• Michael West, a jailhouse informant for the defense, housed with Camm at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City at one time.
“He’s one of those sneaky guys. He’ll be cool to you to your face, but talk bad about you behind your back,” West said of fellow inmate Jeremy “Joker” Bullock, who testified earlier that Camm had confessed to him.
“He didn’t like David Camm ‘cause he used to be a cop,” West said, adding he and Bullock used to talk nightly through the ventilation system in their cells.
During those talks, West said Bullock told him he was going to falsely testify against Camm in hopes of getting out of jail early.
West said he called the defense after Bullock told him that “because I don’t think (Camm) did it. ... I had the same thing to me, someone saying stuff that wasn’t true” to get out of jail early.
“So, you’re innocent?” asked Steve Owen, deputy Floyd County prosecutor.
“Yes,” replied West, who is serving life without parole for robbery and murder.
“Everybody up there’s innocent aren’t they?” Owen said.
“Not everybody,” the prisoner answered.
• Mark Day, a jailhouse informant for the defense, housed with Camm at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City at one time.
He said Bullock told him he was going to testify against David Camm because he didn’t like the former state trooper.
Day — who’s been in prison for 21 years for attempted rape, criminal confinement and other charges — recalled a conversation he had with Bullock about him testifying against Camm.
“I said, ‘Joker, I hear some bad things about you,’ and he said, (expletive) that cop, I’m going home.”
• Joseph Chappel, a jailhouse informant, housed with Camm at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City at one time.
He testified Camm was crying on son’s birthday and told him about having nightmares in which his son called out for his help but he wasn’t able to help him.
• William Cody, who worked with Charles Boney at Anderson Wood Manufacturing in Louisville at the time of the murders.
Cody, a convicted felon, testified that Boney received a gun from another co-worker, Victor Nugent, at work in June, July or August of 2000. Boney wrapped the weapon in a towel, but the lower half was exposed giving Cody a close look at the gun.
Cody, who said he owned more than 3,000 weapons in his life, told the jury that the gun was definitely not a revolver. It was more like a .32 or .380 caliber handgun he said.
The state alleges a .380 Lorcin pistol, sold to Camm by Boney, was used to commit the murders.
• Sam Lockhart, David Camm’s uncle, on his mother’s side.
He testified that his nephew was restoring two vehicles, a 1973 Corvette and a 1966 Mustang Kim had purchased for him to rebuild for their 7-year-old son Bradley at the time of the murders.
The work was taking place in a detached garage on the family’s Georgetown property.
Lockhart didn’t see brazing going on, but he had been there when Camm was doing other work on the vehicle. He said he was in the garage with Camm the weekend before the murders and, before that, about every other week.
He told the jury his nephew had been “tinkering with things since he was a little fella.”
• Leland Lockhart, David Camm’s uncle.
At the time of the murders, Lockhart was pastor of Georgetown Community Church, which the Camm family attended. Kim Camm, an accountant by profession, was the church treasurer.
He testified that with the exception of the main entrance, the remaining 10 doors at the church gym were self-locking. Camm’s alibi is that he was playing basketball with 11 other people at the gym at the time of the murders.
