A Michigan man convicted of murder more than 50 years ago in St. Clair County is asking for a new sentence. Willie Bankston, now 73, has been serving life for the 1973 shooting death of 20-year-old Tyrone Manns near Kimball Township. His attorney argues a new Michigan Supreme Court ruling gives 19- and 20-year-olds a chance at parole, saying it should apply to Bankston, who was 20 at the time. A resentencing hearing is set for April 2nd before Judge Cynthia Lane in Port Huron.
