The only thing I can think of that is worse than losing your family is being wrongly convicted for their murders.
That's worse than losing your family? Are you deranged?
Agree. We had a horrible case here in the UK of mothers being accused of killing their babies while they slept. They were later proved to be completely innocent, and it was found to be due to a condition with some babies. I can't imagine the emotional hell they must have gone through.
Then there's the "slightly less" terrifying story here where senior managers of our Royal Mail Postal Service got their employees sent to prison for stealing money, when they knew full well it was because their IT systems weren't working properly, but didn't want the public humiliation of being caught out on a poorly implemented system that had cost millions.
As a former cop I imagine this is mostly karma he had due to him.
@@TrillShatner I agree... he's a villain for sure...when I resigned abruptly, it was due to my felonious actions while in uniform so I believe he is a villain
@@Mushroomguy88 so..because youre a sumbag.. everyone else who resigns is also a scumbag. ok
The fact that the prosecution claimed they must’ve “accidentally” sent the wrong DNA sample of the sweatshirt is fucking horrifying. When the prosecution cares more about winning the case than potentially putting an innocent man in jail for the rest of his life
I think it’s more a case of bias or just being convinced of something regardless of evidence. Still equally horrifying. Or maybe I’m giving them too much credit.
That is 100% of the time the prosecutuons sole concern. They absolutely do not care about truth that doesn't fit their preconceived stories
Oh well.
Murderer is now free. Jurors get it wrong all the time.
My husband and I have agreed that if we ever needed a DNA analysis to prove our innocence, we would pay for our own private lab.
This was one of the weakest cases I've ever seen in true crime and the fact that it had to be tried THREE times blew my mind and broke my heart.
Cam is not innocent
@@angelcelis9090 shut up bootlicker
Go look up Curtis Flowers. They tried him SEVEN TIMES for the same crime. The man sat on Death Row for around 20+ years until he was finally released. This kind of thing happens every day in America…
@@angelcelis9090Fuq off, how is he not innocent?? All of the physical evidence points to the creepy sado-foot guy. It's terrifying that ppl like you exist.
@@angelcelis9090he literally is. Nothing logical adds up about the prosecution. The dude obviously r-ped his family then tried to pin in on a cop because he’s a criminal and hates cops. There’s scientifically backed evidence that the footfetish freak touched all the victims. Why would Camm not immediately blame him if he knew he was there etc. the story of cam doing it doesn’t even get close to Adding up
He sued the state police & prosecutors & was awarded +5mil in April 2022 🙌🏽
Strangely the wife's parents sued him for the life insurance $$ and still believe he killed her😮
Well dang😅
then they are just bumb,plain and simple..
But they can't simply sue him based on what they think or believe. He got a not guilty verdict, so he's an innocent free man. Doesn't sound like a lawsuit against him was successful.
@@levianthony3944I OJ Simpson lost his civil case to his wife and Goldmans family but was found not guilty in criminal court. Just saying
Were they successful in their suit for the life insurance money? I hope not
Just because he’s a bad husband doesn’t make him a killer. The fact that he was playing basketball the whole time, 11 different people say he didn’t leave, and he still got found guilty is terrifying
@CriticalMoment sure cheating can be a motive, as well as hundreds of different things, but the fact that there was no such evidence that he left is crazy. These prosecutors are great storytellers and can write a novel of lies. Their only job is to make up a believable story that points the blame at whoever they want. It's disgusting what they can conjure up without any facts
It just goes to show you, if the cops & prosecution think you’ve manipulated them or you are trying to pull one over on them, they will throw the book at you whether the evidence is there or not. They can take the smallest amount of inconclusive or circumstantial evidence and nail your butt to the wall.
@@criticalmoment3859 50% of marriages end in divorce, many of those because of affairs. if that's enough to be a motive then go investigate every divorced couple
@@zack-lk8if Exactly.
I'd never do either, but correlation is NOT causation.
@@zack-lk8if most divorces don't end in murder
The killer left a bloody shirt with his name on it, his personal signature from previous crimes and his DNA in some very telling locations on the woman and little girl. Camm had an airtight alibi. But they still managed to railroad one of their very own for the terrible crime. If you thought talking to the police without a lawyer would be a good idea when you're innocent, NOW you certainly must know better.
How convenient was it though that he left a shirt with his name on it. Sounds like a frame job
Cops almost never got prosecuted for their actual crimes. Shows you how desperate they were to not have to actually capture a repeat criminal. It's all about statistics, not serving the community. "Geez, we put a guy in jail! Shut up about the crimes already!"
@@jpatton5567 About as convenient that he left his DNA all over the crime scene. Criminals are dumb af. His wife and daughter were both sexually assaulted as well. I'm sure that's just convenience?
