Suspended Justice

Some good stuff from the folks over at the Indiana Daily Student:

Katie Mettler:

HE'D ALREADY BURNED HIS PRISON JUMPSUIT AND SECURED A NEW DRIVER'S LICENSE. He'd put back on his finger the wedding ring he wasn't allowed to wear in prison, the ring his wife gave him before they said he murdered her and their children.

Two juries had convicted him. Then, in October, a third jury acquitted him. Now, he had returned to the house where he grew up, but he still wasn't free. Camm felt the staring eyes and feared the threats. In his hometown, the 49-year-old was still known as the monster who'd gunned down his family.

As Dr. Phil droned on the television in the living room, there came a knock at the door. Reporters. Camm welcomed them inside, but when they offered handshakes, he opened his arms instead.

"Oh," he said, smiling. "I'm a hugger."
