The foundation’s most promising current case is that of Andrew Krivac, who has been in prison for 18 years for murder. The same polygraphist who coerced a false confession out of Mr. Deskovic did so in this case. Disturbingly, his co-defendant, Anthony DiPippo was exonerated while Krivac remains in prison on the same set of facts. The only difference is that he falsely confessed whereas DiPippo’s attorney interrupted the polygraphist at a crucial moment.
Another promising case is that of Hector Lopez, who has served 25 years for murder based on a confession he claims he never made. He was arrested by disgraced former Brooklyn Detective Louis Scarcella, who has had a dozen wrongful conviction cases reversed.
The Deskovic Foundation is also hopeful for Carolyn Warmus, who has served 27 years for a murder that has inspired 2 films, 6 television shows, and 1 book. Her first trial resulted in a hung jury. There is DNA evidence that has yet to be tested.
The Deskovic Foundation has file cabinets filled with cases being considered. It will not be long before Mr. Deskovic is able to exonerate clients as a lawyer, and to help them get just compensation. However, these cases are very expensive, and after funding the foundation with his own money for 3 ½ years, that just wasn’t enough. As a result, The Deskovic Foundation moved from having paid employees to a volunteer force.
The organization would like to again have paid staff and is working towards that, and you can be a part of it by contributing $3 a month on a recurring basis through Patreon. The money will be used to hire the personnel needed to free the unjustly convicted on a more robust level.
