After spending 16 years behind bars for crimes he didn’t commit, Jeffrey Deskovic seeks justice through a civil lawsuit. Judge Judy Sheindlin and her skilled legal team reenact the trial to delve into the boundaries of police and prosecutor responsibility in wrongful conviction scenarios. The key question is whether the methods employed by law enforcement to secure Deskovic's conviction render them accountable for financial compensation or even criminal charges.
