A notorious Port Huron murder case is back in court this week as St. Clair County reviews old life sentences for crimes committed by juveniles. Christopher Hansen, now 69, was 17 when he shot and killed Clara Gilmore during a 1973 break-in. He spent decades in prison, briefly gained parole, then reoffended. Because Michigan’s high court struck down mandatory life terms for juveniles, Judge Cynthia Lane will resentence Hansen on Friday. Several other long-time inmates from the county are also awaiting new hearings under the same ruling.
