QUESTION: What ever happened to the criminal case against the man accused of providing alcohol to a teenage girl who died of alcohol poisoning?

ANSWER: Michael Clark, 25, is facing trial in state court for promoting intoxicating liquor to five teenage girls, including Makamae Ah Mook Sang, during a party at his parents' Hawaii Kai home in July.

Ah Mook Sang, 15, of Papakolea, died July 30 of alcohol poisoning.

The Honolulu Medical Examiner said her blood alcohol content was 0.433. It is unlawful to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 or higher.

Clark's trial is scheduled for the week of Jan. 25. However, developments in his other criminal case could delay the trial.

He pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault and two counts of felony assault of a law enforcement officer for a fight at Ala Moana Hotel in 2007 and for kicking the Honolulu police officers who went there to arrest him.

One of the officers said Clark's kicks caused one of his knees to buckle backward. He said the injury forced doctors to remove a ligament and replace it with a portion of his hamstring.

A state judge was supposed to sentence Clark in September, but his lawyer asked the court for an evaluation of Clark's mental fitness.

His psychiatrist said the court proceedings have been difficult for Clark to comprehend given his learning disabilities and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, as well as “;the anxiety exacerbated by the 'reliving' of the trauma he has experienced.”;

Clark's mental fitness hearing is scheduled for Jan. 20.

He no longer lists his parents' home as his own address.
