In September, the state’s highest criminal court overturned a drug charge Jeffrey was convicted of in 2018. Jeffrey had already served six years of his 25-year sentence. “Mr. Jeffrey was arrested and convicted based solely on the testimony of former officer Goines. We determined that officer Goines falsified information in a search warrant. And so, without that false information in the search warrant, they never would have had access to the home where Mr. Jeffrey was arrested,” said prosecutor Josh Reiss.
Pat McCann, Jeffrey’s attorney, said he’s eligible for compensation from the state and having his record cleared.
