David Camm was a former Indiana State Trooper who was sentenced for the murder of his wife and two children at tgeir Georgetown, Indiana home on September 28, 2000. He spent 13 years in prison but after a third trial, he was acquitted and released in 2013.

David's case highlights some of the failures in forensics and where the justice system can go wrong. It highlights the need for scientific scrutiny, awareness of bias and tunnel vision. Bloodstain Pattern Evidence was at the center of his case and we discuss how a few droplets of blood on his t-shirt became a large shifting point in the bloodstain pattern analysis community.
