Man convicted and then acquitted of murdering his family, gets 450k from Floyd County.
A former Indiana State Police trooper convicted twice but later acquitted in the slayings of his wife and two children will receive a $450,000 settlement from the southern Indiana county that helped prosecute him.
The News and Tribune reports the Floyd County commissioners approved the settlement with David Camm on Tuesday night. The agreement was reached Friday.
Camm was acquitted in 2013 in his third murder trial in the 2000 shooting deaths of his 35-year-old wife, Kim Camm, and their children, 7-year-old Brad and 5-year-old Jill. Two earlier convictions were overturned on appeal. Camm spent 13 years in prison while maintaining his innocence.
Camm attorney Garry Adams says his client still is seeking $30 million from the state, Floyd County Prosecutors Keith Henderson and special prosecutor Stan Faith.
