The former Indiana State Trooper is charged with killing his wife and two children in their Georgetown, Ind., home in September 2000.

NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported that the judge decided to take the jurors to see the gymnasium in Georgetown, because they had so many questions about it.

"They obviously wonder how he could get in and out without being seen," lead prosecutor Stan Faith told Miller.

The prosecution is trying to prove that Camm left the gym, went home and killed his family, and then went back, Miller reported.

Wednesday, several of the men who played with Camm that night testified that they never saw Camm leave the gym.

Miller reported that the gym has double glass doors at the front, a single door on the corner, two doors on each side of the building and four doors at the back, as well as another door on the second floor leading out froma walking track.

Prosecutors said that each door could have been used by Camm to sneak out unnoticed.

They're (jurors) also going to come to a realization at some point that he didn't have to be gone an hour or anything like that -- probably the time is going to be somewhere around 20-25 minutes at most," Faith said.

Several jurors walked out of the doors to see if they could get back inside, Miller reported. Each door locks once closed.

Prosecutors claim that Camm left the gym, made the five-minute drive home, made a phone call at 7:19 p.m., waited for his wife and children to come home, killed them, cleaned up the crime scene and then drove back to the gym, slipping back in unnoticed.

Camm's attorney, Mike McDaniel, called that scenario impossible.

Camm Jurors Check Doors "The critical time for them is the first 17 minutes after seven o'clock when the first game is going on, so I think you heard 10 people say Dave played the first game, so I think that shuts their window for Dave to make that phone call," McDaniel said.

Miller reported that the jurors spent a little under an hour at the gym.

Bradley Camm's swim coach and a fellow employee of Kim Camm also took the stand Thursday, Miller reported.
