Jesse, a young professional working in Detroit, was living his best life. That “best life” was interrupted and nearly cut short by a claim from a former girlfriend that he sexually assaulted her 3 years prior while they attended college. He faced the very real prospect of going to prison for 15 years, and being put on a public sex offender registry for 25 years. He demanded a jury trial to prove he did nothing wrong, but his case was delayed because of the Covid pandemic. After rejecting plea offers from the prosecutor (for a crime he simply didn’t commit), he went to jury trial. The jury deliberated for all of 13 minutes, finding him Not Guilty. As a matter of fact, several of the jurors actually apologized to him for what he had to endure.
