About this episode

Aaron Habel joins Jayson Blair to discuss the murder case of Scott Macklem and the conviction of Fred Freeman, exploring new questions around the case.

Aaron Habel, the host of the Generation Why podcast, joins me to discuss the murder of Scott Macklem and the conviction of Fred Freeman, who changed his name to Temujin Kensu. The case has been approached from many angles over the years — who killed Macklem or whether Kensu was wrongfully convicted. Aaron, in a new season of his Framed podcast, is widening the lens to ask another question.
