Ind. Courts - "No agreement on counties from which to pick Camm jury"
Louisville WAVE 3 has posted a new story by Janelle MacDonald -- some quotes:
Lawyers in David Camm's third murder trial have submitted lists from which to draw potential jurors.Special Judge Jon Dartt asked prosecutors and Camm's lawyers to turn in a list of five counties. The defense submitted eight but no county appears on both lists.
Prosecutors would like to bring jurors in from Greene, Clay, Lawrence, Martin or Daviess Counties.
The defense would prefer jurors to come from Indiana's northern-most counties: St. Joseph, Allen or Lake Counties. However, lawyers also told the judge if he was reluctant to draw jurors from that far away, they would accept jurors from Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Tippecanoe or Marion Counties. * * *
Defense attorney Stacy Uliana said she expects to subpoena prosecutor Keith Henderson's former agent and publisher in a deal Henderson struck to write an account of the Camm family murders. The defense contends the deal means Judge Dartt should not allow Henderson to prosecute Camm's third trial.
Henderson has told reporters he agreed to write a book on the murders, with the understanding if the Supreme Court overturned Camm's second conviction, the deal was terminated. Henderson says there is no conflict of interest in him prosecuting the case because there is no pending book deal.
On August 6th, Judge Dartt ruled Henderson's former agent and publisher could be subpoenaed in the state of New York to come to Indiana testify in the hearing on the matter.
