One Minute Remaining – Stories from the inmates — True Crime
One Minute Remaining – Stories from the inmates

One Minute Remaining is a true crime and prison podcast featuring first-hand stories from inmates serving lengthy sentences inside prisons across the United States. From murder and attempted murder to robbery, arson and claims of wrongful conviction, these are criminal cases told from behind prison walls.

Hosted by Jack Laurence, One Minute Remaining gives prisoners the opportunity to tell their stories in their own words. We examine the crimes, the evidence and the cases that led to their incarceration, while hearing directly from the people serving the sentences.

Some maintain their innocence. Others admit exactly what they did. Some are serving life sentences or decades behind bars. The purpose isn’t to prove them innocent or guilty — it’s to hear their account, examine the case against them, and let you decide what you think.

From murder cases and disputed convictions to extraordinary stories from inside the American prison system, One Minute Remaining takes listeners beyond the headlines and into cases they may never otherwise have heard.

Hosted by Australian podcaster Jack Laurence.

Fighting for the innocent - Imran Syed Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

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.

The facebook jury - Michael Leonard Jul 18, 2023

Show notes

In our most recent catch up with everyone's favourite attorney at law Michael Leonard we discussed the self-defense case of David Bomber. Michael had himself recently wrapped up a trial where the defense's case was that of self defense. So Michael asked our Facebook community if they were on the jury of his case what would they vote, guilty of not?

So we put it to you with an overwhelming response, so today I take the results to Michael and see what the actual verdict in the case was.

An impossible murder - Temujin Kensu p4 Jul 17, 2023

Show notes

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.

A case to answer - Evaristo Salas Jnr Jul 12, 2023

Show notes

Recently I caught up with Jnr Salas after a massive decision was recently made in the court of appeals and it seems some in this case will be forced to answer some seriously tough questions.

Evaristo Salas was accused of firing two shots into Jose Arreola’s head in Sunnyside in November 1995.

He was tried as an adult and convicted by a jury of first-degree murder three days after his 16th birthday and was sentenced to nearly 33 years in prison. The gun used in the murder was never recovered and there was no physical evidence linking Jnr to the killing.

His conviction was based on the testimony of a police informant, Bill Bruhn, and Arreola’s girlfriend, Ofelia Cortez (formerly Gonzalez), who was there when her partner was shot.

Many TV shows have uncovered horrific truths about the so called 'evidence' in this case, yet Jnr still remains incarcerated.

This is his story, as told by him.

A medical emergency - Karen Newell Jun 21, 2023

Show notes

Today I catch up with Karen Newell, it's been a while since Karen and I actually spoke. We initially recorded our interview last year and since then a lot has happened to Karen inside the prison, including a recent health scare.

Its February 20th 1994 on Sunday night a man by the name of Jon Newell would be shot multiple times on the side of a highway in the middle nowhere between coco beach and Orlando. A woman would would frantically wave down passing traffic screaming that her husband had been shot.. that woman was Karen Newell. A sheriffs deputy arrived on the scene but Mr Newell had already succumbed to his injuries.

Karen would tell detectives her husband was the victim of a car jacking gone wrong but would later be arrested and convicted for what police said was an orchestrated killing.

This is Karen's story as told by her.
