Listener discretion is advised. Welcome to True Crime Brewery. I'm Jill. In 2006, Jeffrey Descovic's indictment, charging him with the rape and murder of a high school classmate, was dismissed on the grounds of actual innocence.

Post-conviction DNA testing proved his innocence.

It also identified the real killer.

When a classmate of 16-year-old Jeffrey was found raped and murdered in a local park, he was understandably

upset. The police, though, said that his behavior seemed odd. They were suspicious of

him because he was late for school the day after the murder and he seemed overly distraught

about the death of a girl who wasn't even really a friend of his.

Jeffrey was questioned at length and eventually manipulated into giving a false confession.

Since his release from prison, Jeffrey has earned his law degree and established the Jeffrey Descovic Foundation for Justice, devoting his life to fighting wrongful

convictions and helping those exonerated to reclaim their lives.

Join us at the quiet end for the story of Jeffrey Descovic.

Dick was able to be in touch with Mr Descovic for an interview recently and we hope you'll

find what he had to say as fascinating as we did.

So we're going to do a beer review, of course.

When I had done the interview with Mr. Descovic, I asked him if he had a favorite beer.

He said, not really do you review ciders.

And I said, no, no. I said, not exactly.

So I told him I'd get him a nice beer. I did I think this is Bonbon 2X T N T double I P A. That's quite a mouthful.

It is really. It's from Single Kite Beer Smiths in Queens, New York.
