Jon-Adrian Velazquez (born November 11, 1975), also known as "JJ" Velazquez, is an American legal reform activist, actor, film producer, and public speaker who was wrongfully convicted of a 1998 murder of a retired police officer. He was serving a 25 years to life sentence at maximum security Sing-Sing prison in New York. His case garnered considerable attention from the media ten years after his conviction, due to a long-term investigation by Dateline NBC producer Dan Slepian and celebrity support from actor Martin Sheen, actress Alfre Woodard, music executive Jason Flom, and entertainment company Roc Nation.
