- Appeal to Michigan’s governor is the last chance for Temujin Kensu at freedom
Temujin Kensu, serving a life sentence for a 1986 murder conviction he claims is wrongful, has exhausted legal avenues for release after courts and a conviction integrity unit rejected his appeals. His supporters, including the Michigan Innocence Clinic, argue evidence shows he was hundreds of miles away during the crime and that his trial was compromised by witness issues. His final chance for freedom lies in a clemency appeal to Michigan Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
