Posted by New Haven Independent on Friday, February 1, 2019
Jeffrey Deskovic, M.A., is an internationally recognized wrongful conviction expert and Founder of The Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, which has freed 7 wrongfully convicted people and helped pass legislation aimed at preventing wrongful conviction. Jeff is an advisory board member of the coalition group It Can Happen To You, which spearheaded a 6 year fight resulting in the passage of the countries first Commission On Prosecutor Conduct. Jeff’s advocacy work has been recognized through his receiving the New Yorker of the Week award; Humanitarian of the Year; and the 2018 Distinguished Alumn from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Jeff is projected to graduate from the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University in May, in pursuit of his dream of exonerating others as an attorney. Jeff dedicated his life to fighting wrongful convictions because he spent 16 years in prison for murder and rape- from ages 17-32- prior to being exonerated by DNA Testing that identified the actual perpetrator.
