Three years after leaving prison, Floyd Bledsoe has a wife and children.

But still does not have help from the state in building his new life.

"It’s like being on trial all over again," Bledsoe told KCTV 5. "At some point, you lose faith in humanity, your faith in people wanting to right wrongs."

Bledsoe advocated for the state's new compensation bill for people who are wrongfully convicted. He even stood alongside former governor Jeff Colyer as it was signed into law.

"When they passed this bill (I thought) things are going to move forward, things are going to get better, things are going to get easier," Bledsoe said.

Bledsoe spent 16 years in prison. For him, the compensation bill could mean about $1 million for education and health care.

But KCTV 5's Angie Ricono learned

that the state of Kansas still has not granted the compensation request Bledsoe officially submitted in July. The Kansas Attorney General's Office is evaluating the merits of his claim.

Bledsoe's legal team is frustrated. Alice Craig with KU Law's Project for Innocence, which worked with the Midwest Innocence Project on Bledsoe's case, says his is a clear case of innocence.

"I'm not sure what the hold up is," she told KCTV.

Almost 20 years ago, Bledsoe's sister-in-law, 14-year-old Camille Arfmann, was raped and murdered in Jefferson Co., Kansas. His brother, Thomas, initially admitted to the crime, but then changed his story and blamed Floyd.

Floyd Bledsoe was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. DNA tests later linked Thomas Bledsoe to the crime, and he confessed in a suicide note which also included new information for law enforcement to investigate.

One month later, a judge dropped the charges and Floyd Bledsoe was freed.

Now, Floyd Bledsoe told KCTV, the Attorney General's holdup is simply wrong.

"I’m waiting on the court system to do the right thing," he said.

The Kansas Attorney General's office declined comment, saying they do not comment on pending litigation.

In December, the AG's office agreed to its first compensation payment under the new law. It approved more than $1 million dollars to Richard Jones. He spent 17 years in prison for an aggravated robbery in the Kansas City area that he did not commit.
