100 Years for Hamlet Killing

(Starke County, IN) - Barring appeal, a Plymouth man may be spending the rest of his life behind bars for killing a Hamlet woman during a home invasion this summer.

 

Last month 40-year-old David Campbell was found guilty by a jury of over a dozen counts related to burglary and violence. In August Campbell had forced his way into an elderly couple’s home on the north side of Hamlet near U.S. 30. 72-year-old Connie Bailey died from injuries sustained in the attack.

 

Earlier this week in Starke County Circuit Court, Campbell was sentenced to 100 years in  prison.
