stand to say he knew he messed up. i regret all of that stuff. it s so unfortunate the, disrespect that i showed my wife. but then god, we don t jump from that to saying that that automatically makes a person a murderer. it s ridiculous. then the defense had to confront the ugly allegation that the five-year-old daughter had been molested. it s simply stated, though, that the bruises were the result of bunch amara. the defense argued that the bruises happened during the attack. still, it was tough going. they ve got a guy who has a lot of girlfriends, there may be evidence of child molestations, this is a very tough thing to combat, david. it is, it s virtually impossible. having done its best to hammer the states case for a motive, the defense turn to physical evidence. the strongest evidence, the case for david s guilt, was the blood spatter. a defense expert testified that the blood got on the shirt very
in the deaths of kim, brad, and jill cam. he was sentenced to 225 years. and the prosecution team rejected any notion that boney acted alone. why? those tiny specks of blood. they were on david s shirt, but not on boney s sweatshirt. his shirt does not have high velocity blood spatter on it. so, a former indiana state trooper is now going to be a co-conspirator with a felon? yeah, makes sense? his story s the only thing you ve got that link him to david camm. there s no phone records. there s no one who s ever seen them together. there s no text messages. there s no smoke signals. there s nothing between david camm and charles boney. at david camm s second trial, boney was named as the other man at the scene, also charged with the triple murders. otherwise, the case against him was pretty much the same, absent the female witnesses the appeals court had thrown out. and this time the state focused on the allegation that david
first of all, within two weeks tops, they would have had boney. and fay pointed out other blunders as well. the heavy reliance on the blood spattered t-shirt. that is the physical evidence against david camm. of all of the crime scene possibilities, the most misinterpreted is blood spatter. you don t hang the entire case just on the interpretation of blood splatter. you ve got to have so much more. the theory of a staged sex crime was flat out wrong. they really never probed out the fact that it could be a voyeur or somebody with a panty fetish or somebody who is just sexually excited at the view of a woman s legs. someone, say, who fit the profile of charles boney. big problem, because the suspect that they don t know about, and won t know about for about five years has complete personality reflected in that crime scene up to the point of how kim was found.
and now the defense had fresh scientific evidence that boney actually put his hands on two of the victims. boney s story, of course, was i ran in. i i did this. i never touched anybody. clearly not true. there is something in the field of dna analysis called touch dna. lab experts use human cells to make an identifying hit on a suspect. touch dna from boney s skin cells was found on kim camm s sweater, her underwear, and on her daughter, jill s shirt. the dna conclusively proves that he absolutely fought with kim, that he touched jill. and the defense hoped its cross examination of boney would be still more proof. camm had to steel himself to watch boney on the stand. you re looking at him. right. there was no way for me to actually prepare myself for that. and it was a situation where i really had to think about what was at stake. and doing what was right in that moment. having to sit and there and look at this guy that i knew killed my family and not react. th
shirt. correct. if you got high velocity impacts better on the t-shirt, he has to be within four feet of the child at the time. that the child was killed. the prosecution believed that david camm shot from inside the car, targeting jill in the backseat. that s how her blood sprayed on his shirt. but why? why would david camm kill his family? the reasons for those killings, the prosecutor declared, was that david was a philandering husband. that was one of the first time that i heard him cry. remember kim s old friend, marcy? the prosecutor had her testify about an affair david head when kim was pregnant in 1994. she was called in tears to say that she and david were separated. soon after, marcy visited kim. she was upset. you know, and saddened by it, especially just having a baby.
