JUDGE: Camm to be tried in northern Indiana

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A judge ruled Monday that the third David Camm trial will take place somewhere in northern Indiana.

That judge declined to rule on bond for Camm, however, choosing to make the ruling sometime in the next 30 days. 

Camm is currently in an Evansville jail.

Although the former Indiana State trooper was twice found guilty of killing his wife, Jill, and their two children, Jill and Brad, both convictions were overturned.

In May, a judge ruled that Floyd County prosecutor Keith Henderson can assist the special prosecutor in charge of the case.

Henderson was removed from the case because of a conflict of interest involving a book deal. Now his attorneys are arguing that Camm was denied his right to a speedy trial because of the delay in getting Henderson removed.

"I'm always optimistic," Sam Lockhart, David Camm's uncle said Monday.  "I've been disappointed some in the past, and supposedly I'll be disappointed again.  But hopefully this time I won't."

But Jill Camm's father Frank Renn says, "He's guilty...nothing's changed where he might be innocent now."

Camm's third trial is set to begin sometime in August of 2013.
