Summary

Today I sit down with Jason Usry, editor of our shows, but we're not talking about that - it's about his upcoming project INCONCEIVABLE: THE STORY OF TEMUJIN KENSU. Jason is going on a deep dive into the murder of Scott Macklem and the wrongful conviction of Temujin Kensu. This case confounded us when we covered it back in episodes 66 and 68 in 2021 and we're stepping off the journey of his new project with him today.

0:00.0	Wednesday, November 5th,
0:07.0	P. Wednesday, November 5th, 1986.
0:21.6	Port Huron, Michigan.
0:24.6	A cold, ordinary morning.

0:59.2	Timogen had alibis placing him over 400 miles away at the moment the murder occurred. The trial that
1:05.7	followed was rife with controversy, marked by shaky evidence, questionable testimony, and a conviction so

1:26.7	Now, for the first time, we're taking you inside a real-time
1:31.2	investigation, featuring new revelations from witnesses, expert insights from those who've studied

1:47.3	Not just for Timogen Kinsu, but also for Scott Macklam.
1:52.1	Two life sentences.
