16 years in prison for crimes he did not commit: Jeffrey Deskovic

Second Chance

After being convicted of the rape and murder of a high school classmate at just 17 years old, Jeffrey Deskovic spent 16 long years in prison. However, DNA testing proved his innocence and led to the conviction of the real culprit, who was already incarcerated for another murder.

While this revelation may bring some peace to the victim, Angela Correa, and her loved ones, Deskovic's nightmare was far from over. In this interview, he shares his experience and how it motivated him to establish the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation. This foundation is dedicated to advocating for wrongly convicted prisoners and reforming the American criminal justice system.

Deskovic's experience is not unique, and there are countless others who have been wrongfully convicted and continue to suffer as a result. His foundation works to provide support and resources to these individuals and their families, while also working to reform the criminal justice system.

Through his advocacy work, Deskovic is helping to raise awareness about the flaws and biases that exist within the system, and is pushing for meaningful change that will prevent others from experiencing the same injustice he did.
