One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Wrongful conviction day - Temujin Kensu


Listen Later

October 2nd 2023 marked the 10th annual wrongful conviction day, a day designed to bring attention to a major issue within the American justice system, wrongful convictions. 


Since 1989 more than 3,400 people have been exonerated in the United States, with more than 30,000 years lost between them. In 2022 alone 248 people would be freed from US prisons after being wrongfully incarcerated. 


Temujin Kensu and his supporters were hoping that this year the governor of Michigan may finally address his incarceration and look to free him but sadly this was not the case.

-------------------------------------------------------------


In November of 1986 a man named Scott Macklam was fatally shot in the car park of a community college in Port Huron Michigan.


Fred Freeman who now goes by Temujin Kensu who was over 400 miles away in Escanaba was subsequently arrested, tried and found guilty of the crime and remains in prison almost 37 years later


No one saw the shooting that Temujin is convicted of committing. Instead, two men testified to seeing a stranger who possibly resembled Temujin at some point before or after the shooting. One of the witnesses was hypnotized before he testified.


No less than nine unimpeached neutral alibi witnesses testified to at trial, that Temujin was over 400 miles away at the time of this crime. The prosecution countered by suggesting that Temujin theoretically could have chartered a plane to go commit the murder and return in time to be seen by his alibi witnesses.


The biggest issue with that is the prosecution never offered any actual evidence to support this theory
