The Jeffrey Deskovic Interview: the Failure of our Justice System without Apology...

  • Summary

  • In our 14th episode, we had the privilege to sit down with a Mr. Jeffrey Deskovic of the Deskovic Foundation- a non-profit organization dedicated to the exoneration of the wrongfully convicted, their recovery, and reform of the system that allows these miscarriages of justice to take place.  Mr. Deskovic was sentenced to life in prison at the age of 17 for the rape and murder of a 15 year old girl he did not commit. The authorities who arrested him knew his DNA did not match that of the actual perpetrator – who, three years later, went on to murder another young woman and mother of two – but they still colluded to convict Deskovic and keep him in prison for 16 years of his life.  After his exoneration and release, Deskovic successfully sued the authorities responsible and used a substantial portion of the compensation he was awarded to start The Deskovic Foundation.  Deskovic has dedicated himself to assisting the wrongfully convicted, and recently graduated from the Elizabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University with a law degree. To this day, the Foundation has fully exonerated three people, freed eight others, and currently has eleven active cases in addition to proving peripheral assistance in other cases.  If you would, please support his cause & follow his journey at the links below:  -Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/Deskovic   -Conviction- Documentary: https://www.amazon.com/Conviction-Jeffrey-Deskovic/dp/B08F9CN2XG  -Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_deskovic_foundation/   -Website: https://www.deskovicfoundation.org/  -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thejeffreydeskovicfoundation/   -After the Gate #afterthegate --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afterthegate/support
