PORTAGE - A woman's statements
to police investigating a torture and death case in
Portage may be used at her murder trial.
Circuit Judge Alan White
says his review shows Candace Clark wasn't impaired by a
lack of sleep, food or medication, and the questioning by
a Portage detective was proper.
White's eight-page decision
denied Clark's motion seeking to rule out the use of those
statements when she goes on trial July 7.
Charges against the
24-year-old Clark and 26-year-old Michael Sisk include
first-degree intentional homicide, hiding a corpse and
child abuse.
Clark contended at a
motions hearing last week that she was confused from a
lack of diabetes medication, food and water when she gave
statements to police after her arrest.
