Murder On Lockhart Road

Bizarre Twists And Evidence Keep Turning Case On Its Head

(CBS)  During closing arguments, Henderson argued Camm not only had the opportunity to kill his family, he had a motive. "Well the motive was Kimberly was leaving David Camm and she was leaving him because of the child molesting," he said.

"What they want to do is throw anything they can up against the wall," Liell argues. "It's character assassination. If they had any evidence of it they would have charged him."

But Camm's lawyers pointed the finger at Boney, whose DNA and palm print were at the crime scene; they said police botched the investigation and from the outset were determined to get Camm, despite his alibi.

Jurors got the case. On the fourth day of deliberations, the jury found David Camm guilty of murder, again

Camm says he was "dumbfounded" and "shocked" by the verdict.

Jurors meticulously went through all the evidence and decided the defense didn’t add up, for the same reasons as the jury in the first trial. They believed those blood stains proved Camm was the killer.

Camm was sentenced to life without parole.

"Another thing that makes it more difficult is the fact that I did have that taste of being back with you know my brothers, sisters, cousins nieces nephews and being back with my family," Camm says of his brief taste of freedom. "And the bottom line is, one of the things that makes it the most difficult is the fact that I’m doing Charles Boney’s time."

But Camm has had two chances to prove his innocence and has never been able to persuade a single juror that he’s not a murderer.

"People have formulated an opinion, and they either believe in me or they don't. The people that believe in me are the same people that have always believed in me, and they require no convincing," he says. "There's one group of individuals that I'm concerned with right now, and that is the Indiana Supreme Court."

Camm’s lawyers are asking for a third trial but even he knows that’s a long shot.

For the Renn family the latest victory provides little comfort. They’ve always known who killed Kim, Brad, and Jill. They’ve never been sure why and even after six years and three trials, they still don’t. They still have trouble understanding what happened in the garage that bloody night.

"You always wonder, you want the whole puzzle put together," says Kim's father Frank Renn. "There’s a part missing and I’m not sure we’ll ever know the whole truth."
