EDITOR'S NOTE: This is a partial transcript of the written statement Debbie Karem, Kim Camm’s sister, presented to the court during the sentencing of David Camm for the murders of his wife Kim and their two children.
“To the Camm-Lockhart family, I am truly sorry for the pain you are going through. I wish David could stop thinking only of himself for once, turn around and look each and every one of you in the eye and give you the explanation that I feel you deserve.
As for you David, the only truth you ever told was the statement you made to us before you were arrested. You said you could still hear Brad calling ‘daddy, daddy.’ Since then, (Charles) Boney has admitted to being there and hearing Brad say those exact words to you before you fired the gun. In hindsight, I can’t help but wonder if those were the last words that you actually heard from Brad as he tried to escape your deadly aim.
Five-and-a-half years ago you took Kim, Brad and Jill from us. That wasn’t all. You also took away my life as I knew it — the lives of my parents, the life of my husband and the lives of my extended family. Not to mention the lives of all who knew Kim and the kids.
You’ve affected so many people. We let you have that control, that power. No more. All I ever wanted from you was the truth. Now, I want nothing from you. I am done. You controlled my life, my health for too long. I am taking it back. I am so done with you.”
