Indiana Decisions - Camm to face murder charges again

The Louisville Courier-Journal is reporting this afternoon: "David Camm to face murder charges again." Some quotes:

Floyd County, Ind., Prosecutor Keith Henderson announced this afternoon that he planned to re-file charges against former state trooper David Camm in the September 2000 murders of his wife and two children. * * *

He said he will release a new probable-cause affidavit today in which some of the evidence against Camm will be detailed.

A hearing is scheduled today in Floyd Circuit Court on a request by Camm’s attorneys to have him released on bond pending trial. * * *

The Indiana Court of Appeals overturned the conviction in August. It said the jury was unfairly biased against Camm by testimony from a dozen women who said they had affairs with Camm or were propositioned by him.

Earlier this month the Indiana Supreme Court announced it wouldn’t consider the Court of Appeals decision, leaving it up to Henderson to decide whether charges should be re-filed.

[Update 11/16/04] The Louisville Courier-Journal has this story today, headlined "Prosecutor to refile charges in Camm case: New murder evidence cited against ex-state trooper."