The dude admitted to committing the murder lmao thats a real effective frame job, the guy says he did the murder with Camm (obviously impossible as a dozen witnesses place David at the rec center all night)
So the whole basketball team of some acquaintances and some strangers was paid off to say David was actually at a basketball game all night? And none of them ever cracked and admitted it?
It's just so heartbreaking when it takes 13 years and three trials for an innocent man to be proven not guilty, and have his freedom.
Boy, the police really shit the bed on this case. They messed up so badly.
The prosecution should go to jail for “accidentally” sending in the wrong DNA. They worked overtime to send this man to jail.
Man… imagine finding your family brutally murdered and then being blamed for it if you’re truly innocent… I just can’t imagine being in that predicament
Hire Jose Baez immediately
Always get a lawyer and don't talk to the police.
I think about it from time to time. At any time, you can be found guilty for something you're completely innocent of
He’s not innocent
Imagine believing that the guy with velocity splatter in his shirt and with motive is innocent. And how does anyone older than 4 believes the perpetrator would leave his sweater with his name on at the back of the car? 🤣🤣🤣🤣. He obviously bought the gun from the backbobe guy and killed his family, maybe he wanted out of the marriage, maybe wife discovered he was abusing their daughter. They both should be in prison.
One thing that was missed in this video, that was very important to this case, was that the so-called "blood splatter expert", wasn't an expert at all as he/she had never been trained in blood splatter evidence at all, and when re-examined by an actual expert, it became obvious that the blood on David's top was totally consistent with the account given by Camm himself, and did not exhibit any patterns consistent with blowback of a firearm. This case was sloppy at best and a complete set-up by those whom he considered his own.
Is it the same guy who tested evidence of the Michael Peterson case? It sounds like him 💔😅
no one on the planet is trained in blood splatter analysis
@@rickylafleur1195 yes huh! Dexter Morgan
It is “spatter” not splatter… two different words…
Between this, the DNA mixup, and the witness that testified about hearing gunshots after he got home, this must be one of the worst investigations of all time.
Literally my worst nightmare situation. I dont understand how they looked past his alibi, his behavior during interrogation, and the lack of motive.
They used molestation in the first trial along with the girlfriends he had and life insurance. They had 3 motives to choose from for the jury. The sweatshirt was not looked into in the first trial. The forensics was botched in the first trial. The alibi, I have never understood how they got around that either. 11 people. Church going people none the less. I knew David. He was no killer.
They were too lazy to do their jobs properly
Its mine as well. I think I would rather be murdered than convicted of a crime I didn't commit. It would be a nightmare to be grieving the violent loss of your whole family and then losing your freedom and everyone thinking you're evil.
When I heard the husband I. The interrogation getting so angry at the accusations I thought, “that’s what these channels say an innocent person should sound like.” It’s always when the subject acts all calm like “no, I didn’t do it. It wasn’t me.” The commentary is about how that’s what a guilty person does, instead of getting pissed as hell. So my instinct was correct.
I thought exactly the same
Most of those channels are just talking out their butts. Everyone will react differently to accusations both false and true. Just like shoes, one size does not fit all.
Same here. This case is disgusting how can we see his innocence yet so called experts got it wrong at every turn. Truly despicable
@@nerdjournal All of them are just talking out of their ass. You can't convict people on body language. It always makes me roll my eyes when I see it in the comments
@@nerdjournalso the CIA, FBI and police are also talking out of their butts for using body language analysis?
crazy to think he sat in jail innocent for 13 years. I've been wrongly accused for a much lesser crime but that feeling of not having anyone believe your truth is horrible.
I got thrown out of boarding school for something I didn’t do, I had to go in front of the disciplinary committee which was made up of students and faculty, plead my case and they still thought I was guilty. I had worked so hard to get into that school, on a scholarship, it was devastating, it still affects me today. At least my parents were on my side and believed me, there’s nothing worse than not being believed when you are telling the truth. I can’t imagine what this man went through
@@kenkaniff8428 bro please tell me you sued or plan on suing
@@Kthb80 sorry you had to experience that. You shouldve had your blind uncle defend you at the hearing.
Spoiler alert! Geez lol I wish this wasn’t on the top of the comments
@@MissesNice562 I just looked and basically every comment is about his innocence. Sorry Karen!
If David was involved then his acting in that 911 call is incredible. He truly sounded desperate
Cops are notorious liars dummy
I thought so too
Agreed. I watch true crime videos 24/7 nearly and i believed his acting, if it was acting.
Yes I got genuine chills it sounds so genuine
He's innocent they just focused on him for some reason.
More more! Can’t get enough of these videos. Love how you use real footage and not some generic stuff. Amazing work. Thank you!😊
I've lived in New Albany for (almost) my entire life. I remember when all of this happened. When I look back on it, there are two things that stand out. First, it was very obvious to everyone in town that they had Camm pegged for this crime instantly. Almost like they didn't even consider another suspect. Second, I'd say 80% of the people in the county knew he was innocent. It took this man three trials and cost him something like 13 years of his life because of a shoddy investigation and two vindictive prosecutors trying to make names for themselves. Absolute travesty.
