Oh, look, here’s a cute op-end in A Kentucky Newspaper from Steve Beshear about how Kentuckians deserve to vote on gambling. They do. They just don’t want to vote on whether or not the horsey set gets constitutional rights to ownership. [C-J/AKN]

The sad thing about the Camm case is, we’re never going to know what really happened that night.
And all that money wasted on trials. Divorce would’ve been cheaper for everyone, Dave.
And the Amazon warehouse project is one of the worst-kept secrets. And it gets its own cool code name: Project Tango.

If we don’t know what really happened that night, then how can you say divorce would have been cheaper? Your comment reminds me of exactly the ridiculousness that I am not ready for which is more ingnorant comments made by people who don’t understand the facts.
Yes, money has been wasted! It has been wasted because of an inept police investigation, a prosecutor who refused to and then lied about running DNA through the CODIS database and a second prosecutor who ignored the Indiana Apellate Court ruling that provided the guidance that would have eliminated the possibility of reversal of the second conviction.
Does anyone find it interesting that Camm seems to prevail anytime an issue regarding this case gets heard in a higher court by judges who have been appointed to their positions rather than in a setting where the judges and prosecutors are elected ? Hmm.., maybe politicians are motivated by something more than accurate application of the law and justice.

At least with a divorce, Julie, three people would still be alive.

What is it about these prosecutors that they and the police totally mess up murder investigations? I mean, seriously, what kind of screwed up system do we have when you had the Camm case carrying on for 10 years and you also had the Brent Burke case ending in 4 mistrials. We can’t do better around here than that?

Tim, you didn’t get my point. If we don’t know what REALLY happened that night, then it is entirely possible that David is innocent as he claims and that Charles Boney acted alone as he did in all of his other crimes against women.

I wasn’t around here when Camm’s wife and kids were murdered so I don’t have the emotional connection it that some folks do. From my perspective it really seems like he got railroaded for a murder he didn’t commit.. There is a lot of myth and speculation mixed in to the “common knowledge” about this case. Much of what people “know” about this case has no evidence to support it or is in direct contradiction to the facts in the case.
What we do know is that a convicted repeat violent sex offender was undeniably at the scene of the crime, that he has little or no connection to Camm and that there is zero evidence to support the assertion that he and Camm were in contact with each other during the time of the murders. If that was the first piece of information that the public received about the case then it is doubtful that anyone would have ever even looked crosswise at Camm.
