Wrongfully Yours
A place where I host conversations with people who have been impacted by wrongful convictions - sometimes this is an exoneree, a family member of an exoneree, a justice official, a filmmaker, a student...I'm really open to speaking with anyone because I think we all have such interesting and unique perspectives to bring around this issue in an effort to challenge assumptions, surface uncomfortable truths, and foster critical thinking about how justice is pursued and portrayed.
Wrongfully Yours
Episode 15 - Jeffery Deskovic & Samantha Mahase
In a powerful two-part release, Wrongfully Yours continues the story of Jeffrey Deskovic, who was wrongfully convicted at just 17 and spent 16 years behind bars.
In Part 1, Jeff shares the pivotal moments that led to his exoneration: a critical DNA match, the real perpetrator’s confession, and the emotional aftermath of re-entering a world that had moved on without him. Now an attorney and fierce advocate, Jeff devotes his life to justice reform.
In Part 2, we hear from Jeff’s fiancée, Samantha, who tells us about their story of love, trust, and healing after wrongful conviction. From a Valentine’s Day singles event to building a life rooted in shared purpose, this conversation explores what it means to find connection and compassion after trauma.
These are stories of resilience, redemption, and the love that justice couldn’t take away.
