THAT’S OUR TOP STORY TONIGHT. GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US. I’M KIMBERLY GILL AND I’M DEVIN
SCILLIAN.
>> FOR THREE DECADES, POLICE
HAVE SAID TIM AND KEN SUE COULD
NOT HAVE KILLED A SAINT CLAIR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENT IN
1986. AND NOW MUHAMMAD ALI’S
DAUGHTER IS ECHOING THAT
SENTIMENT. JACQUELINE FRANCIS
SAT DOWN WITH KHALIAH ALI, WHO’S
IN MICHIGAN VISITING TEMÜJIN IN
PRISON. JACQUELINE YEAH, KHALIAH
ALI MET WITH TEMÜJIN AT A MACOMB
COUNTY PRISON JUST IN TIME FOR
HIS 60TH BIRTHDAY.
>> ALI SAYS SHE’S NOW HOOKED ON
THE CAUSE AND WON’T BACK DOWN
UNTIL HE’S A FREE MAN.
>> ON NOVEMBER 5TH, 1986. SCOTT
MACKLEM, THE SON OF THE MAYOR OF
CROSWELL, MICHIGAN, WAS FATALLY
SHOT IN THE PARKING LOT OF SAINT
CLAIR COUNTY COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
>> WRONGFUL CONVICTION IS THE
POPULAR CRIME PODCAST THAT’S
BROUGHT A LOT OF ATTENTION TO A
MICHIGAN CASE. THE EPISODE IS
ABOUT TEMJEN KENZOU, A MAN
CONVICTED OF MURDERING SAINT
CLAIRE, COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENT SCOTT MCCOMB IN 1987.
THE PODCAST AND ITS HOSTS EVEN
GETTING THE ATTENTION OF
MUHAMMAD ALI’S DAUGHTER, KHALIAH
ALI.
>> I TRULY BELIEVE THAT IF MY
FATHER WAS HERE TODAY, THIS IS
THE CAUSE HE WOULD BE FIGHTING.
>> FOR DECADES, EXPERTS AND
LAWYERS HAVE SAID TEMJEN COULD
NOT HAVE COMMITTED THE CRIME, AS
SEVERAL WITNESSES TESTIFIED HE
WAS IN THE UPPER PENINSULA.
NOWHERE NEAR PORT HURON AT THE
TIME OF THE MURDER.
>> WHEN YOU LOOK AT THAT AND
SAY, OKAY, HOW WAS THIS PERSON
WHO WAS 400 MILES AWAY ABLE TO
MURDER THIS PERSON, IT MAKES NO
SENSE. AND THEN YOU KEEP DIGGING
AND YOU REALIZE THAT, YOU KNOW,
THERE WAS A PROSECUTOR WHO WAS
LOOKING TO CLIMB POLITICALLY.
YOU KNOW, IT ALL HAS THE
HALLMARKS OF WRONGFUL
CONVICTIONS. THERE WAS ALSO
NEVER ANY FORENSIC EVIDENCE
TYING HIM TO THE CRIME.
>> TIMMONS EX-GIRLFRIEND WAS
DATING THE VICTIM AT THE TIME OF
HIS DEATH.
>> THE POLICE BECAME OVERLY
ATTRACTED TO THIS KIND OF EASY
NARRATIVE OF THE JEALOUS
EX-BOYFRIEND. MUST HAVE DONE IT.
ALI CAME TO MICHIGAN TO MEET
TEMUJIN AND HIS WIFE, VOWING TO
FIGHT ALONGSIDE THEM.
>> I HAD THE ABILITY TO VISIT
HIM THE OTHER DAY AND SEE HIM
EYE TO EYE AND HUG HIM AND SAY
HELLO AND KNOW THAT HE’S A HUMAN
BEING, NOT A WILD ANIMAL OR A
DANGEROUS KILLER. REALLY FILLED
MY HEART WITH THAT MUCH MORE
FIGHT THAT WE’RE GOING TO NEED
TO PULL HIM THROUGH THIS.
>> THE COUPLE GIFTED ALI, THIS
CHARM BRACELET AS A THANK YOU
AND A REMINDER, LOOK AT THIS
BRACELET.
>> EVERY DAY AND KEEP TEMUJIN IN
MIND. AND IN HEART. AND WITH
THIS FIST, KEEP UP THE FIGHT.
