Attorneys for a man convicted of a 2002 Warren kidnapping and armed robbery say there is overwhelming proof that ruling should be overturned due to confessions 10 years later by two other men along with other new evidence, some of which was not provided by authorities.
Kenyon Clinton, now 40, previously of Detroit, was convicted in February 2005 of kidnapping and robbing a man a gunpoint at the Mobil gas station at Eight Mile and Schoenherr roads around midnight May 14, 2002, following a trial in Macomb County Circuit Court. He was sentenced to 37 years in prison.
The culprits let the victim go 20 minutes later in a nearby Detroit neighborhood.

WARREN, Mich. – The Warren City Council is refusing to pay nearly $5 million in city bills because the administration won’t pay for legal services that Mayor Jim Fouts says the council sought “illegally” earlier this year.
Fouts issued a press release on Thursday, Dec. 10 to call out the Warren City Council for its refusal to pay nearly $5 million to vendors that provided “essential” services to the community. The council voted on Dec. 8 not to pay city bills until the city paid a legal firm that was hired by the council in May.
Warren City Council members voted 7-0 to at least temporarily opt out of recreational marijuana on Dec. 8. Attorneys representing Warren and the Council said the city can opt back in if they so choose, as soon as their desired ordinance is put in place.

Just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in.– Michael Corleone
Truer words have never been spoken about my time here in Fraser, Michigan as the unelected, self-appointed Peoples Mayor to the 15k people of this quaint lil city in the middle of Macomb County. Every time I think I can focus on court cases being held or that might be held by the pretty building in the picture here (Supreme Court Building) I get pulled back in and I realize Groundhog Day the movie is really a thing.
Kinda.
I have written about the problems, corruption, and just general trouble of the Lil town I live in right here on Red State many times. If you think that it is just the Federal or State governments that have problems, you should really check out where you live. Where do you think the State and Fed peeps learned how to do the stuff they do? Most likely in your local town hall. So, going over the 5,000-foot view quickly of what I am referring to, the city I live in has gone through some stuff
