5 million sounds like 5 pennies when you have gone through what he did 💔

[CupcakeMcGregor]

He deserves far more. That poor man, he lost EVERYTHING.

[reckersworld]

Ordering the killer to pay 3M? Like that's ever going to happen.

[vannessaraska]

The state and the county both were ordered to pay him 5 million in cases that were earlier settled.

[coach.dave.lingner]

I think our government should pay him $3 million dollars

[sailasimone]

Did you hear what she just said? She said the judge ordered the killer, who is in prison, to pay Camm 3 million. How ridiculous is that? It just means Camm won't get any money. So who should pay the 3 Million? The ones who put him in prison. Sue the justice system for miscarriage of justice.

Can you imagine loosing your family this way and then your own turn one you and send you to prison for it. What a horrific nightmare for this poor guy.

[Kylieannn]

I remember this. So sad because he was charged with the murders. Imagine grieving the loss of your beloved family whilst being charged!
Dave is free and was given 3 million in compensation. I’m guessing he would have much preferred the support of his colleagues and a proper investigation 😢

P.S. - And all this took 10 years to achieve after found NOT guilty. 😡

[RudeGoat]

3 million? for 13 years? an endless mountain of emotional distress. There is no amount that will cover that. But 3 million should be the down payment on this mans restitutions

[me-pbgi]

Money doesn't make up for lost time you will never get back!!Shame on the involved who thought he was guilty!

[MsBatbird]

The killer took his wife and kids from him, the state took his life. The state should be paying that judgement.

[TheSkiddum]

This poor dude. I listened to his call and you can tell hes trying to keep it together when he calls but as soon as he has to say it outloud it kills him. He breaks down amd starts begging them to hurry and get their. The pain in his voice is something else and theirs no way to describe it. I cant imagine how he felt. And then to get changed and spend 13 years in prison for that. Ive been inside. This dude would have had a bad bad time inside

[AngiesByKim]

Poor guy. I can't imagine losing all I love then go to jail.

[Oshnblu]

3 million dollars is nothing for a man who lost his entire Family and no one believed him. .There is no real justice for what this man had to endure. He lost his wife and kids who were priceless, then wrongly convicted twice and lost his freedom for 13 yrs. God Bless this poor man. Talk about being kicked when you’re down. He put his life on the line every day as police officer to protect the public only to have everyone against him. No Justice..

[linds]

The original judge and prosecutor need to spend 13years in prison.

[SaltyCado]

This money means NOTHING to this man. They owe this man 13 years that hell never get back and the sanity that he lost for sitting behind bars for the murders of his own beloved family.. they took everything from this man

[Hunt_G]

Three million a year for the next 13 years sounds more responsible.

[freyastar]

Wait he did 13yrs and only got 3mil? So someone killed his wife and babies. His brothers in blue decided it was him, locked him up. Slandered his name.. did he even get to attend the services? Great cop work guys!! Splendid..

[stormybored]

😲 how can that county charge him 2x without really gathering the evidence first before rendering that conviction🤨and Mr. Camm spending 13 yrs in jail. No amount of money can pay the amount of psychological and emotional damage this man suffered from those13 yrs lost years, not to mention the pain of losing his family and betrayal of the institution he upheld in his life🤨. How in the world 😤
I feel the 💔of this man.
