David Camm: Indiana: Ethics hearing of prosecutor in this high profile case continues. Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson is accused of negotiating a book deal leading up to the third trial, and then using taxpayer money to cover his legal fees. Camm was twice convicted of the murders of his wife and children, but he was eventually acquitted at a third trial. Charles Boney is now serving a life sentence for the crimes." WDRB:

"Tuesday brought the second day of testimony in the ethics hearing for Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson. Henderson is accused of negotiating a book deal leading up to the third trial, and then using taxpayer money to cover his legal fees. Henderson counters that there was never anything in writing. The hearing was moved to the state house in Indianapolis to allow David Camm's defense attorneys to testify. First on the stand today was Indianapolis attorney Stacy Uliana, who represented Camm in his second and third trials. The hearing started off pretty tame, but things got heated when Uliana was questioned about her personal relationship with Camm. She admits her sister did have a relationship with Camm after the third trial, but then stressed to us after testifying that this is not about any personal relationships, or even David Camm, for that matter. "This proceeding is about the harm that was done to the Floyd Count taxpayers, and about the harm that was done to my profession -- the legal profession -- by Mr. Henderson's conduct," Uliana said. "I felt then -- I feel now -- it was a trial tactic to get me off," Henderson said. "Kudos to them. They were successful. But it was certainly related to the appeal that was pending up at the court of appeals. But with that, I don't really want to say any more until after I testify.".........All of this stems from Henderson's handling of the high-profile David Camm case. Camm was twice convicted of the murders of his wife and children, but he was eventually acquitted at a third trial. Charles Boney is now serving a life sentence for the crimes."

He had been found guilty in two earlier trials, but these verdicts were overturned on appeal. Camm now works as a case coordinator for a non-profit wrongful conviction advocacy organization called Investigating Innocence that provides criminal defense investigations for inmates.........The case was covered extensively by the media in the southern Indiana and the Louisville, Kentucky area, as well as by national news programs including Nancy Grace, 48 hours, and Dateline.
