KENOSHA - Mark Jensen will get a new trial, but he won t be getting out of prison on bail to wait for it.
A judge on Friday denied a motion to reduce the existing $1.2 million bail for Jensen, who s been serving a life sentence since 2008 for a crime he s always insisted he didn t commit the fatal poisoning and suffocation of his wife in 1998.
In March, the Wisconsin Supreme Court ruled Jensen deserved a new trial that would not allow prosecutors to introduce a letter Julie Jensen made or wrote before her death suggesting that if she died, her husband was responsible. His conviction, for the second time, has been vacated.
