       William Wells III is sentenced to death for the murder of
       another inmate, William Chapman.
       STARKE, Fla. (WCJB) - A man convicted of murdering another
       inmate at Florida State Prison in Bradford County was sentenced
       to death Tuesday, May 25, 2021.
       45 year-old William Wells III was already serving multiple life
       sentences for murders in Bradford and Duval counties when
       prosecutors say he murdered William Chapman.
       They say he, with the help of fellow inmate Leo Boatman, held
       down Chapman and stabbed him with metal shanks.
       TV20 talked to Chapman’s sister back in 2019. Her and her
       husband blamed the Florida Department of Corrections for
       negligence in her brother’s death. The couple said Chapman
       should not have been in the same room as the men who killed him.
       Wells pled guilty to the crime, saying he killed the man in
       order to get on death row. Later, he asked for leniency,
       expressing remorse.
       The sentencing process started in August, 2020. The State of
       Florida provided evidence of Wells history of violence, dating
       back to 2003 and including multiple murder and attempted murder
       cases.
       His change of heart did not sway judge Mark W. Moseley who
       sentenced Wells to death. During sentencing, Mosely said, “The
       aggravating circumstances far outweigh the mitigating
       circumstances which the Court has heard and considered.”
       Boatman is still awaiting trial. The sentence is subject to
       automatic review by the Florida Supreme Court within two years.
