Jury selection for Kenosha County homicide retrial

January 10, 2023 By WRN Contributor

Jury selection is underway in the second trial of a 62-year-old man accused of killing his wife with antifreeze nearly a quarter-century ago. Mark Jensen was convicted in 2008 of killing his wife at their Pleasant Prairie home in 1998.

A letter written by Jensen’s wife, Julie Jensen, before her death was used as evidence in the case. That letter, which was given by Julie Jensen to a neighbor, said “if anything happens to me” that her husband “would be my first suspect.”

The Wisconsin Supreme Court upheld a March 2021 appellate court ruling to order a new trial for Jensen that doesn’t use Julie Jensen’s letter as evidence. Mark Jensen has maintained his innocence, arguing that his wife died by suicide while he was framed for the crime.
