Wrongful Convictions & Cold Cases: An Interview with Jeffrey Deskovic who was wrongfully convicted at age 17 and spent over 16 years in prison before being exonerated by DNA evidence.
10/12/23 • 38 min
In this episode of "Wrongful Convictions & Cold Cases," Andy interviews Jeffrey Deskovic, who at age 16 was arrested for the rape and murder of 15-year-old Angela Correa. Jeff falsely confessed to the crime and was convicted, despite recanting his confession before his criminal trial. He spent over 16 years in prison before being exonerated by DNA evidence that linked to the real killer, who subsequently confessed to the crime. Post-exoneration, Jeff obtained his law degree and now runs the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice that seeks to help wrongfully convicted inmates prove their innocence. It's truly a remarkable story.
