Third David Camm trial to be held in Boone County, Ind.

Posted: Updated:

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- David Camm's third murder trial will be held in Boone County, Indiana, northwest of Indianapolis.  It's about 150 miles from Louisville.

The trial will begin on Aug. 5, 2013. Spencer Circuit Court Judge Jon Dartt will preside over the trial, according to a court order.

The jury will not be sequestered prior to deliberations.

Appeals courts overturned verdicts from 2002 and 2006 that convicted Camm of murder for the shootings of his wife Kim and their two young children Jill and Brad in their Georgetown, Indiana home in 2000.

After the second trial, Kimberly Camm's father Frank Renn said of a third proceeding: "It's got to be done, if it takes twenty years, it's got to be done."  Kimberly Camm's parents have strong opinions about a third trial.  Frank Renn continues:  "I wasn't ready for the first one.  I wasn't ready for the second one.  But I'll do it every four years if we have to.  This man murdered three people -- he's not going to get by with it."

Kimberly's mother Janice Renn said, "We just want justice for them.  This has been...it's hard.  This was my daughter and my grandkids and every day I have to live with this."

But not everyone wanted to go through another trial.  "I can't say I'm shocked -- I can't say I am surprised," said David Camm's uncle Sam Lockhart after the second trial.  "Dave's innocent."  He's also one of ten men who swear they was playing basketball with Camm at the exact time the medical examiner says his family was killed.  "The truth is there.  It lies in the witnesses," Lockhart says, adding that the real killer is already in prison.  "Charles Boney is the killer."

During the second trial, Charles Boney was also convicted of the murders.  Boney claims in one of several stories that he provided Camm with the murder weapon.  Lockhart maintains, "Talk to Charles Boney and see how many stories he has.  You talk to David Camm and the people that were with David Camm playing basketball, see how many stories they had.  They had one."  

It's expected this third trial could cost as much as $1 million.
