One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

download the help Temujin kit here 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 later.No 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 theory.This is the insane story of Fred Freeman as told by him.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Eye witness testimony is still considered by many as very strong and compelling evidence when it come's to a crime.If you have a very confident witness on the stand during a trial who can point out the defendant as the one who committed a crime then this can be seen as great evidence to a jury during a trial.However eye witness testimony is still the leading cause for wrongful convictions with around 70% of convictions that have been overturned after DNA evidence proved that the eye witness testimony could not have been accurate.With so many cases we deal with involving eye witness testimony I thought It was about time we spoke with an expert in this field. Dr. Smalarz is an expert in the field of miss identification and witness testimony and today talks me through just some of what can go wrong with our memories when it comes to picking a criminial.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Recently I have been watching the series Dr Death on the streaming service Stan here in Australia. It's a true crime series that is extremally unnerving as both season 1 and 2 tell stories of Dr's who would weave a web of lies, manipulation and utter devastation. Countless patients would have their lives forever changed at the hands of these men, men who they were supposed to be able to trust, with some patients even dying from what was done to them.I wanted to find out more about this world and these Dr's and nurses who go from taking an oath to help people to ultimately destroing lives. So today I sit down with former Special Agent Bruce Sackman for a fascinating and quiet terrifying two part discussion on medical serial killers.When veterans hospital patients who are recovering well all of a sudden start to die in increasing numbers, it’s up to VA Special Agent in Charge Bruce Sackman to find out why. His shocking discovery rips open the hidden world of what goes on behind the bedside curtains when a killer doctor or nurse decides a patient must die, as detailed in his book Behind the Murder Curtain.The true story of Bruce Sackman, Special Agent in Charge of the Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General. Sackman’s main responsibilities had been investigating white-collar crimes such as embezzlement when he is drawn into the macabre world of doctors and nurses who murder their patients. Sackman evolves from an investigator of routine cases to the world’s leading expert on Medical Serial Killers—MSKs—doctors and nurses who ply their evil trade hidden behind the privacy curtain at a patient’s bedside.Behind the Murder Curtain tells how this dedicated investigator brought down four MSKs in Veterans Hospitals while developing the RED FLAGS PROTOCOL, which is now taught to investigators and forensic nurses throughout the world as a tool for stopping an MSK.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

October 2nd 2023 marked the 10th annual wrongful conviction day, a day designed to bring attention to a major issue within the American justice system, wrongful convictions. Since 1989 more than 3,400 people have been exonerated in the United States, with more than 30,000 years lost between them. In 2022 alone 248 people would be freed from US prisons after being wrongfully incarcerated. Temujin Kensu and his supporters were hoping that this year the governor of Michigan may finally address his incarceration and look to free him but sadly this was not the case.Join the OMR family here and start enjoying the benefits now.-------------------------------------------------------------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.

Recently we covered the case of South Australian man Henry Keogh. A man convicted for the murder of his former fiancé Anna Jane Cheney. It's a crime he always maintained he was innocent of. After nearly two decades behind bars Henry's conviction would be overturned and he would be released from prison. While Henry was incarcerated he had a close group of loyal and dedicated fiends and professionals helping him fight the Australian legal system from the outside, one of those was a lady named Faye Hambour.Faye started out like many people in the Australian public, assured that a guilty man had gone to prison, however after a chance invite to a lecture, that was being given by Dr Bob Moles on the discussion of wrongful conviction's, Faye Hambour's life would suddenly take a different path and force her to begin questioning her belief's in the guilt of a man she once believed to be a murderer.Become a member of the OMR family here and start enjoying the benefits now.

Today I catch up with the man they call the Alaskan Avenger. A few months ago Jason went in front of the parole board to see if he would be granted the chance to go home. In a strange turn of events Jason was granted his parole. However this would not happen for another five years. Not one to give up could Jason have another chance at early release?Jason Vukovich, also known as the "Alaskan Avenger," was a victim of physical and sexual abuse. He endured a childhood of beatings and rape at the hands of the man who was supposed to be his protector, his stepfather, Larry Lee Fulton. Fulton married Jason's mother and adopted him at the tender age of four.The childhood abuse led Jason down a dark path to becoming the hammer-wielding "Alaskan Avenger" on the hunt for pedophiles. He is now serving 23 years at the Spring Creek Correctional Center for assaulting three pedophiles.Get a copy of Jason's new book HEREHOTLINE:03 5294 0569Got a Question about a case? comment or just thoughts you'd like to share.

