The nomination by President Obama of 2nd Circuit Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the U.S. Supreme Court is more than alarming to an innocent man who was convicted of murder and spent 16 years in prison before being cleared and released.
Jeff Deskovic, whose pursuit of freedom has been chronicled by the New York Times and others, told WND that the last six of those years are directly attributable to decisions endorsed by Sotomayor.
"I'm very alarmed," he said. "The rest of my life, as a result of my ordeal, is dedicated to preventing this from happening to other people."
Sotomayor in her 2nd Circuit position repeatedly put "procedure over innocence" and rejected appeals that could have provided Deskovic with his freedom much earlier than it actually happened, he told WND.
He blames the prosecutors and others in his original case for getting his conviction and sentence, but he blames Sotomayor – and the other judge on the 2nd Circuit panel – for the last six years he remained in prison.
The other judge, he told WND, is equally culpable, but is not now being nominated for the highest court in the land.
The background of the case is all over the public record. He was arrested and accused of assaulting and killing 15-year-old Angela Correa in 1989 and went on trial in 1990 when he was 17.

Let me guess-Jeff was not a person of color!
Empathy.
Sotomayor in her 2nd Circuit position repeatedly put “procedure over innocence”.You don’t get the job.
That was my first thought. He doesn’t get empathy.
Sorry, don’t know how to post pics. Computer illiterate.
Do you know how to use google? If so google “image tag”.
I sure would hate to think of her entire record.
It would help if the RNC read this.
The link goes to a page with numerous stories. Which one is this?
Sotomoyer just wants to pour some cream in the coffee of prison.
Someone says a damn white boy rapes an hispanic girl and a wise Latina is going to put him away forever, no matter what.
I also like this line from the article: “The previous district attorney had refused prior requests to run further DNA tests.”
Can you imagine all the work the DA would have to do? And then, if they found a match, he would have to do even MORE work. Just let the guy rot in jail.
Sotomayor is one of the worst racists in history.
Look at the picture of this guy at his web page.

Looks as if he became either he became Amish in prison or Muslim. Not saying he did, but that’s some beard. Or maybe it’s some other prison group he belonged to.
Perhaps he is Jewish.
That, too.
No Serbian Jews?
