Have you ever been angry with others who lie about you or talk crap on the internet about something that you KNOW is not true?

How about being wrongfully convicted of rape and murder at the age of 16?

Jeffrey Deskovic lived this real-life bad dream. Crime scene DNA didn't match the accused 16 year old, yet he was still sent to serve '15 to life'. There are nearly 10 thousand people each year who are wrongfully convicted.

This coerced false confession, due to deprivation and threats, caused an innocent teenager to be accused of murder.
