Aspiring Kiwi rapper Clinton Thinn was convicted of murdering his cellmate by strangling him in a San Diego prison. "There are a lot of things I cannot say because I am still fighting inside to get out. He wound up in jail after committing an armed bank robbery in San Diego shortly after arriving in the US. In his letter, Thinn told the Herald on Sunday his incarceration had been hard on his family, including Kaye, his father and step-mother Julia Kaye. Letters from Thinn's family released by his lawyer after his trial said his father and stepmother feared they would be dead by the time Thinn was eventually released.