Shot were heard shortly after David left for the basketball game. 11 witnesses said David never left the basket ball game from around 7-9. The autopsy said the deaths were definitely around 7:30-8:00. Does anything else need to be said, how could the prosecutor counter those points, did they try to argue all 11 were lying/wrong?
Can you imagine having 11 witness give you a bullet proof ability and you still get convicted beyond a reasonable doubt?.
Keeping 11 false witnesses in line would be quite the task, yeah. I'm not really sure what the prosecutor wanted here... any personal history there or something?
He is innocent and a gross miscarriage of justice
You see i don’t get it, In the beginning interrogation, interviewer says that the shots took place after David got home, and that people said this as well, but the shots had to have occurred 1 1/2 hours before?
Everybody on the juries remembered those 14 women's testimonies, that were prejudicial and not probative. It was inadmissible, but everybody judged him right then and there. And 12 people who can't get out of jury duty in Indiana, are probably very prejudiced against anyone who commits adultery.
Very clear point.
This man was able to afford adequate legal representation.. imagine the number of people in prison for things they DIDNT DO because a prosecutor wants to jam the conviction down a jury’s throat
And tax dollars funded his defense, through his union.
Exactly, I would have been completely screwed. I hate it! It's already happened to me, not for murder thank God! Still though, I despise them, I despise what they do, not all of them, but I have no reason to believe that most are any different from what I experienced. I would take everything from them and cast them down to the lowest with a criminal record, and say now go from here. I don't need to have a trial for some, I know they are guilty, willfully. Others just neglectful and just didn't give a f###. One might think oh you only had to do 6 months, but it isn't that, it's the lifetime of having a record, losing rights, and hindrance to advancement in jobs and social prosperity. Even talking about gets me very angry. I despise these people being presented as heros, and just, when they are filthy, and they are murderers of lives, 8 can tell the difference, between mistakes, and common practice. What they did to me, and didn't do for me, is their common practice. Possible they could change, yes, but...I haven't seen it, and besides that if the people they have convicted change, they still keep their records and hinder their futures. I can forgive, but it isn't over, because everyday is an offense to me, and affects my life and future, I forgive you for hitting me, but you still haven't stopped.
@@bucklejrjjbg8197 Crazy-alert..it would not be a bad idea if law-enforcement would keep an eye on you
"This man was able to afford adequate legal representation." His legal team *LOST TWICE" and he spent 13 yeas in jail, you clown. You act like he had OJ's legal team.
@@sintwo0one "And tax dollars funded his defense, through his union." AND??? Your tax money funds all sorts of useless crap. You would think defending an innocent man would be one thing no one but a complete sociopath (you) would be ok with.
This is why I'm against the death penalty. It's not because some people don't deserve it, it's because we can't really determine guilt or innocence.
I'm against the death penalty in situations without concrete evidence. If there was video or something as conclusive then I'd be for it.
give them the whole chair if they admit it though
@@bkpk4hisapplesaucepeople can be coerced into giving false confessions
I am also against 'prison justice' meaning let other prisoners stab them, as this happens to the innocent too, eg GFloyd cop was stabbed in jail.
I really appreciate the style of the video. Instead of focusing on just the interview, it focuses on the entire case. It really sets these videos apart from others similar to these
It’s odd that the women he allegedly had affairs with were allowed to testify at the beginning. I mean, cheating on your spouse makes you a shitty person, but it certainly isn’t proof you murdered your family. Seems like they were leaning hard into attacking his character to prove he did the crime. Maybe the investigators should spend more time finding actual evidence of how a crime actually happened as opposed to coming up with a hypothesis then trying to prove it afterwards.
The jury should have been smarter than that.
When I heard in this video "he was a bad husband and therefore 'likely' (whatever that's means) emotionally abusive" (and therefore a murderer?) That angered me crazy
@@untrueman so should the prosecutor !
@@untrueman they don't give IQ tests when drafting the jury
@@untrueman Unfortunately, A jury of your peers means you could very likely get a jury of complete morons.
Sounds like David was railroaded. Makes me curious about the circumstances with his exit from the police department...
I was thinking the same thing!
Great point
I feel for him, what a nightmare. Though I still wonder about the injury to the little daughter's private parts.
I feel like this happens because police are told from high up they need a conviction. Not because of infighting.
@@Clementine_D umm why do you wonder about that??
This case is INSANE, holy shit! I greatly appreciate the effort put into your videos and am excited to binge your channel!
From his 911 call , his alibi to that interrogation how in the hell could they think that he’s lying … this is soooooo infuriating!! Poor Dave man 😢 he couldn’t even grieve properly cause he had to fight for his life with everyone thinking that he not only killed his family but also molested his daughter smhhhh this is one of most maddening cases ever
Putting myself in the jury's position, there isn't enough evidence to say David was guilty of anything without a reasonable doubt
After watching a 20 minute video you're able to speak for the jury?
