Thousands of people in the United States may be wrongfully convicted of serious crimes each year......and for every day an innocent individual spends behind bars for crimes they did not commit, the real criminal is aloud to roam free in our communities....
The “I've Been Falsely Accused” series started in May of 2012 on the Conversations With Cogee show (KLAV 1230AM - The Talk of Las Vegas) in hopes of raising awareness on wrongful convictions, to help exonerees with an open platform to speak, and to prevent more injustice from happening in the future. Following the show's launch, Jeffrey Deskovic, who served 16 years for a crime he did not commit, joined on as a regular monthly news correspondent and is now co-hosting with Cogee. The show has featured many exonerees and supporters of the movement: Kirk Bloodsworth, Gloria Killian, Ronald Cotton, Jennifer Thompson(Rape Victim/Cotton's Accuser),John Thompson, Obie Anthony, Maurice Caldwell, Paige Kaneb (Northern California Innocence Project Attorney), Walter Smith, Nick Yarris, Kenzell Evans, William Lopez, the late Delbert Tibbs, Ron Keine, Richard Rosen (Retired professor of law/co-founder UNC Innocence Project)...and the list continues to grow.
