YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAward-winning reporter Bill Proctor and journalist and streamer Joy Marie Mann discuss the case of Temujin Kensu, who has been wrongfully imprisoned for 37 years for a murder committed more than 400 miles away from him.
Bill Proctor, founder of Proving Innocence, is an award-winning journalist, reporter, producer, and anchorperson whose career of nearly forty years spanned electronic media, radio, television, and documentaries. A graduate of the University of Maryland, Bill received his degree in Sociology and Corrections with a minor in Journalism. He concluded his career as senior staff reporter for WXYZ-TV in Southfield, MI.
In the mid-1990s, he produced a series of specials on the slaying of community-college student, Scott Macklem. Through his investigations, Bill became convinced that Frederick Freeman (Temujin Kensu), the man convicted of killing Macklem, was not guilty. His passion for redressing this injustice led Bill to found Proving Innocence in 2007. In May 2013, Bill "retired" and started Bill Proctor and Associates, a communications consulting firm. In 2017 Bill formed a new organization, which looks at a multitude of issues surrounding wrongful convictions, which go beyond the scope of Proving Innocence.
Joy Marie Mann is an organizer, activist, writer, journalist and long-time streamer. She resides in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. She is the author of the book "Our Friend, Temujin: Serving Life, Changing Lives"
