What the attorney thinks - Temujin Kensu

One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Today I sit down with OMR's resident attorney at law Michael Leonard to discuss the incredible case of Temujin Kensu. Michael certainly has some strong opinions on what he's heard from this 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

This is the insane story of Fred Freeman as told by him.
