Re: 12/9/02 - AP: Yale professor suggest state take over Jovin case Yale professor suggest state take over Jovin case December 9, 2002 Associated Press NEW HAVEN, Conn. -- A Yale professor in calling for state investigators to take over the case of a Yale student murdered four years ago. Political science professor David R. Cameron says New Haven police have committed repeated gaffes in the probe into the stabbing of Suzanne Jovin. For more than a year, Cameron has called on the Chief State's Attorney's office to take it over. The office could take "a fresh look at all the evidence badly needed in a case that went astray by the fourth day of the investigation," Cameron wrote in an open letter to the New Haven Register. Both New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington and police Chief Melvin H. Wearing said last week they oppose handing off the case. Acting Chief State's Attorney Christopher Morano said he's not certain what purpose it would serve. "It's just a very difficult case no matter who investigates," Morano said. "He (Dearington) and his office are the appropriate people to be looking into the matter." Jovin, 21, a Yale senior, was stabbed to death the night of Dec. 4, 1998 near a street corner in the East Rock neighborhood. No one has ever been arrested in the case. A former Yale lecturer who was named as being among a pool of suspects a year ago sued the New Haven police department, alleging police violated his civil rights and destroyed his life by naming him a suspect. James Van de Velde, 41, said the police department's actions have damaged his reputation, his career and his health and have spread negative publicity about him around the world. Wearing dismisses suggestions that his detective bureau mishandled the investigation. ctnow.com is Copyright © 2002 by The Hartford Courant ctnow.com
