Ind. Courts - "Superior Court to survey Warrick Co. residents about Camm"
Matt Thacker reported yesterday in the Jeffersonville News & Tribune:
Surveys will be mailed to 200 randomly selected Warrick County residents to determine how much people in the county know about the David Camm case.Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson has argued that Camm’s third trial should be held in Warrick County, which is the county that has jurisdiction since the second trial was held there.
Camm’s attorneys filed a petition to change venue to Northern Indiana due to media exposure throughout the southern half of the state.
A court clerk said Superior Court No. 2 Judge Robert Aylsworth wants to determine whether a fair jury can be selected in Warrick County. She said the surveys will likely be mailed within the next couple of weeks.
After parties were unable to agree on a venue, the defense and prosecution were asked to submit proposed survey questions, according to the chronological case summary. The court will review the questions and send them to counsel. Seven days will be allowed for further comment before the surveys are mailed.
