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.
