Torture-Case Judge OKs Use Of Statements To Portage Police
Trial Set For July 7

PORTAGE, Wis. -- 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 said his review shows Candace Clark, 24, 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 Clark and Michael Sisk, 26, 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.
