PORT HURON, Mich. (AP) – The attorney general’s office says it found no new evidence to support a claim of innocence by a man who was convicted of committing murder in 1986 in a Port Huron college parking lot. Temujin Kensu’s case was examined by Valerie Newman. She heads the conviction integrity unit in the Wayne County prosecutor’s office and has worked to free people who were wrongly convicted. Kensu, formerly known as Fred Freeman, is serving a life sentence for the fatal shooting of Scott Macklem. Kensu insists he was in the Upper Peninsula when Macklem was killed. Alibi witnesses backed him up at trial, but a pilot suggested Kensu could have committed the murder and then dashed back to Escanaba.
