Three Sides To Every Story

The anguish over the lost habeas petition wasn't the only difficulty that Temujin Kensu and his supporters would face in the fall of 2010. A month before the decision, he stood before the Michigan State Parole Board, hoping to have his sentence commuted and ultimately win his freedom. But as the board peppered him with questions designed to assess his readiness for release, Kensu seemed to be his own worst enemy. And when multiple witnesses stepped forward to strenuously oppose his freedom, the weight of their testimony once again crushed his hopes of walking beyond the prison walls.
Despite this considerable and rather alarming oppositional testimony, many influential advocacy organizations and powerful supporters remained steadfast in their belief in Kensu's innocence, sustaining their efforts in the hope of reversing what they considered his wrongful conviction. But were his advocates engaging in a righteous battle to correct a grave injustice, or were they instead unwitting pawns in a masterfully orchestrated deception?