@@Purplexity-ww8nb I think 11 witnesses testifying that Clam didn't leave the basketball game when the murders took place would do that.
@@Purplexity-ww8nb yes, which speaks volumes of how bad they all fucked up.
Just look at twitter. That is representative of a typical jury cross section.
@@jcsjcs2 11 people he played basketball with every week... If I was playing basketball with 11 friends there's no way I'd realize if one snuck off for 10 minutes, and they'd all probably testify that I never left even if they didn't pay attention if I was in court.. A large group he plays basketball with often isn't solid witnesses IMO
Never ceases to amaze me how often the jury doesn't seem to understand "beyond a reasonable doubt" There is no concrete evidence that David was guilty. There is only concrete evidence that he is innocent.
I would say high velocity blood spatter on his shirt is concrete evidence of guilt… U dont get that unless u fire a gun or smth at a live person
@@Algimantaz That is entirely irrelevant because numerous people testified he wasn't there AND the prosecution admitted that there was likely some error with their sample testing at an earlier point. Zero credibility for the testing at that point.
Good god yea, tell me about it. I’ve been on a jury, was just arguing with people with no common sense for a week. I feel like I lost years off my life
Jury in conservative areas (republican voters) are by far the toughest, will side with the prosecutor/police most the times ..some of them think it's their JOB AND DUTY to say guilty and support men in blue! Same with jury far from major cities, or living in farming area, they tend to be less cultured! Also, sadly, many smart people find smart way to not participate in jury duty!
@@Algimantazexcept that wasn’t legit and wasn’t done by a certified person.
Thank you for the wonderfully professional way that you present these videos.
The intro to this video was so hauntingly spectacular. Wow! Very inspirational.
Prosecutors need to be held accountable for their actions
You grow up thinking this crime scene investigation "science" is flawless. Then learn of all the ways it can be corrupted and misinterpreted and does... Incompetence, laziness, malice... Im sure many innocent men were put away
I agree there has to be a law against mishandling evidence which resulted in wrongful conviction at least 3-6 months in jail
Yes, these settlements should be coming out of their checks.
Surely, if David Camm was involved in organising the murders of his family, there would be traces of communication, text messages, emails, phone calls, witnesses that they had met at basketball... That Charles Bonet is disgusting for trying to lesser his involment and drag David Camm down with him... Heartbreaking... May all 3 rest in peace...
4 including the man wrongly imprisoned for life
In the 90s? Lol
I guess you never heard of a burner phone or correctly doing a crime and getting away
@@yaboyfrreshright? A police officer would know this. I think David did it because it makes zero sense for even the worst murderer to needlessly kill this family with zero motive involved.
What a silly comment. If you're smart there are ways to get rid of all of that evidence.
I’ve seen. Video on this case before but your coverage is so well put together that it outdoes the rest. I’m impressed ❤
This was beautifully crafted. Thanks.
Everyone that mishandled this case and caused him to lose 13 years of his life should spend that 13 years behind bars. That would be proper justice, and would make a prosecutor think twice before jamming skewed accusations down the jurys throat.
I'd be happy to donate to that cause. I'm very pro-law enforcement but there have been too many situations where innocent people get burned at the stake because the mob want blood.
Dude then nobody would be going to jail cuz every judge would be scared to be wrong. The thing is you’re evaluated the whole time you’re in the system. The only problem is that the system takes forever cuz so many people are in jail. Yeah hella people are prolly innocent but what else are we gonna do?
@@austinvolner3101 What are we gonna do? Hmmm.. well, we could stop trying to convict people with flawed, fabricated, or non-existent evidence. We could work harder to weed out the prosecutors, LEOs, judges, etc. who go out of their way to never admit they are wrong and use dishonesty just to get a conviction. We could speed up and prioritize any and all cases that involve an innocent person being convicted. We could take more precautions and have special groups appointed by the BAR association who closely look at cases to make sure these situations are not occurring. We could make sure that prosecutors and others involved with the case are properly punished for actions such as these. No... no, they wouldn't be "scared to be wrong" because being wrong isn't the problem. It's ok to be wrong and being wrong when you've been honest and used integrity to prosecute the case to the best of your ability should not be punished. The problem and reason for being punished should be situations where negligence, ignorance, fabrication, dishonesty, and any and all other tactics were used by these crooked lawyers and LEOs to get a wrongful conviction. No one should be punished for being wrong, it's human to be wrong... BUT... to do everything in your power to deny being wrong and to knowingly use all those above tactics to convict, then you should be punished when the evidence comes to light.. very harshly, I might add. There would be no fear because as long as the evidence shows that you didn't commit these atrocities, you would not be punished. In the numerous cases in which these tactics have been used to purposely and maliciously charge and convict someone, I never see punishment for those involved.. and THAT allows for it to keep happening because no one is ever held accountable.
