A conversation with exoneree Jeffrey Deskovic: Tik Tok Live Feed

Jeffrey Deskovic is an American attorney, advocate, and exoneree
who was wrongfully convicted of rape and murder at the age of 17.
He spent 16 years in prison before DNA evidence led to his
exoneration. Since then, he has dedicated his life to criminal
justice reform and the exoneration of the wrongfully
convicted.

In 2006, with support from the Innocence Project, post-conviction
DNA testing identified Steven Cunningham as the actual perpetrator.
Cunningham, who was already serving a life sentence for a similar
crime, confessed to Correa's murder. Deskovic was released after
serving 16 years for a crime he did not commit. He later sued the
authorities responsible for his wrongful conviction and was awarded
$41.6 million, of which $10 million was paid due to a pretrial
settlement. Following his release, Deskovic pursued higher
education, earning a bachelor's degree in behavioral science from
Mercy College, a master's degree in criminal justice from John Jay
College of Criminal Justice, and a law degree from Pace University
School of Law.
