| Inmates Say Ex-Trooper Talked about Killings |

Three Indiana men who spent time in prison with a former state trooper testified that he had talked behind bars about the shooting deaths of his wife and two young children. Two of the inmates testified last week during David Camm's retrial on murder charges that he committed the killings because he was facing a divorce from his wife. The other testified that Camm had said he was having trouble sleeping because he could still hear his son saying, "Daddy, help me, please help me." Camm's defense lawyer, however, questioned the inmates' credibility, pointing out differences between their accounts and those of police investigators and asked them about their motives for testifying. Kimberly Camm and the couple's children, Bradley, 7, and Jill, 5, were shot to death in September 2000 inside the garage of the family's home near Georgetown. David Camm, who resigned from the state police about four months before the killings, was convicted in 2002 on three counts of murder and sentenced to 195 years in prison. The Indiana Court of Appeals, however, threw out the conviction in 2004, ruling that testimony about alleged extramarital affairs unfairly biased the jury against him. Inmate Jeremy Bullock, a convicted murderer, testified last week that Camm told him that he killed his family because "the marriage was not going well" and that he would have financial difficulties if there was a divorce. During Camm's first trial, 11 witnesses testified Camm was playing basketball at a church at the time of the killings. Prosecutors, however, have contended that he left the game, killed his family, then returned to church before later driving home and reporting the deaths. Bullock testified that Camm told him he believed the men he played basketball with would be convinced he was there through the entire evening even after returning from the shootings. Under questioning by defense attorney Katharine Liell, Bullock said he had watched a 2002 broadcast of the CBS show "48 Hours" with Camm when it focused on his case. Bullock also said he had asked his mother to tell the Floyd County prosecutor's office that he had been in prison with Camm. |