THERE IS SO, SO MUCH MORE TO
THIS STORY.
>> BUT TO BE BRIEF, TEMÜJIN’S
LEGAL TEAM THINK HIS BEST SHOT
AT FREEDOM IS FOR HIM TO BE
GRANTED CLEMENCY BY THE
GOVERNOR’S OFFICE.
>> HIS TEAM HAS BEEN IN TOUCH
WITH GOVERNOR GRETCHEN WHITMER’S
STAFF RECENTLY, SO WE’LL SEE
WHAT HAPPENS. REPORTING LIVE IN
DETROIT, JACQUELINE FRANCIS,
LOCAL 4.
>> WE WILL WATCH CLOSELY. ALL
RIGHT, JACQUELINE. NOW NEW
INFORMATION TONIGHT IN THE
DEADLY SHOOTING OUTSIDE A USED
CAR DEALERSHIP IN ROYAL OAK
TOWNSHIP.
>> 44 YEAR OLD GREGORY DAVIS WAS
ARRAIGNED VIA ZOOM THIS MORNING
ON MURDER CHARGES. PROSECUTORS
SAY DAVIS FOLLOWED HIS
EX-GIRLFRIEND TO THE PARKING LOT
OF LEGENDS MOTORS IN ROYAL OAK
TOWNSHIP LAST SATURDAY MORNING.
THEY SAY HE BLOCKED THE 40 YEAR
OLD VICTIM’S CAR AND WHEN SHE
GOT OUT, HE SHOT HER AS SHE RAN
AWAY. THEY SAY DAVIS THEN SHOT
HER AGAIN AT CLOSE RANGE. POLICE
SAY THE SHOOTING HAPPENED IN
FRONT OF THEIR TEN YEAR OLD
DAUGHTER DURING TODAY’S ONLINE
ARRAIGNMENT. DAVIS HAD A
DISAGREEMENT WITH THE COURT
APPOINTED ATTORNEY.
>> MR. DAVIS STANDS MUTE. JUDGE
ASKED TO ENTER A PLEA OF NOT
GUILTY ON HIS BEHALF. JUDGE MR.
DAVIS HAS INDICATED THAT HE
WOULD LIKE TO ENTER A DIFFERENT
PLEA. AND I HAVE EXPLAINED TO
HIM ON THE RECORD THAT HE WILL
DO THAT AFTER COUNSEL WITH HIS
APPOINTED COUNSEL. AND IF, IN
FACT THAT’S THE DIRECTION THAT
HE WANTS TO GO AT THAT TIME,
THEN HE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO THAT
AT HIS PROBABLE CAUSE
CONFERENCE. DAVIS DUE BACK IN
COURT MAY 30TH.
>> TROY POLICE SEARCHING FOR THE
GUNMAN IN A DEADLY SHOOTING THAT
KILLED A 16 YEAR OLD BOY. IT
HAPPENED LAST NIGHT RIGHT AROUND
THIS TIME IN THE AREA OF EIGHT
MILE AND WYOMING. POLICE WERE IN
THE NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HOURS
OVERNIGHT AFTER THE REPORT CAME
IN OF TWO PEOPLE BEING SHOT.
THEY FOUND AN ADULT MAN IN HIS
LATE 20S. HE WAS RUSHED TO THE
HOSPITAL, NOW IN STABLE
CONDITION. AND FAMILY MEMBERS
HAVE NOW IDENTIFIED THE TEENAGER
WHO WAS KILLED AS SIR SPILLER.
POLICE HAVE NOT YET SHARED ANY
LEADS ON A SUSPECT OR A MOTIVE
IN THE CASE.
>> FOUR PEOPLE ARE HURT AFTER A
WRONG-WAY CRASH ON US 23 IN
WASHTENAW COUNTY. POLICE SAY THE
38 YEAR OLD PLYMOUTH MAN WAS
DRIVING NORTH IN THE SOUTHBOUND
LANES ON US 23IN DUNDEE AND HIT
SEVERAL CARS. HE KEPT GOING INTO
WASHTENAW COUNTY, HITTING FOUR
CARS NEAR WILLIS ROAD IN YORK
TOWNSHIP. FOUR PEOPLE, INCLUDING
THE DRIVER, WERE TAKEN TO THE
HOSPITAL. ALL ARE EXPECTED TO
SURVIVE. POLICE DO INDEED THINK
THE DRIVER WAS DRINKING OR ON
DRUGS. INVESTIGATORS ARE LOOKING
FOR THE CAUSE OF A FIRE TO STRIP
MALL IN SOUTHFIELD.
