There are many disturbing aspects to this case.nbsp; Deskovic was cohursed into a false confession after six (6) hours of interrogation.nbsp; One of the most disturbing aspects of Deskovic's case is the prosecuting attorney knew Deskovic's DNA did not match the semen sample found on the victim; nevertheless, the prosecuting attorney pursued the case. Deskovic was offered a plea bargain where he would have spent less time in prison, but being innocent and believing justice would prevail, he did not take the plea bargain. Out of the sixteen (16) years Deskovic spent in prison, Judge Sonia Sotomayor added six (6) of those sixteen (16) years.nbsp; She did this by refusing to allow Deskovic's two (2) appears to go forward. The actual murderer killed again, putting the DNA of the actual perpetrator on file.nbsp; Thanks to the DNA of the actual murderer turning up on file and the Innocence Project who agreed to take Deskovic's case, he was finally freed -- that is after spending the prime of his youth behind prison bars. Jeffrey Deskovic would like to speak at Judge Sonia Sotomayors Supreme Court confirmation hearing, but he is being ignored by both the Democrats and Republicans.nbsp; He has contacted Orrin Hatch's office who refers him to Jeff Sessions, who ignores his request. Deskovic needs our help, if he's going to have the opportunity to speak at the confirmation hearing.nbsp; Here are some suggestions on how you can help.nbsp; You can share this radio interview.nbsp; You can post the below video on your web page, blog, Twitter, Facebook page, MySpace, etc.nbsp; You can call in on talk radio shows, write to your local news paper, and post information about Jeffrey's case.nbsp; You can also add your elected officials on Facebook and then post information on Deskovic's case on their Facebook page.
