What are your thoughts on the reversal of David Camm's triple-murder conviction?

Let me get this right, now not only is there a way one is supposed to act when their family is brutally murdered , there is also a way they are supposed to look. Right, okay. It is so easy to judge when you haven't experienced something for yourself. I've heard alot of people say what they would or would not have done and the only thing I cant help but to thinks is that you have no idea. Let's take me for example and the way I responded to the tragedy at hand. The night I was told what had happened I didn't believe it. I thought there was a mistake, that maybe they were just hurt and not dead. the whole situation was surreal. Was it wrong of me to be in denial because that was my automatic response before i cried , before i screamed i told everyone that there was a mistake. it just wasnt adding up. So I'm sorry that maybe our family doesnt look like what you all think we should or we dont do the things you think we ought to. but what no one seems to understand is you dont know until it happens to you, even as cliche of a statement as that is, it couldnt be more true.

Well, well, Fat Stanley threatened and intimidated a witness in an attempt to get her to commit perjury. Makes one wonder if he succeeded in getting other witnesses to testify the way he wanted instead of testifying to the truth, and what evidence he may have hidden. Indiana Code defines this as witness tampering, a Claa D Felony. Mr. Faith was the elected Prosecuting Attorney. As such he represented all the people, including the defendant, and has an ethical duty to search for the truth. But I suppose that after rushing to judgment and arresting Camm prior to completion of the investigation he was no longer interested in the truth. I guess when you are running for re-election it is more important to get a conviction than to get at the truth. It is obvious that once Camm was arrested he wasn't looking anywhere else. If he had been he would have run Boney's DNA (after the defense discovered it) through the government data bank and his presence at the murders would have been known prior to the first trial. Doesn't anyone find it an interesting coincidence that Faith subsequently represented Boney in Bloomington? I certainly do. As to Mr. Henderson, it will be interesting to see if he takes his duty seriously. With the sworn testimony of a very credible witness he certainly has probable cause to bring a charge of witness tampering. Does he have what it takes to do his duty? Probably not.

Casey, I agree with your "arrogance and conceit" analysis. Camm definitely has big-time issues with the female gender. Why else would he "get blood droplets on his shirt from reaching OVER Jill to pull Bradley out of the Bronco"? His own daughter . . . tsk tsk tsk. Why not pull her out first if she's RIGHT THERE?!

I still don't see family or friends defending the insurance fraud by David and Danny that went on before these murders. Women and $$ - plenty of motive for a person with such arrogance.

for TaraS, Kimberly took care of the business of life insurance and bill paying at home. She was a trained business person. She did all the business with Danny Camm. She signed the insurance papers despite what the rumors and accusations claim. Kimberly made a much higher salary than David. What life insurance David would gain by Kimberly's death would last little more than two years compared to Kim's yearly earning power. David had nothing to gain by the children's death, other than to pay for the funerals.

Soooo...Boney's found guilty. Now thats a shocker isn't it...NOT! Ol' uncle was sure quick to say that the real killer is in jail now. I wonder if he's given much thought to Boney's charge of CONSPIRACY. CONSPIRACY with WHOM I wonder. DUH !!!!

Sir, you should know, as you indicated, that you haven't seen all the evidence and therefore you shouldn't be makeing conclusions. Stan Faith knew who Backbone was from day one. He defended him years ago everytime he got into trouble.He is a longtime family friend. He got Boney's mother her job at Ceasar's casino boat. Faith was covering for Boney. Boney's signature was all over that crime scene. However, there is not one thing, not one piece of evidence to link Boney to David Camm except Boney's ever changing story. David has never lied about Boney. His story has never changed. Boney's final version is that he bumped into David on the day of the murders and it was then they decided to kill Dave's family. As a trained investigator doesn't that sound plausible? Sure it does.

When a person takes the time to look at this situation with their intellect and not their emotions, and also takes the time to find out what isn't on tv or in the paper they will always come to the conclusion you have. Thank you for taking a closer look.

How have the Renns been vilified by the Lockharts? If you are a Renn you know that isn't true.

Why do you feel the need to throw stones at the Camm and Lockhart families? If you believe David Camm is guilty, can't you just say that? What evil have these families done to you that you feel you must pounce upon them like a vulture feeding off a dead animal. These families have lost three loved ones in the most brutal way. They have a fourth one in prison. Isn't that enough punishment for whatever crimes they have committed against you?

Wow! Im so glad Boney was found Guilty. Now if Stan Faith whom was running for office last time would have checked out the sweatshirt that was found at the scene at the first trial maybe this 2nd trial wouldnt be going on. Putting both sides of the family thru all this again has got to be a nightmare. For all you people out there that are so quick to judge David Camm put yourself in his shoes and if you were actually innocent and everyone in New Albany felt you were guilty that would be just awful, now wouldnt it? Did you ever look at it his way? Think about this, How on earth could David Camm be playing Basketball with all those guys and they not notice he left? They all said he never did. And lets say if he did leave, to meet Boney at his house, he couldnt go home kill his family in that length of time, clean up the crime scene and then return to play Basketball like nothing happened. Come on people! Boney was a Nut about Women, something about their feet he liked, how stupid could he be. Also, if I had been a former cop and I found my family dead when I got home, I dont think it is so odd that Camm would call his former guys he had worked with. Hey when OJ killed his family he never did ask if they were looking for the killer. I found that odd and he got away with murder because of his $$$$$$$. I dont see anything wrong with the way Camm reacted. No one knows how they would react unless it happened to them. Im not a realtive of Camms, Im not a friend. I dont know him personally. I know people who do know him and none think he could of done this. If this Jury finds Camm Guilty I will be Shocked. Just My Thoughts, KN47172