>> FLAMES ERUPTED AT THIS BEAUTY
SUPPLY STORE ON TEN MILE NEAR
SOUTHFIELD ROAD. AT ONE POINT,
AS YOU COULD SEE THERE, ENGULFED
THE BUSINESS. FIREFIGHTERS
FOUGHT TO CONTAIN THE FLAMES TO
THAT ONE STORE BECAUSE THAT HAD
BEEN CLOSED FOR SOME TIME. BUT
OBVIOUSLY, THE WORRY WAS FOR
NEIGHBORING BUSINESSES AS THEY
MAY HAVE SOME SMOKE DAMAGE. BUT
NOT MUCH MORE THAN THAT. AND
LUCKILY, NO ONE WAS HURT. TO TIP
OR NOT TO TIP, THAT’S THE
QUESTION WE ASKED OF AN
ETIQUETTE EXPERT JUST A COUPLE
OF WEEKS AGO.
>> AFTER LEARNING 60% OF WDIV
INSIDER FEEL TIPPING HAS GONE
TOO FAR. IT HAD A LOT OF PEOPLE
TALKING AND YOU’LL LIKELY HAVE
SOME THOUGHTS OF YOUR OWN ABOUT
THIS NEXT STORY. A DETROIT WOMAN
SAYS THE OWNER OF AN ICE CREAM
SHOP TRACKED HER DOWN ON SOCIAL
MEDIA FOR NOT LEAVING A TIP.
PAMELA OSBORNE JOINS US LIVE TO
EXPLAIN FROM THE MIDTOWN. AN ICE
CREAM SHOP THAT’S BEEN THE
CENTER OF CONTROVERSY BEFORE.
PAMELA KIMBERLY, LAST YEAR, COLD
TRUTH WAS SAYING THAT IT WOULD
NO LONGER SERVE LAW ENFORCEMENT
OFFICERS WHO SHOWED UP TO ITS
STORE AND BODY ARMOR. AS YOU CAN
IMAGINE, ANN, AS YOU REMEMBER,
IT CAUSED QUITE THE STIR. WELL,
TONIGHT WE’RE SPEAKING WITH A
CUSTOMER WHO SAYS SHE WAS SHAMED
ON SOCIAL MEDIA IN HER INBOX BY
THE OWNER OF THIS ICE CREAM SHOP
FOR NOT LEAVING A TIP.
>> I FELT ATTACKED AND TO SEARCH
ME OUT TO LEAVE A MESSAGE LIKE
THAT WAS JUST UNHEARD OF. SHANTE
FAGANS HAD HOPED TO END HER
SUNDAY ON A SWEET NOTE.
>> I WENT TO FLOWER DAY.
>> EASTER MARKET HAD A GREAT
TIME AFTER THAT.
>> SHE AND A FRIEND STOPPED BY
COLD TRUTH, HER FAVORITE VEGAN
ICE CREAM SHOP SHAWN LEY. SHE
SAYS THEIR ORDER CAME TO ABOUT
$12. SHE PAID BY CARD USUALLY
LEAVE A TIP.
>> YES.
>> THIS TIME, SHE SAYS, SHE
DIDN’T TIP BECAUSE SHE DIDN’T
HAVE THE EXTRA MONEY TO GIVE.
NOT LONG AFTER I HAD GOTTEN A
MESSAGE FROM THE OWNER, WHICH
WAS KIND OF STRANGE, THE DM SENT
DIRECT FROM COLD TRUTH’S
INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT READ IN PART
JUST WRITING A NOTE TO CONVEY
THAT WE OPERATE IN A TIPPED
BUSINESS MODEL, ADDING THE COST
OF INGREDIENTS HAVE DOUBLED, BUT
THEY HAVE CHOSEN NOT TO PASS
THOSE COSTS DOWN TO CUSTOMERS.
THE NOTE SIGNED. TIM GOES ON TO
SAY, IF WE HAVEN’T RISEN TO A
LEVEL THAT YOU FEEL IS WORTHY OF
A GRATUITY, WE ABSOLUTELY
UNDERSTAND.
