About Jeffrey...

Jeffrey Deskovic was wrongfully convicted of the murder and rape of a classmate at the age of 17 and spent half his life in prison for a crime he did not commit. He was exonerated 16 years later based on DNA evidence. After experiencing first hand how broken our criminal justice system is, he emerged determined to prevent what happened to him from happening to others and helping those who have already been wrongfully convicted. To support his efforts, he founded The Deskovic Foundation to exonerate the wrongfully convicted, participates in speaking engagements and media interviews, meets with elected officials, and shares knowledge with law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys. Jeffrey is an advocate for justice, compassion, and the power of personal perseverance.
