Camm's Ex-Lovers Testify At Trial
Testimony Expected From 10 Additional Women
NEW ALBANY, Ind. -- The marital past of triple-murder suspect David Camm began to come out as his trial continued Tuesday.
Camm, a former Indiana State Police trooper, is charged with killing his wife, Kimberly, and his two children, Jill and Bradley, in their Georgetown, Ind., home in September 2000.
One of Camm's former girlfriends testified Tuesday that Camm pulled out a gun during an argument shortly before they broke up, NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported.The woman testified that she had a four-month affair with Camm in 1994 while Camm was separated from his wife, Miller reported.The affair included dinners, movies, nightclub outings and NASCAR races. The woman testified that she knew about Camm's marriage and was once in the Camm's home when Kim Camm came home, Miller reported.The woman said that Camm pulled a gun out of his pocket after she went to visit her ex-boyfriend. Camm allegedly said, "We can end it right here," according to the testimony.The woman said that she asked Camm to put the gun away so that they could talk, and Camm allegedly responded, "I'll just end it right here," Miller reported.Camm and the woman broke up a short time after the incident, and Camm moved back into the home he shared with his wife and children, NewsChannel 32 reported.
Prosecutors contend that Camm killed his family so that he could be free to pursue other women. They plan to call at least 10 additional women to testify about their relationships with Camm, Miller reported.Two of the four woman who testified Tuesday said that Camm only tried to kiss them, but the other two admitted to an affair with Camm that involved sex. One of the woman claimed that she had sex with Camm in the former Indiana State Police trooper's patrol car in the median of Interstate 64 while he was on duty.Miller reported that prosecutors are labelling Camm's sexual prowess as motive, but defense attorney's state otherwise."I think the more folks they put on, the more diminished it becomes as a motive," defense attorney Mike McDaniel said. "I think every one of them is going to testify that it wasn't anything serious to them, it wasn't anything permanent. It was just slap and tickle -- fooling around."Prosecutors also questioned a co-worker of Camm's who claimed that he tried to kiss her on one occasion, but she pushed him away.
Miller reported that prosecutors are trying to show that Camm's behavior was part of a pattern, and not just fooling around."We're trying to paint his portrait so that you can understand who this man is," lead prosecutor Stan Faith said. "He can get up there and cry at the drop of a hat and act emotional. We're trying to show who Dave is."McDaniel called Camm a product of his work environment."This is the way troopers behaved at that state police post. They liked to find themselves a lady and talk about it. I don't know if they're cutting notches on their karate sticks or what, but that's just the way it is."The prosecution will call more women from Camm's past on Wednesday.
