Murder suspect: 'I was crying. I felt pain'
ROSEBURG, Ore. -- The second suspect in the murder of a Canyonville man more than two years ago is asking a judge to suppress some evidence.
Austin Montgomery Clark, 18, is accused in the bludgeoning death of Kevin Omann in September 2007 in a remote area near Tiller in southeastern Douglas County.
Omann's body was found on a road near Tiller, and the body had been there for several days.
On Tuesday, Clark's attorney asked Judge Randy Garrison to suppress some evidence that was gathered after Clark had told detectives he wanted to end the interview.
Clark took the stand Tuesday afternoon, and said when he was being interviewed by the police, "I felt they were looking at me as a suspect, and I was crying. I felt pain."
Defense Attorney Don Scales said questions continued to be asked, even after Clark had said he was ending the conversation.
Clark was 16 when he was arrested for the murder, but is being tried as an adult.
The other defendant in the case, Charley Carnes, also of Days Creek, has already been convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison.
Carnes claimed that Clark hit Omann in the head with an ax, and Carnes cut his throat to 'put him out of his misery.'
Clark's trial is set for February. Scales said he will file a motion for a change of venue before the trial.
