Pan Qinxuan, the suspect who shot Yale Watson, requested case documents to be obtained in his personal cell and the judge dismissed it

[Overseas Chinese Daily reporter Yang Chengyu reported in New York on October 29] The shooting and killing of Kevin Jiang, a Chinese graduate student at Yale University, was again heard in New Haven, Connecticut, on the 29th. On the same day, the judge rejected the request of the suspect, Qin xuan Pan, a doctoral student at MIT, to obtain case documents in his personal cell, saying that according to the relevant policy, Pan Qinxuan must consult his case documents in the library in the correctional institution.

Norm Pattis, a lawyer on behalf of Pan, had previously requested the judge to allow Him to obtain documents about the case in his cell, receiving them directly from prosecutors through forensic procedures rather than sending them to the correctional facility's library. Mr. Pattis said Mr. Pan said "the library was controlled by some prisoners" and that he wanted to be able to view documents in his cell, which was private and protected to ensure they didn't fall into the wrong hands.

Judge Gerald Harmon, who declined to grant the request, noted that sending documents to the legal libraries of correctional institutions was a policy that said the courts would protect the documents to ensure That Pan had safe access, but that he was required to consult them in the library of the Cheshire Correctional Institution.

After the trial, Partis said he was satisfied with the documents handed over by prosecutors so far and again said there were "inconsistencies" in the case, while saying that he had now begun to review the case materials and found the evidence very favorable. Partis reiterated concerns about the identification of suspects in the case, saying witnesses initially reported that people of other races were also involved in the incident. The case was again heard on December 16.
