At the age of 17, Deskovic was convicted for the brutal murder of a young woman in Peekskill, NY and sent away to prison for the rest of his life. Hear the inspiring story of how Deskovic never gave up hope: he survived a terrifying ordeal in prison, advocated for his innocence (with the help of the Innocence Project) and eventually, after 16 years behind bars, was exonerated and released. After his release, Deskovic sued the state of New York and won a financial settlement, using the money to establish the Deskovic Foundation, an organization dedicated to helping others who have been wrongfully convicted.