Thankfully the world doesn't run on those childish ideas. You imagine a whole forensics team, blood spatter experts, multiple detectives disappearing for 13 years to serve jail time.
There would very LITERALLY be more crimes committed. No one person handles a case all by themselves. Some people screw up. Sad but true. Your idea would be terrible.
@@austinvolner3101 WTF… They SHOULD be scared to be wrong! The prosecutors should be, at least.
The prosecutors who did this should be criminally charged and put in prison themselves.
They have prosecutor immunity that’s why you never hear them jailed or sued
To their credit , they didn’t ignore the new evidence and went after the real killer
@@SkankHunt3000 To their credit?! The "new" evidence was OVERLOOKED/DISREGARDED evidence from initial discovery or a result of mistakes during their initial investigation, and once this evidence became part of their current discovery they fabricated a story that made BOTH men killers. Don't give credit to the zealous witch-hunters FAR too many prosecutors have become knowing they have prosecutorial immunity and allow their judgements to be steered by their egos.
@@SkankHunt3000 Um they absolutely ignored the new evidence. He was in prison for 13 freaking years! And he was released because the jury acquitted him. It wasn’t that the cops and prosecution finally said “Okay maybe we were wrong about him.” They were trying to send him off for life again. They totally ignored everything that came in that pointed away from Camm. They don’t get any credit for this investigation.
Just playing the devil's advocate here. But it's their job to prosecute. The blood spatters are convincing evidence that doesn't occur just by smearing some blood on your clothes. I'm not convinced by either side but as they say, as long as there's reasonable doubt, you're not guilty. Prosecutors still have to charge though. And others decide. The real issue is that it took so long to get to a decision.
This channel is EXCELLENT!!!!🎉❤
Your videos are top TIER!!! The intro with the radio was dope
I can not for the life of me understand how he was ever convicted in the first place -
Crooked cops.
Because he’s a cop be easily can replicate exactly what’s needed to seem innocent at a crime scene.
Also, stop using weird punctuation you freak.
Because a jury of your peers is made up of room temperature IQ’s. Your average citizen is a moron. Worst system ever.
More than any witness statement, to me the most compelling reason he is innocent is he never once threw "Backbone" under the bus, afaik. If someone is attempting to frame someone, wouldn't they just... Do it?
Well, because if he just said "it was backbone!" that immediately makes him no longer innocent because he is placing himself at the crime scene. It would also bring the question "Why didnt you tell us backbone did it when you called 911?" or "why didnt you try to stop him?" basically if he tried to pin it on the backbone guy he would 100% spend the rest of his life in jail because it would mean he was apart of the murders to some extent.
Lol yeah he comes up with this plan to frame the guy for murder and he even hits the jackpot by having the guy take his sweatshirt off at the crime scene but decides not to even hint at the idea of who it was to the police.
@@seanachack6249 That's EXACTLY right. As the above commenter said, as soon as he mentioned his name his life would be OVER. He KNEW the cops would find that sweatshirt with his DNA on it.
If he were trying to frame Charles, it is very likely that he had intended to do so via the sweater. Think about it, if you were to commit such a heinous crime, what are the chances that you not only wear a sweater with part of your name on it, but then also go so far as to leave it at the crime scene. It would have been a fairly straightforward way of indirectly placing the blame on somebody without ever having to name them, thus allowing himself to frame Charles whilst maintaining his innocence. However, this falls apart once you take into account the fact that throughout 13 or so years behind bars, Charles is never mentioned by David during the two times that he was nearly convicted, which would have been where most would try to directly point towards any failsafe that had previously been placed.
@@thegreatkadeni5028 Yea you may be right.. but only God knows. And may the Lord forgive me if I'm wrong
His 911 call and his reaction to the initial accusations seemed genuine to me, that’s how innocent people tend to react when being accused, they get angry and frustrated.
No some guilty people act like that too
How on earth did the story of them working together convince anyone? Why on earth would David not rat out some random guy he met once while he serves life in prison?
Because, if he admitted he knew Boney, there would be no way he could get out of a life sentence or deny involvement. Why would some random guy kill his family? Boney said he brought the weapon to Camm and Camm did the deed. Could have happened before he even went to play basketball. Idk, or maybe Boney did it under Camm's direction. I don't buy he was not involved in some way.
His 911 call brought tears to my eyes , I thought if this guy did it , he missed his calling.
Same 😢
literally I was this man deserves an pscar
Sounded hokey to me.
The fact that DA’s who care about winning more than Justice can sleep at night is outrageous. What happened to the saying “It’s better that 10 guilty people go free rather than 1 innocent one be wrongly convicted”.
That’s exactly what it is and it pisses me off. Focus on finding the fucking truth you assholes
Fuck the police
This is my new favorite True Crime Channel!! I just binge-watched several of your videos and I am HOOKED!!!
