CNEWS Weird News - Former prisoner learns fellow inmate charged with crime: "Ruffner was charged with the murder of a nine-year-old girl - the very crime for which a wrongly convicted Bloodsworth served nine years.
Bloodsworth, 43, was twice convicted of the girl's murder and was sentenced to die. But after struggling for years to prove his innocence, he was cleared in 1993, becoming the first American freed from prison because of DNA evidence.
Ruffner was in prison at the same time as Bloodsworth for attempted rape and attempted murder. "
