Description
Join us in unraveling the mysteries of DNA and its impact on wrongful convictions
Jeffrey Deskovic was just 17 when he was wrongly convicted of murder and spent 16 years in prison before DNA evidence exonerated him. Now, he dedicates his life to fighting injustice through the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation, supporting the wrongly convicted and advocating for social justice reform.
Jeff is joined by Innocence Project founding board member and host of the acclaimed Wrongful Conviction podcast Jason Flom for a powerful conversation on truth, justice, and reform.