>> AND SO THOSE ARE
DISCRETIONARY. THE JARS, THE
SCREENS WE TALKED TO ETIQUETTE
EXPERT DANIELLE KOVACH, NOVI IN
THE GENERAL TOPIC OF TIPPING,
SHE SAID IT’S UP TO THE CUSTOMER
FOR TO SAY WHEN IN DOUBT YOU
SHOULD TIP IF YOU CAN IF YOUR
BUDGET SUPPORTS IT, IF THE
MOMENT MOVES YOU. AND THAT’S
WHAT SHANTE WANTS.
>> THE SHOP’S OWNER, TIMOTHY
MAHONEY, TO UNDERSTAND I DIDN’T
HAVE IT THAT DAY.
>> DID YOU THINK ABOUT THAT? YOU
KNOW, I COULD BE ON A BUDGET. I
JUST WANTED TO TREAT ME AND MY
FRIEND TO ICE CREAM, AND I JUST
HAD MONEY JUST FOR THAT. I
SHANTE SAYS SHE CALLED AND SPOKE
WITH THE STORE’S OWNER AFTER
RECEIVING THAT MESSAGE.
>> SHE WAS HOPING FOR AN
APOLOGY, BUT SHE DIDN’T GET ONE
AND HASN’T GOTTEN ONE SINCE. SHE
SAID THAT HE DOUBLED DOWN ON HIS
MESSAGE, WHICH IS WHAT WE SAW IN
SOME OF THOSE INSTAGRAM POSTS.
ON HER ORIGINAL MESSAGE ABOUT
THIS BACK AND FORTH DISPUTE. I
SHOULD MENTION WE DID TRY TO GET
TIM TO SPEAK WITH US AND SHARE
HIS SIDE OF THE STORY OF ALL OF
THIS. BUT HE DECLINED TO
COMMENT. REPORTING LIVE IN
MIDTOWN, I’M PAMELA OSBORNE,
LOCAL 4.
>> A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHTS
ABOUT THIS STORY. PAMELA WE
APPRECIATE YOUR REPORTING
TONIGHT. GOODNESS
>> MICHIGAN SUPREME COURT
JUSTICE RICHARD BERNSTEIN SAYS
HE WILL BE REVIEWING HIS DUTIES
IN PERSON NOW AFTER TAKING TIME
TO BE TREATED FOR SITUATIONAL
DEPRESSION. BERNSTEIN ANNOUNCED
HE WAS SEEKING TREATMENT LAST
MONTH, SAYING HE WOULD WORK
REMOTELY, THOUGH HE DID HAVE TO
MISS SOME ORAL ARGUMENTS. IN A
STATEMENT TODAY, BERNSTEIN SAYS
, QUOTE, IT IS MY SINCERE HOPE
THAT BY TALKING ABOUT THESE
ISSUES IN THE OPEN, I’M FREE
FROM ANY NEEDLESS STIGMA. WE CAN
MOVE CLOSER TO A DAY WHEN ANYONE
STRUGGLING CAN AVAIL THEMSELVES
OF THE SAME QUALITY CARE I WAS
BLESSED TO RECEIVE, END OF
QUOTE. WELL, AS YOU PROBABLY
JUST SAW, CAIN’S GRACE WEST GAVE
IT EVERYTHING SHE HAD TO BE THE
VOICE.
>> JUST MOMENTS AGO, THE WINNER
DECIDED IN THE CLOSEST MARGIN OF
VICTORY. KEANNA MILES. TEAM NAIL
FOR THE WIN.
>> HOW ABOUT A BIG HAND FOR
SHEENA WEST PERFORMED HIT AFTER
HIT WEEK AFTER WEEK, WOWING THE
JUDGES EACH TIME SHE’S HAD A LOT
OF SUPPORT FROM METRO DETROIT.
>> BUT TONIGHT SHE FINISHES
RUNNER UP TO GINA MILES. IT’S
STILL SO PROUD OF HER.
>> WE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH
THIS.
>> NO, ESPECIALLY IT WAS BLAKE
LAST, LAST, LAST SHOW, LAST GO
ROUND.
>> YOU WOULD HAVE SHE WAS SHE
WAS JUST SO GREAT THIS SEASON.
