After being postponed two months ago, a hearing for a motion to correct errors alleged to have occurred in the second murder trial of David Camm has officially been canceled.
Floyd County Prosecutor Keith Henderson said the request for the hearing — which had been rescheduled for Monday — was withdrawn by Camm’s defense attorneys after Henderson objected to their second request for more preparation time.
Warrick County Judge Robert Aylsworth will now review the motions and sworn affidavits from all 12 jurors — collected by Henderson’s office — to make a ruling on whether or not any inappropriate evidence was brought into the jury room during deliberations, an allegation Camm’s lawyers have made.
Camm’s defense team said they filed the motion to correct errors because the state entered evidence alleging Camm molested his 5-year-old daughter, a crime for which he was never charged.
Henderson said Aylsworth should make a decision on the motion within 30 days. If denied, an automatic appeal will be filed to the Indiana Supreme Court.
After being found guilty for a second time in March, Camm was sentenced to life without parole for the Sept. 28, 2000, shooting deaths of his wife, Kim, and their children, 5-year-old Jill and 7-year-old Brad. The family was murdered in the garage of their Georgetown home.
