Former state trooper twice convicted of murder to receive $450K settlement

NEW ALBANY, Ind. — A former Indiana state trooper who was twice convicted for killing his wife and two small children in 2000 will receive $450,000 from Floyd County, where he originally stood trial.

David Camm was acquitted and released in 2013 after a third and final trial in the death of his wife, Kimberly, and their children, Brad, 7, and Jill, 5. They were found shot to death in the family’s Georgetown, Indiana home in September 2000.

Camm was originally convicted of the killings in Floyd County in 2002. He appealed the conviction and was granted a second trial, which ended with the same outcome. That verdict was later overturned, and he was acquitted in 2013 after a third and final trial. Another man, Charles Boney — whose DNA at the Camm home later tied him to the crimes — was convicted of the murders in 2005 and sentenced to 225 years in prison. Boney testified during Camm's third trial that he saw Camm kill his family.

The case gained national attention as Camm spent a total of 13 years in prison, insisting he was innocent. But prosecutors said evidence in the garage of the family’s home — along with blood stains on his clothing — tied him to the killings.
