Today, on Crime & Entertainment, we have Jia Rizvi. Jia is a documentary filmmaker who got her start on wrongful conviction cases by selling #FreeAdnan T-shirts. She was then introduced to a man named Jeffrey Deskovic. Jeffrey spent over 16 years in prison, wrongfully convicted, and thankfully he was eventually exonerated due to DNA evidence. Once Jia dug into this wrongful conviction case, she realized there was an important message the world needed to hear in regard to so many innocent people sitting in prisons. What started as a short film has now bloomed into a full-blown documentary, and she discusses this journey on the show today. Do not miss this heart wrenching episode on Crime & Entertainment.
