Pirro addresses female perpetrator: “I’ve heard enough! I’ve heard too
many cases of either men being stabbed or killed by women. Men don’t
want to talk about it, or they just think that it is something that will
go away. It will not go away.”
To male victim: “The next beating is going to be worse than the last beating. Men are less likely to report the violence due to embarrassment or the assumption that others won’t believe you, but I believe you! I believe you.”
To female perpetrator: “I have never seen a police report more blatant in terms of the pride you take for assaulting someone.

What
planet are you from?! You keep doing this and you’re going to end up in
State prison – and maybe that’s exactly where you belong. You don’t take
out your anger and physically abuse another human being – man or
woman…. you should get your tail out of here and hide your face.”

By Rich Schapiro: For 16 years, he languished in an upstate prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Deskovic, who was released from prison in 2006, is demanding that network executives pull Pirro's show, which premiered this week on CW11.
He is leading a protest Thursday outside the network's Manhattan parent company.
"That judgeship television show is bringing her national
attention like she was this really good crimefighter when she was the
district attorney," Deskovic said.
"In fact, the reality is far different. I think it's important for the world to know what her real record is."
Deskovic was a 17-year-old high school sophomore when he was convicted in 1991 of the brutal murder of his classmate, Angela Correa.
Two years later, Pirro was elected Westchester DA. She repeatedly refused to reopen Deskovic's case despite several appeals and DNA test results proving he did not rape Correa.
Pirro's successor, Janet DiFiore, agreed in 2006 to run the test results in a New York DNA database of convicted felons. It matched convicted murderer Steven Cunningham, who later confessed to killing Correa.
"Nobody walks away from a wrongful conviction without being affected by it," Deskovic said. "It was very traumatic."
Deskovic, now a columnist for the Westchester Guardian newspaper, noted that Pirro's office has also come under fire for its conduct in other notable cases, including that of accused murderer Anthony DiSimone.
DiSimone was convicted in 2000, but the judgement was overturned last year on the grounds that Pirro didn't hand over evidence that may have proved his innocence.

For The Sins Of Her Past Life?
By Rich Schapiro: For 16 years, he languished in an upstate prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Now, Jeffrey Deskovic, 34, is taking on Jeanine Pirro, the Westchester
County district attorney-turned-TV-judge who refused to revisit
evidence that later exonerated him in the rape and murder of a
15-year-old girl.
"She has engaged in prosecutorial misconduct
regularly in just an all-out effort to win, even at the cost of
innocence and justice," Deskovic told the Daily News Wednesday. Deskovic, who was released from prison in 2006, is demanding that network executives pull Pirro's show, which premiered this week on CW11.
He is leading a protest Thursday outside the network's Manhattan parent company.
