Jeanine Pirro’s Career as an Attorney
Pirro was appointed Assistant District Attorney of Westchester County in New York State by District Attorney Carl Vergari in 1975, where she began her career writing appeals and handling minor cases.
Pirro boasted during an abortive campaign for Lieutenant Governor of New York in 1986 that he had never lost a case in “about 50 trials.”
This figure was challenged by colleagues in 2005, who claimed that the true number of trials personally handled by Pirro “wasn’t more than ten.”
Pirro’s then-spokesman, Anne Marie Corbalis, only claimed that as an Assistant District Attorney, Pirro had a “100% felony conviction rate.”
Pirro was elected Westchester County District Attorney in November 1993, making her the county’s first female to hold that position. In 1997 and 2001, she was re-elected. Pirro announced on May 23, 2005, that she would not run for re-election to a fourth term as Westchester County District Attorney.
During her tenure as district attorney, she repeatedly refused to reopen the case of Jeffrey Deskovic’s murder of Angela Correa.
Deskovic was wrongfully convicted of murdering the then-15-year-old Correa in 1990, and he spent 16 years in prison before being exonerated by DNA evidence; the true killer eventually confessed to the crime. Deskovic later won a $41.6 million wrongful conviction lawsuit against Daniel Stephens and Westchester County.
