Floyd Bledsoe, who was wrongfully arrested and imprisoned for 15 years after his brothers raped and murdered 14-year-old Camille Arfmann, is set to receive $7.5 million in compensation from Jefferson County.
A man who spent 15 years in prison for a rape and murder his brother confessed to will be given $7.5 million by the county where he was wrongfully arrested and convicted.
He was 23 when he was convicted of first-degree murder in 2000, despite his brother having turned himself in and led detectives to the teenager’s body under a pile of trash in Oskaloosa, Kansas. Floyd, who was strapped into a bullet-proof vest before being driven to court during his trial, was sentenced to life in prison.
In one of three notes he left behind, he admitted ‘I had sex with her, and killed her’, Jefferson County sheriff’s Captain of Detectives Kirk Vernon testified that year.
