STORY: "David Camm to sue Floyd Co. and Indiana for $30M," by reporter Stephan Johnson, published by WDRB on May 1, 2014.
SUB-HEADING: "David Camm was twice convicted of murdering his wife and children, but was acquitted in a third murder trial last year."
GIST: "Camm is a former Indiana State Trooper who was twice convicted of killing his wife and two children in the garage of their Georgetown, Ind. home in Sept. 2000. But both those convictions were overturned on appeal and a third jury found him not guilty in 2013........."The monetary amount that we included in our tort claim is $30 million," said Louisville attorney Garry Adams, who is representing Camm in his civil suit against Floyd County and the state of Indiana......... The tort claim is a prelude to a civil lawsuit, which states Camm was "the victim of an unlawful investigation, arrest, imprisonment and malicious prosecution at the hands of Floyd County." "Anybody's name that is included in this tort claim notice is a potential defendant," said Adams. The first name on the list of potential defendants is the first man to win a conviction against Camm: former Floyd County Prosecutor Stan Faith.........In an exclusive interview at the annual Innocence Network Conference in Portland, Oregon last month, Camm told WDRB about his plans to file the civil lawsuit against Floyd County. "Well, they took 13 years of my life, not only did they not even allow me to attend the funerals of my wife and my children, but discredit me as a human being and a person and take away my identity. The state of Indiana and all of its representatives have stolen 13 years of my life and that's not right and somebody needs to pay for that!" Camm's attorneys say the lawsuit will be filed in federal court in the near future. Meanwhile, no one named as a potential defendant in the case is willing to go on camera right now."
