing held ... .

Stalling it out. I’m not sure they know what to do with this guy. Lots of circumstantial evidence, maybe a suggestion of obsessive unrequited love, and a virtual guarantee that this guy has eight figures’ worth of disappearance firepower behind him if ever gets out for even one day. This case is extremely difficult to try. Wonder how the girlfriend is doing, I hope well, what a life destroying event for her (not sleuthing her).

Pattis also acknowledged that he could have made the motion six months ago.

“I wish you had,” Senior Judge Jon M. Alander said.

Seems like there are more things that his attorney doesn't get..

He said he doesn’t know a motive his client would’ve had for the crime.

I get the feeling that Pan is being uncooperative with his own defense attorney.

 

[caradana]

This case is so complicated by the fact that he’s got virtually unlimited resources to escape the US and China would never extradite him back. Confiscating his passport won’t matter. If this guy ever sees the free light of day again, he is gone, and everyone involved knows it, including his attorney and the judge and the family and friends of the victim. They really have no room to make any legal missteps.

The guy is high price ambulance chaser who's career is made in defending the worst scumbags like Alex Jones

If he gets out he's going to China, it doesn't matter if his passport gets taken away.

Supervisory Assistant State’s Attorney Stacey Miranda and Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly Davis called a total of five witnesses to the stand in an effort to convince the judge that Pan more likely than not committed the murder he’s been charged with.

Can't seem to find any info on if the trial took place in October or not... I'm guessing not since according to the inmate records search it lists Pan as "not sentenced"
