Simon Cofie
Speaker Bio

Simon Cofie, an Atlanta resident, found himself falsely accused of drug trafficking after a police-administered $2.00 field drug test incorrectly identified his wife's folic acid tablets as ecstasy. This resulted in their wrongful incarceration—costing them weeks in jail, affecting their jobs, and tarnishing their reputations. Simon, now the owner of a moving company, advocates to raise awareness about the unreliable nature of field drug tests, shedding light on the numerous innocent individuals affected by similar wrongful arrests, coerced pleas, and wrongful convictions.
