Summary

This man spent 16 years in prison for rape and murder... but he did NOT commit the crime! Listen to the absolutely RIVETING story of Jeff Deskovic: a wrongfully convicted teenager turned Attorney and Activist. After Jeff's 15-year-old classmate was found dead, police investigators took note of the awkward boy and instantly made him a suspect. Jeff was interrogated for 6 weeks and coersed into a false confession, which ended up being the centerpiece of a trial where DNA evidence was ignored, alibi witnesses were not called, and a judge said "you might be innocent" as he sent Jeff away to prison. Your mouth will be on the FLOOR (like Robin's!!!) hearing how this wild conviction unfolded. You will be on the edge of your seat waiting for Part 2!
