Deyanna Davis is a Buffalo mother whose life changed on June 1, 2020, when she accidentally drove through a protest, was shot at by police, and was later charged with injuring an officer. Facing a criminal justice system in which roughly 95% of felony convictions are resolved through guilty pleas rather than trial, Deyanna ultimately accepted a plea deal and was incarcerated while pregnant. She gave birth to her youngest daughter, Reighn, while serving her sentence.
