Lisa Clark Rejects Plea Deal

(Hall County, Georgia) In the latest development of the Lisa Lynnette Clark and boy-husband saga, 37-year-old Clark was arraigned in Hall County Court this morning and entered not guilty pleas to charges of child molestation, statutory rape and enticing a minor for indecent purposes. Defense attorney Daniel Sammons said the terms of the deal were unacceptable. He did not elaborate.

Clark is being at the Hall County Jail where she returned mere days after after giving birth to a boy at the Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Ga. The infant, fathered by the boy-husband, is named Sky Cobain.

Sammons requested that Clark be allowed to send a baby bracelet to the boy-husband as a memento. Judge Bonnie Oliver denied the request since it violated the terms of the original court order forbidding contact between Clark and the teen-father. The 15-year-old father is in custody on a probation violation resulting from a burglary charge.

Clark is due back in court on March 15 for a motions hearing.

Apparently, the existence of a plea deal was supposed to be confidential.

From AccessNorthGa.com:

"We're not happy with the offer as it presently exists," Sammons said. "I won't discuss the terms of the plea offer unless and until we reach an agreement."

Sammons added he was not happy with Judy Hayles disclosure of a possible plea offer.

Hayles is the boy-husband's grandmother who has nothing positive to say about Clark. In fact, Hayles previously called Clark "a pedophile" and "scum of the Earth." Also, from Sammons:

"I think her enthusiasm unnecessarily complicates the case because it just stirs things up and it makes it difficult to be able to resolve things that need to be resolved."