We recently told the story of Zach Peterson, a man found guilty of 2nd degree murder even though the jury not only believed him not to be the shooter but also that he wasn't even near the crime when it occurred. He was found guilty using the 'Felony Murder Rule'. Today I sit down with OMR's voice of reason and defense attorney Michael Leonard to discuss the case and the Felony Murder Rule.On Tuesday January 18th 2011 just after 2pm police get a call about gun shots and a man lying in a pool of blood at the Sunset Trailer Park off Lenoir Street in South Columbia. The following day at 1:30pm police would say that Zach Peterson was their main suspect in the death of 31 year old James Leon Porter, killed during a suspected drug deal gone bad. Zach has never denied setting up the deal and driving James Porter to the location, however he says that was the extent of what he knows from that day as he would leave Mr. Porter at the trailer park and drive across town and would later find out things went bad and James had been shot. At trial Zach's defence would bring strong evidence to help prove he was not in fact the shooter in this crime. The jury would later decide that they did not in fact believe Zach to be the shooter however he would still be found guilty of 2nd Degree Murder, why? the Felony Murder rule. EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

From time to time I like to let you know about a show that I have found that I think you might like. Well recently I came across 'The Prosecutors' with Brett and Alice. Two real life prosecutors who take a look at cases from their view point. I really enjoyed taking a look at the courtroom from the prospective of the prosecution and I got in touch with them and invited them on to talk about my particular gripes with the justice system, including jury trials, the felony murder rule and many other interesting topics.It was a fun chat and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

Henry Keogh is an Australian convicted of murder. He grew up in Adelaide, South Australia and was educated at Saint Ignatius College and briefly at the School of Dentistry at The University of Adelaide.In 1995 he was sentenced to 26 years in prison for the 1994 murder of his 29-year-old fiancée, Anna-Jane Cheney, then head of Professional Conduct at the Law Society of South Australia: it was alleged that Keogh had planned the murder for over two years.Mr Keogh and his family have always maintained his innocence, and raised their doubts regarding some of the evidence upon which the conviction was based. Mainly that of South Australia's former Chief Forensic Pathologist Dr Manock.Henry admitted to signing five life insurance policies on behalf of Cheney. Whereas the prosecution alleged the combined value of $1.15 million AUD was motive for the murder, Henry says that these were submitted to prevent insurance agencies he had established from lapsing, and that the amount eligible to claim was closer to $400,000. The prosecution would conceded during the trial that Anna-Jane was aware of at least two of these policies.After over 20 years Henry would subsequently be released from prison on appeal, the prosecution would look to take him back to court on the charges but it would never eventuate.This is the story of Henry Keogh as told by him.Join the OMF family here and start enjoying the benefits now.EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

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 theory.This is the insane story of Fred Freeman as told by him.Join the OMR family here and start enjoying the bonus extras!EARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.

The story of Dr Colin Manock, the former Chief Forensic Pathologist for South Australia is one of long term failure of the SA legal system. This was a man who was unqualified to give evidence in courtrooms and yet he did so, time and time again, with some 400 criminal cases that many say should be re-opened. It is the largest volume of potential wrongful convictions in a single jurisdiction – due to one pathologist – in history.Dr Robert Moles is a man who has been trying to correct the injustices created by the failings of Dr Manock and the SA legal system for decades. I first met Dr Moles when I was introduced to him by Henry Keough. What I was not prepared for was what Dr Moles was about to tell me over the course of a 3 hour discussion. For more information on Dr Manock and the cases he has been involved in you can check out Dr Moles website hereEARLY AND AD FREE ACCESS: for as little as $1.69 a week!Apple + HEREPatreon and find us on Facebook here.
