Fighting for the innocent - Imran Syed

Fighting for the innocent - Imran Syed

Today I sit down with the co director of the Michigan Innocence clinic, Imran Syed who is also the attorney working on the case of Temujin Kensu. In the United States it is estimated that as many as 20,000 people are currently wrongfully incarcerated.


With such a high number of people fighting to clear their name, sometimes all they have is organisations like the Michigan Innocence clinic and people like Imran to turn to.

Imran and I had a fascinating conversation as to why this happens on such a high scale in the US, as well as the flaws in the system itself and of course the case of Temujin Kensu.
