David Camm, a former Indiana State Police trooper, is charged with killing his wife and his two children, Jill and Bradley, in the garage of their Georgetown, Ind., home in September 2000.

The medical examiner (pictured, below right) testified that Kimberly Camm struggled with her attacker before she died.

Camm Trial NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported that the examiner testified that Kimberly Camm may have been reaching for her children before the bullet from a gun passed through her brain.

"Her shoes had come off during the struggle I assume," lead prosecutor Stan Faith said. "It wasn't much of a struggle. She was obviously overpowered by someone much stronger than her, and much more skilled at fighting."

The jury viewed autopsy photos of the victims, Miller reported.

Defense attorney Mike McDaniel said that the evidence of a struggle favors his client.

"This woman would have put up a struggle, and most likely would have probably have inflicted some injuries on someone if her fingernail was ripped off," McDaniel said.

Did Camm Own A .380 Caliber Gun?

The prosecution spent Tuesday morning at the David Camm murder trial trying to prove that Camm owned the same type of gun used to kill his family.

Camm, Lt. Lupe Floyd County Lieutenant Frank Lupe (pictured, right) testified that in May 2000, Camm applied to be a reserve officer with the sheriff's department, NewsChannel 32's Abby Miller reported.

Lupe said that he and Camm discussed uniforms, and Camm said that he needed to save money to buy a gun.

Lupe said that he asked Camm whether he already owned one, and Camm allegedly said that the only gun he owned was a .380, which is too small for a holster.

Police said that the evidence shows that the victims were killed by bullets from a .380 caliber gun.

Camm denies ever owning that type of firearm.

Camm Contracts "He (Lupe) is either mistaken or he's lying," McDaniel said.

The murder weapon has never been found.

Prosecutors also said that a number scrawled in a day planner found near the phone, proves that Camm made a phone call from the house at 7:19 p.m. to Ronald Dean Miller.
