LEBANON - <\/p>\n
The murder trial for David Camm continued Tuesday with continuing testimony from Indiana State PoliceDNA analyst Lynn Scamahorn. <\/p>\n
In February 2005,Scamahorn tested the gray sweatshirt left at the crime scene and Charles Boney's DNA came up as a match. Also in 2005, another area of the sweatshirt tested and matched Boney's girlfriend's DNA. <\/p>\n
The DNA analyst testified outside the presence of the jury that during the first trial in 2001, prosecutor Stan Faith threatened her because she wasn't willing to testify the way he wanted her to. He wanted her to say that she found Camm's DNA on the sweatshirt and she couldn't do that. <\/p>\n
According to Scamahorn, Faith threatened her job and threatened to charge her with obstruction. The defense petitioned the court to allow the jury to hear about Faith's misconduct but the court upheld a previous ruling. The jury will not hear about Faith's misconduct in this trial. <\/p>\n
The defense also petitioned the court to exclude testimony from Danny Camm, David's brother, who sold and was the beneficiary on Kim Camm's life insurance policy. The court allowed testimony about insurance and beneficiaries but no testimony about possible wrongdoing by Danny Camm. <\/p>\n
The prosecutor maintains that money was motive for the murders of David Camm's wife and children. <\/p>\n
The jury then heard from Shelly Romero, a former ISPK-9 trooper and friend of David Camm. She responded to the crime scene onthe night of the murders and Camm's first words to Romerowere, \"Someone killed my[expletive] family.\" <\/p>\n
Romerosaid Camm was adamant that the investigationbe done right. He asked Romero if she thought his kids were in heaven. <\/p>\n
Camm became emotional in court when Romero recounted a conversation she had with him about the funeral preparations. Romero felt the investigation was going too quickly and like there was a \"pack mentality\" within the post against Camm. <\/p>\n
