Many people strongly believe Temujin Kensu could not have committed the murder for which he’s done decades of hard time. A big setback for Kensu and those who have committed time and energy to try to prove his innocence and gain his release on Tuesday (May 31).

The Michigan attorney general’s office said 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.

PORT HURON, Mich. – Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has turned down a request to release a man who insists he was wrongly convicted of murder in a college parking lot in Port Huron in 1986, his supporters said Monday. Whitmer spokeswoman Chelsea Parisio confirmed that Kensu's clemency request was denied. Kensu’s supporters include former U.S. Sen. Carl Levin. “It's a big blow to his supporters and justice in Michigan that this miscarriage of justice continues to live on,” Sanders said.
