12 years of legal fights weigh on David & Kim Camm's families

ROCKPORT, IN (WAVE) - It was back in a very familiar place for David Camm Monday -- a courtroom where he is moving toward a third trial for killing his family in Georgetown, Indiana in September 2000.

In Spencer County, attorneys argued about whether Camm should be released on bond, but it was very clear that after all this time, even a routine hearing like that, is another grinding step for all of those involved.

Thanks so much for posting the links to the interview, I think there is enough reasonable doubt for a NG verdict, I am unsure as to whether Camm had any involvement in the murders (think it is more likely he did not but can't fall completely off the fence into he is innocent)

I could never have voted to convict him, and I have always wondered if Boney's DNA had been found before the first trial if Camm would ever have been tried, Boney was only able to come up with the conspiracy theory because Camm had already been convicted,

and even then his story has more holes in it than swiss cheese

bond denied for Camm,

wonder what new prosecutors will tell jury motive was, as the two times he was tried previously he won his appeals on the fact that the motives (adultery and alleged sexual abuse of his daughter) should not have been presented to the jury,
 
what is going on at this point?? i have been trying to keep up, but there are just so many cases to follow :/ has his third trial started? ended? i can't believe kim camm's family has been going through this for over 12 years now....

third trial not started, no date has yet been set, he applied for bail but it was denied,

I am wondering what the state will say his motive was, and I think I have fallen off the fence to think he probably was not involved in the murders of his family
 
thanks for the update, so the third trial will be just post the 13 year anniversary of the murders,

I am hoping for a NG this time round, I do not think there is enough evidence to reach BARD,

ACK!!! I just heard that this trial is going to take place HERE!! The courthouse is two minutes from our home, and my youngest works part-time at a restaurant across the street. This is going to be a flipping circus!

You may just find yourself on the jury!

Lebanon is a nice city, we bought a truck at a local dealer there a few years ago. I would like to attend the trial but it is too far away for me, at least a 2 hour drive one way. :(
 
Interesting article on the price of justice in the Camm case:

They have hired forensics experts, notably Manassas, Va.-based Academy Group, for $350 an hour, to review the case. The consulting firm has billed for at least 104 hours and $36,500, according to auditor’s records, but Kammen said late last month that he has since “fired” the firm. He declined to say why.

Still, Heavrin and Bush agree that paying to resolve the murders of Kimberly, Brad and Jill Camm is the right thing to do.“In the end, we need to remember it’s not about the bills,” Bush said. “It’s about the deaths.”

From your link....Cant the DOJ offset some of this? I mean, this is a special circumstances murder I would think. Murder for hire, first degree murder, murdered children....
 
There seems to be grant money available from the DOJ-I am sure the county has already applied for it. This reminds me of the FICA trial in OC FL-some of the defense expert expenses were truly impressive.

I'm surprised that Camm has had two convictions overturned, mainly because I find the key evidence that convicted him to be so powerful and the affairs/molestation to be minor in light of the forensics.

Rob Crowell, the jury foreman in Camm's second trial, says he isn't surprised by the state Supreme Court's ruling, but he is upset.

Crowell says he is disappointed that the court chose to overturn what he believed was a calm, rational, well deliberated decision by him and his fellow jurors.

The last time Crowell was in the public eye was in 2006, shortly after he and 11 others found Camm guilty of killing his wife and two children. Now that decision has been overturned, Crowell says he has "deep sympathies for the Renns (Kim Camm's) family. I can't imagine what they are going through with this, with this decision."

The Indiana Supreme Court ruled that evidence introduced during the second trial suggesting Camm molested his daughter, Jill, may have unduly influenced the jury.

Crowell said it helped pinpoint a timeline, but did not lead to the conviction. "It eliminated the possibility that there was the sexual motive for the murders, which we considered to be the strongest story line from the defense on the motive of Charles Boney," he said. "We didn't think he was there by accident. He didn't just stumble across that house in the middle of nowhere because he was arbitrarily a killer. We were trying to understand what happened."

Crowell said the jury believed Boney served as an accomplice and Camm as the triggerman.
