Kenneth Colvin Jr. | 192744
Hello, my name is Kenneth Colvin Jr. (192744) and I was FRAMED of a crime that I did not commit.
I am currently incarcerated at the Macomb Correctional Facility, address 34625 - 26 Mile Rd; Lenox Township, MI 48048, and I am looking for assistance from both a forensic expert and private investigator involving a exculpatory evidence that was withheld by the state that would have proven my innocence and ultimately shown that the State was involved in prosecutorial misconduct.
The withheld evidence is as follows:
Michigan State Police (MSP) ballistic report of my case (Neland Street shooting: lab. No. 132188- 94) and another case (Fair Street Shooting Lab number 32190 – 94 - - which was discovered by the Michigan State Police Technicians that the firearm used in my case was also used in the Fair Street shooting (just 18 days before my case occurred on June 24th 1994), but the test results from the Fair Street shooting was omitted from my reports despite the fact that the test results in the Neland case was explicitly cited in the Fair Street reports. (See ballistic reports); and
Investigative notes taken of Carl Powell and Trent Chambliss by Detective James Grable of the Grand Rapids Police Department (GRPD) and their involvement in the Fair Street shooting, including admitting to having the firearm (murder weapon) that was involved in the Neland case, the same date that the Neland case occurred June 24th 1994. (See investigative notes).
I need the forensic expert to prove that the Michigan State Police was mandated to cross reference the test results of the Fair Street case to my case reports; and the private investigator to question the Powell/Chambliss Group regarding the firearm, and the fact, that we (my brother and I) did not have any access to that firearm that caused the deaths of the 2 individuals during a drug house robbery on Neland Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan on June 24th 1994.
By the State withholding this extremely crucial evidence (which in Christopher Becker’s [Kent County Chief Prosecutor] January 12 ,2024 letter, he alleged that his office was not made aware of the withheld material evidence as well), and later, both Detectives Grable and Gary Crum committed perjury at my jury trial, falsely testifying that they were unable to trace the firearm “all the way back”, which, in fact, they had: to the Powell/Chambliss Group, it denied us the opportunity to present the material exculpatory/impeachment evidence to the jury to prove that the State was involved in misconduct, which led to our convictions and natural life sentences. And most important, clearing up of the crime. (See letters from Prosecutor Becker and myself, and trial transcript testimony from Detective Grable and Crum).
