A preliminary examination for a former Constantine
reserve police officer charged with lying in testimony he gave to prosecutors
investigating the 2007 death of 11-year-old Jodi Parrack was postponed last
week for a second time.
The attorney for defendant Raymond McCann II
requested postponement and the matter has been rescheduled for July 9 before
District Judge Robert Pattison.
McCann has been in the St. Joseph County Jail since
his arraignment on the perjury charge April 19. He is being held on $ 225,000
bond.
A Michigan State Police arrest affidavit alleges
McCann lied in sworn testimony he gave during a September 2012 prosecutor’s
investigative subpoena, part of a cold-case probe into Parrack’s homicide.
McCann
has not been charged with the homicide, but investigators say he has been a
person of interest since Parrack’s death in November 2007.
