51. Additional Insights into Temujin Kensu Sep 25, 2024

Show notes

Crystal Merrill, a key witness in Temujin Kensu's 1987 trial for the murder of Scott Macklem, recently shared a transcript of Kensu's 2010 commutation hearing with us. She believed it would be useful in further "profiling" Kensu. Although we hadn't planned another episode on this case, we felt it was important to review this new material and its potential impact on the original profile.
