As was a kid, at age 16, taken in for questioning in the rape and murder of a high school classmate, Angela Correa, 15, in Peekskill, New York, in 1989.
Deskovic was deeply shaken by the murder and so was the entire community. Sure, he told the police, he’d be happy to help. The police read him his rights, which he agreed to waive. He had nothing to hide.
After a seven-hour interrogation, during which he took a polygraph test, Deskovic was tired, worn out and scared. He decided to tell police what he thought they wanted to hear, thinking he’d be able to go home.
Based on his confession, Deskovic was convicted and sentenced to 15 years to life. He spent 16 years in prison before DNA linked another man, already incarcerated, to the crime.
Today Jeffrey is a strong advocate for injustice, also soon to be Lawyer focused in defending huamn rights.