Thank you for providing us with a hell of a KILLER channel and for sharing such TOP NOTCH True Crime Content!!🤘😈🤘
Thank you very much!! :)
great documentary bro
I’m gonna have to rewatch this one and take notes, because this is one of the most controversial cases i’ve ever seen.
Edit:watching this again 3 months later I must say, why would Backbone take off his sweater? Then proceed to trip over shoes that David would’ve taken off for no reason at all? And the shots were around the time that his wife got home, (neighbors were wrong about timeline) and 14 dudes lied about David not leaving? It makes no sense, he might be innocent.
What really gets me is in the trial in 2013, Charles came up with a new claim that David tried to murder him too. Blatantly leaving it out of the trial before this, which just makes no sense, at all. If David wanted him to be the fall guy for the murder, why try to kill him? Backbone lied on every single trial/interview for no reason at all if what he was saying was true. Not to mention he lied about David’s clothes, vehicle, and molesting Kim and David’s daughter.
It is quite blatantly obvious that David is actually innocent.
Agreed. I Was 100% Sure He Did It.
Then Tf Mf Named "BACKBONE" Shows Up. SMFH.
COMPLETELY Threw Me Off
Agreed!!! Everyone is so quick to say David is innocent and I’m sorry I can’t say that. If I was a juror this case would really haunt me
@@rudygee9171 physically impossible for David Camm to have been in two places at once. He was playing basketball at the exact time his family was murdered. 11 unrelated individuals testified that David never left the basketball game. That is quite convincing for me.
@@zerorequiem0x it's possible the witnesses were all friends of he's and that he did either commit the murder or set it up himself as well as them being conflicted regarding which time the phone call with the customer was. Also funny how one or 2 of them were sexually assaulted yet they can't do no testing there. He could be innocent or they may of released a calculated murderer to kill again
@@zerorequiem0x Were you there? You saw him playing basketball the whole time? lolol, a testimony from his friends he played basketball with in a big group setting is not valid, IMO. He could have "went to the bathroom" and no one would have bat an eye or even noticed in a big group... Plus they're his friends who don't wanna see him go to jail for life, and there's no risk if they were caught lying because they could fall back on "oh I didn't even notice". He lived 4 minutes from where they were playing...4 minutes
I love how some of your videos aren't as long as other true crime videos. While it's interesting to get into an hour long video, sometimes you just want a quickie
Quickies are great 🤣
@@awright119021 😆
Typical guy answer. Hell. Typical young man answer. No attention span and zero cardio or stamina. What happened to men? 🤔
@@lordhegamonster6931 what a shitlord response.
@@IronForgedUnderPressure What? lmao
"Beyond a reasonable doubt" is just words. What a joke. There was plenty of reasonable doubt in the first trial and the second.
Our system is so crooked.
The videos on this channel are excellent.
juries are terrifyingly thick
I seriously don't understand how he was ever found guilty.
I have zero doubt that David is innocent and it's tragic that he suffered the loss of his family AND had to spend 13 years in jail as the suspect. I'm happy he is free but he should never have spent a day in prison, his suffering the loss of his family was far more than enough pain.
I just had to see what the comment section was saying about this. I’m torn on the matter, but I’m leaning towards the fact that the husband had something to do with it.
His demeanor was that of an innocent man on 911 call and in interview...it's hard to fake that..also his alibi was solid..nobody saw him leave basketball game
Lol you cannot tell if someone is innocent based on how they sound on a 911 call. How ridiculous
For some reason, this is my favorite true crime channel next to jcs. So flawlessly done. Just wish the videos were longer!!!
Better than JCS... They have subtitles
Look up just thought lounge
@@DanaBongard NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT JCS.
Better than JCS… They actually post videos
I agree!
Reminds of the case where Pam hupp ended up being responsible. The husband that was originally falsely convicted had 3 alibis. His alibis were super angry that the state would think they would lie for a murderer. These injustices make me so angry !
so did david know the killer? I'm still a bit confused about this one, tbh. Was it coincidence and some guy he sort of 'knew' killed them all? Did the killer know they were Davids family? David had absolutely nothing to do with this at all?
Bro, im super used for a long time to watch crime stories and i k ow soooo many channels. Well for sure, in english, not french my native language, . You are one of the 10 best crime storie schannel.
Big up and all the best from Switzerland
story channel*
How the police and prosecution figured out that a short timeline was enough time to murder one’s family, sexually assault them and try to clean up the scene is very difficult to wrap my head around.
I think the most likely assumption would have been thinking he hired someone to kill his family, but they stayed hard and fast on a ridiculous timeline.
the autopsy came back with a different time, the woman who presumably heard shots was in a different time zone... instead of re-evaluating their theory, they stretched it to fit the evidence.
