Jeffrey Deskovic
Founder, The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice
Jeffrey Deskovic, Esq., M.A., is an internationally recognized wrongful conviction expert and the founder of The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, which has freed 15 wrongfully convicted people and helped pass nine laws, including: video-taping interrogations; identification reform; the Commission On Prosecutor Conduct, and Discovery Reform. Under Jeff’s supervision, The Foundation is trying to free 13 innocent people while pursuing policy initiatives in NY, PA, and CA. The motivation for his advocacy work is that he was wrongfully imprisoned for sixteen years- from age 17 to 32- despite a negative DNA Test, based upon a coerced, false confession, prosecutorial misconduct, fraud by the medical examiner, and an inept public defender before being exonerated via the DNA Database. A documentary short about his life post-exoneration and advocacy work, “Conviction”, is available on Amazon Prime.
