Candace Clark: "People need to use a little common sense."
Candace Clark, charged with ten felonies and a misdemeanor, started talking to the press on Friday and she kept yapping on Saturday.
Candace Clark, one of the four people charged with abusing a boy and killing the boy's mother, Tammie Garlin, said Saturday that the violence began shortly after Easter, when Garlin announced that she had a sexual fantasy about Clark.
"It all went downhill," Clark said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel at the Columbia County Jail. "All the violence started."
Clark also shed more light on her relationship with her boyfriend and co-defendant, Michael Sisk, saying Sisk was so controlling that he wouldn't even let her bathe alone. And she all but accused Sisk of being the one who strangled Garlin, saying she and the other two females charged with the murder are not "monsters."
"Can four people strangle a person? No," Clark said. "People need to use a little common sense. I think everybody knows who killed her."
Asked about Clark's comments, Ronald Benavides, the lawyer for Sisk, said Saturday: "I'm not going to make any comment. I don't think it's appropriate this early in the case."
Clark, who also gave an interview to the Journal Sentinel on Friday, cried and appeared distraught during the Friday night interview. On Saturday morning, she was sometimes curt but more calm.
The interviews also provided a glimpse of what life might have been like for the transient band of grifters, who lived together in Florida before landing in a Portage rental home in February because they wanted to "see snow."
...Clark is the only one of the four defendants to have given interviews. She said that while none of the four is innocent, "I'm doing this because, obviously, I have nothing to hide."
Although Clark has portrayed herself as someone who did not participate in Garlin's murder, a criminal complaint released last week does not absolve her of guilt.
Felicia Garlin told authorities that Clark had complained about people defecating on the floor of their Portage house and had said she intended "to buy a shovel" and bury Tammie Garlin and her son alive, according to the complaint.
...At first, life in Portage was tense, Clark said.
"Nobody really conversated with anybody," she said. And Clark said she would "get in trouble" with Sisk for little things such as playing cards with Garlin.
"If it wasn't his way, it wasn't no way," Clark said.
It was sometime after Easter, Clark said, when Garlin "blurted out one day she had a fantasy about me real bad. Everything turned for the worse. . . . There were several in the home that got mad."
Why does this woman keep talking to reporters?
I don't get it.
What is her lawyer thinking?
She's been charged with first-degree intentional homicide. This is serious stuff.
It's not the same as publicity whore Jesse Jackson talking about his arrest on Saturday.
Arrests like that are intentional, designed to draw attention to the crusader and the crusade.
It's a bad day for Cindy Sheehan when she protests and doesn't get dragged away by police.
Clark's case is completely different.
I know she says she's talking because she has nothing to hide.
If that's what she thinks, then she's really delusional and so is her lawyer.
I get the feeling that Clark has a Jerry Springer fantasy.
Maybe she's jealous of Paris Hilton. To my knowledge, Barbara Walters hasn't interviewed Clark.
And now, Larry King has snagged Hilton.
LOS ANGELES -- Paris Hilton plans to appear on CNN's "Larry King Live" on Wednesday night, a day after she's scheduled to be released from jail, a spokeswoman for King said Saturday. "We do have Paris on Wednesday," said the show's spokeswoman, Bridget Leininger. "She'll do the whole hour."
Hilton gets an entire hour to talk with Larry King about her jail stint.
What does Clark have to do to get King's attention and others in the national media?
She's talking about sex now. Usually, that draws them in like a magnet.
If Clark wasn't wearing jailhouse orange, I bet she'd be wearing an "I'm charged with murdering Tammie Garlin and all I got was this lousy t-shirt."