It's so infuriating seeing investigators arrest people before the results even come back, based on their belief that they have the right person and that the evidence will come back to confirm their beliefs. They railroad people without even having the evidence. People are supposed to be entitled to a presumption of innocence.
I knew he was innocent from his phone call, I can hear the truth in his voice. He wanted everyone to come. A guilty person wouldn’t want everyone to come.
and when he told them they were getting it all wrong and punching the table...guilty people dont do that shit. they shut down, or stay calm, because they saw the accusation coming lol
@@suki3275 I agree, I knew he was innocent immediately. He should sue the hell out of them. Imagine the trauma for him. Losing his family then dealing with all of that. Jesus lord. They should be ashamed of themselves.
I thought from the phone call he could be faking it so many of them do but during his interview he was definitely showing signs of innocence.
What to you want them to do? Say I did this so no one needs to come out lol
@@maroonforsyth7011 nah nobody is sayin that, you're adding that part lol
I'm literally in tears. So happy that he finally got set free. So sad. To have your family murdered then locked up while mourning. Heart breaking.
That poor man. I can't even comprehend what he has gone through, to lose his family in such a horrific way and then blamed for it, just terrible.
David's reaction in the interview is exactly like an innocent person would have. He strongly denied any participation in the crime. No one really explained where the gun went. Makes sense that the other man convicted of the crime was the sole perpetrator and that he left with the gun.
That was my take too!
why would Boney kill them though?
Well you have been fooled. The key hole in his story is how he got blood splatter on his shirt. Case closed.
@@zipperblues6714 First of all, it's blood SPATTER, not splatter. Secondly, it was proven to NOT be blood SPATTER by experts on both sides in his 3rd trial. You are a fool.
I’m surprised with the 911 tape and his police interview that the cops thought he did it. He looked very truthful and sincere. Weird. I wonder if he had some sort of beef with some of the cops that he worked with??
No they were just following protocol. The husband is always the first suspect. Ex cop or not.
Which is more likely and he is innocent
@@Anthonyistheone that's not protocol, you follow the evidence, these cops were some of the most incompetent detectives i've ever come across
absolutely nothing about this case was protocol
@@Anthonyistheone you clearly dont understand what she means by ''he looked very truthful and sincere''. While he was being interrogated, his body language and expressions would seem very genuine and not exaggerated in any way, to me it sure looks like the investigators are either very inexperienced or they have some type of bias against David.
It’s bonkers that they didn’t get any forensic psychological analysis done. It’s bizarre. Between that and a jury convicting a guy with an 11 man alibi. It’s just really something man…
i have chills all over from his 911 call. Poor poor poor man, I hope and pray he's thriving now
I followed this case from day one through all three trials and always believed he was innocent! I could not believe that they were buying that Killer story. I feel justice has been served and he deserves money for those 13 years.
This f-ed me right up. Fantastic delivery of the story and evidence...had me hanging on every second of the story. Keep up the great work!
You are such an underrated channel. Honestly your work is always top quality.
I honestly don't think there is a worst-case scenario - being accused of killing your own family found guilty and locked up for over 13 years knowing you are innocent - it's unbearable to even think about let alone live through...
thats why he appears as an empty husk of a man walking out of the courtroom and in the interview
worst case ontario
Damn. Whomever is editing this needs a raise.
You make great quality productions. You deserve more subs.
We’ve seen so many perpetrators call the police, and you can tell when someone is acting. That 911 call alone convinced me he was innocent
Often times you can, sometimes you can't. That alone is a piece of the larger puzzle. All pieces should be viewed before rushing to judgement over 1 piece that isn't true 100% of the time.
Except you cannot always tell. Just because you have seen a few examples on youtube doesn't mean you actually know everything. lmao moron
Silly comment. Some people are good actors. You can't tell someone is innocent just from how they sound on a 911 call. Ridiculous 🤣
As former colleagues and friends going after him like that ... Man , so I miss something the fact these two guys knew each other seems odd
The fact that the hoodie was completely ignored is baffling.
April 28, 2022
David Camm was awarded $5,050,000 in damages and also received several settlements that are confidential. The money won’t bring back his family, but the taxpayers of Indiana footed the bill for this entire travesty.
One more thing,
Boney had been represented, in earlier cases by the original prosecutor that made the 1st case against Camm.
The details of all this can be found in the links provided.
Wow. Just wow.
Thanks for the info
They won't because it's newly-minted money like every single payment in such cases and all public spending. Taxation is money DESTRUCTION, not funding.
5 million dollars doesn't make up for OVER A DECADE in prison, public hatred, etc. - the prosecutors need to own up to their mistake. Sending an incorrect sample or whatever that nonesense was? Insane.
He got left in a lot better position than many more people who were convicted on way less evidence. They'll figure it out when his next wife comes up missing like Drew Peterson.
Okay thank you I have been searching for a good UA-cam channel for crime for WEEKS, excellent job!!
