PUBLISHER'S NOTE:
During my recent seasonal retreat, the third trial of former Indiana state trooper David Camm on charges of murdering his wife and two children began. Although Charles Boney was convicted of the crime - after DNA evidence found at the scene was belatedly tested, prosecutors are trying to prove that Camm acted in concert with him. Boney is expected to testify for the prosecution. Readers would do well to read the comprehensive Wikipedia entry on the case for background; (It's a really good read! The entry can be found at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Camm.
Wikipedia notes that: "Thomas Schornhorst, a professor emeritus of the Indiana University School of Law, said the case has been overturned repeatedly because the state's primary evidence, the bloodstains, is "pretty thin stuff" and that they have pushed the envelope with other evidence because they feared not getting a conviction on bloodstain evidence alone.[2] In February 2009, the case was the subject of an episode of 48 Hours on CBS.[36]
The prosecution is thought to be about half way through its case - which is expected to last a couple of more weeks.
Hang on for what should be a most interesting ride as The Charles Smith Blog begins to follow the Camm case.
