Today we start the story of former high ranking gang member Jayme Rodgers. Jayme was a gang guy from a pretty young age. Growing up in a home without much love or stability meant Jayme would look outside the home for acceptance and belonging.This would sadly mean that he would fall into the gang life, he not only fell into it but threw himself into it. Jayme lived and breathed gang life, he believed in it, it consumed him. He would do anything for his gang and this attitude would finding him given a sentence of 45 years for a drive by shooting.Once inside prison Jayme of course continue his gang education and would slowly climb the ladder to become second in command. However during an extended period in solitary confinement, due to gang related violence, Jayme’s life would take a sudden turn. He would start educating himself and started to discover he didn't have to be violent or angry anymore and so he would face his toughest challenge, discovering who he really was.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

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 laterNo 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 theoryThis is the insane story of Fred Freeman as told by him.Join the OMR family today to start enjoying all the bonus extras hereOne Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.

Relationships are hard, they take work, communication, mutual respect and love. Now just imagine you were trying to do all of that while your other half was serving a life sentence behind bars. Paula Kensu is the wife of Temujin Kensu, the man from Michigan serving a life sentence for a murder he says he didn't commit.Paula and Temujin did not meet at a bar, on tinder or through friends, Paula and Temujin met while Temujin was incarcerated. After reading about Temujin's story Paula felt compelled to reach out and see if she could help. They would start chatting via the prisons email system and become close friends and that friendship would blossom into love and marriage.Often times when someone is incarcerated they leave behind family members, mothers, fathers, kids and partners. These family members are not physically behind bars but mentally they are doing the time with them. A daily struggle of emotions and the stress of not knowing if or when they might have their loved one home. Today I sit down to talk with Paula about all of these struggles an emotions as well as the added stress of trying to get justice for her husband.Join the OMR family HERE and start enjoying the bonus extras now.

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.One Minute Remaining LIVE in Melbourne get your tix now Join the One Minute Remaining Jury via Appl + HERE and get OMR early and ad free for as little as $1.69 a week!Become a Jury member on Patreon and find us on Facebook here.