Poor guy! I could tell right away he didn’t do it. Spending 13 years in prison and not properly grieving over his wife and children…betrayal of former coworkers…sad! 😢
JFC that first court case had all the reasonable doubt in the world. The fact that he was found guilty is insane.
Perfect upload for my lunch break
Big same
What are my thoughts? My thoughts are that, every time I hear about this case, it angers me. My thoughts are that David Camm was twice convicted by our flawed justice system for a crime he obviously did not commit. I cannot imagine spending ANY time in prison for a crime I didn't commit, no less for 13 years after losing my wife and kids. I wish nothing but for him to find peace after going through all of this.
No justice system is perfect. You could also argue that the justice system worked as it's supposed to because in the end he was granted two appeals [that's extremely rare in itself] and was finally acquitted.
@@JJJJ-gl2uf There's a wide span between "utterly defective" and "not perfect". The judge should have thrown out the case when nobody could explain why 11 witnesses would testify that the accused was with them when the crimes happened. You can't justify a crap justice system with laymen jurors following their "gut feeling" with "no justice system is perfect".
@@JJJJ-gl2uf Yeah, as @jcsjcs2 commented, this is not a case of imperfection. This is a case of getting a conviction at all costs and not admitting when you are wrong. No one should be punished for being wrong as long as honesty and integrity were used throughout the investigation and trial/proceedings. This is a case that is wrong on so many levels and should have never been allowed to proceed. There is blatant disregard for this man's rights and they did everything in their power to convict him, especially when they doubled-down on his involvement after realizing the true culprit of the crimes. Instead of admitting a mistake was made, they allowed a murderer to fabricate a story (and probably helped him come up with it) and used his words as evidence in the case. These types of cases being allowed to proceed, the sheer denial of wrongdoing of any sort, and the lack of punishment to those involved are the reasons why our justice system is, without a doubt, "flawed".
Absolutely baffling and perplexing...
Good video, thankyou. Did they explain about the blood spatter on David Camm's shirt? If he wasn't there, how was this possible?
I'm really digging your channel. You have awesome content, and you do a phenomenal job putting these videos together. Keep up the good work!
Your videos are great man. If i have to be honest, this video is the most JCS like and such a well made video. I love your work. Keep it up!
I can't stop thinking about those children. How tragic.
I knew I remembered this case for some reason. I have no specific reason for distrusting law enforcement, but I always have since I was in my 20’s. I’m 70 now.
I can't imagine all the emotions he must have been feeling in a short period of time. He lost his family, 13+ years of his life, job, friends etc. I really feel like the jury from the first and second trial were incompetent. There's no way I could find him guilty with the evidence provided. It's insane.
just in time for my smoke sesh, cheers to all and thanks for the effort on the video. Let’s get this GOiNNN
Just waiting to get off work!
Joining you from afar!
💨🔥
Oh noooo!!! A criminal watching true crime!!!
How far has this world gone😲
(Just joking guys 😉)
cheers!! 🌲💨
That horrifying scream saying Get everybody out here NOW!!! That man is in shock. That is authentic
I remember this. Boy it's scary how wrong they can be and still make it work the way they want it. People forget reasonable doubt.
That the prosecutor pressed charges the second time after the discovery of the shoes is DISGUSTING. They cared more about winning than justice. It was obvious he wasn't involved at that point.
Probably attempting to alleviate their conscience and the guilt of falsely imprisoning him, no acquittal =no shame
Can you imagine being convicted of a murder with 11 fucking witnesses who could attest to your whereabouts during the crime? Id hate to have those jurors on my trial
That call breaks my soul
Love this channel! I can't understand why there aren't more subscribers. In some older videos, there were the best opening intros ever, like Paul and Karla.
Always ALWAYS use your RIGHT to remain silent but most importantly, DO NOT SPEAK UNTIL YOUR LAWYER IS WITH YOU!!
Wouldn't have helped here.
He’d probably be in jail for life if he took your advice
What did he say that made his chances worse here? It sounds like mainly it was manipulated presentation of data, unrelated witness testimony, etc. that led to the earlier convictions
My god I didn’t even think it was him from the beginning. How did his own colleagues in the police force get this so wrong. This is crazy.
Not only that but deny the mountain of evidence proving his innocents
what a roller coaster of a case! jesus , how have i not heard of this before. im beyond old enough, i think this was drowned out by the bobbit case, the OJ case & 911
Yeah buddy, thanks for the upload!!!😊
He did have one of the more believable reactions to interrogation I've seen but that could be from his police experience. Strange case.
JAke : Yes indeed.
if he did fake that hes the greatest actor of our lifetime
So, i started watching this assuming David would be guilty. Then i heard the 911 call and thought, "man, if this guy is guilty he's a GREAT actor." I think he's 100% innocent
Judges should face severe punishment for wrongful conviction like this.
