the little girl was seat belted on this side as you re looking in. tom bevel, a bloodstain pattern analyst, was an expert witness for the prosecution. in a bronco similar to the one owned by the camms, he demonstrated for us where he believes david was wedged inside the car to get those specks of blood on the bottom of his shirt. what s a likely posture for the shooter? would ve been leaned in somewhat like this in order to get the correct trajectory for her. now, i noticed your shooting hand is up pretty high. it is. is that an awkward shot? it s not necessarily awkward, but we have to go with the physical evidence. it is what it is. and the physical evidence isn t like this. but why so few spots? bevel said it s because most of the blowback hit the inside roof of the vehicle. like much of the other evidence, the blood spatter testimony was essentially the same as in the other two trials. what would be enormously different this time was the star witness. the jury
reporter: the defense insisted boney was the sole killer in the garage that night and that back in 2000, investigators ignored evidence pointing to the convicted felon. to make that point, the defense called damon fay, a veteran homicide detective who now trains police in how to conduct murder investigations. i don t like testifying against other cops. i m very uncomfortable with it. reporter: fay recited flaw after flaw in the camm investigation. the most significant, he said was the handling of boney s sweatshirt. when a homicide detective actually gets some physical evidence that it s got somebody s name on it and dna, you hug it, you love it. it is such a rare event. and they thought of it as an artifact. which in non-legal terms means move on, forget about it. this is nothing. well, that s right. it would have changed everything. first of all, within two weeks tops, they would have had boney. reporter: and fay pointed out other blunders as well. the heavy reliance
it is such a rare event. and they thought of it as an artifact. which in non-legal terms means move on, forget about it. this is nothing. well, that s right. it would have changed everything. 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 gotta 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 has 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

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 gonna 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, no one s ever seen them together. there s no text messages, there s no smoke signals, there s nothing between david camm and charles boney. reporter: 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
