Excellent reporting

It’s obvious so much work and investigation went into this story. The prosecutorial misconduct is very apparent at every turn. If everyone in criminal justice just did their jobs instead of worrying about their egos or making it a game of not wanting to be proven wrong, there would be way less innocent people serving time. Let’s hope we as a community do better and when the facts don’t line up, release the person doing time so they can go back to some semblance of normal life.

Probably the best series I’ve heard.

Such a heartbreaking series of events told in such a way that I find it impossible to not at least try to sympathize with essentially every person involved. Very impressed and thankful for the extensive amount of effort and humility put into this. Well done.

Unbelievable!

Warning: if you listen to this podcast, it doesn’t finish wrapped up in a pretty bow with a nice happy ending. You’ll be left with equal parts anger and heartbreak. How is it even possible this man can still be in prison? Every moment Leo Schofield spends behind bars is a crime, and an absolute embarrassment to our so-called “justice” system. Heading over to sign the Change.Org petition.

Gripping investigative journalism

Riveting pod. Storytelling at its finest & it’s excellent investigative journalism as well. The scourge of continual injustice is a disgrace that defies everything we are (supposed to) stand for when we take the oath in court. I hope Leo gets a ginormous settlement out of one of the most clearly backwards states these days on so many levels. And who knows who else these lying cheating egomaniacs have cheated out of their lives.

Emotions.

I felt so many emotions listening to this Podcast. I have never felt this way about a Podcast and I am a avid listener. I felt sorry for Jeremy and mad at him at the same time. My heart just breaks for Leo. I have signed the change.org document. Please keep fighting for him. What you guys are doing is so amazing. You are making a difference. ♥️

Heartbreaking

Meticulously researched and produced, a heartbreaking story about a man falsely imprisoned for decades because of terrible police work and a broken justice system. A must listen…and sign the change.org petition to try and get his case reviewed!!

Captivating

Listened to this in less than 24 hours bc I needed to know what happened. The story is almost unbelievable in some ways. Infuriating in others. Sad in most all ways. Captivating and pulled together so well. Can’t wait for another season!!!

Speechless

I’ve been listening to podcasts for years. This is the first that has left me completely speechless. I frequently travel to Florida for vacation, but I’m considering NEVER going there again. If I’m ever going to be arrested on garbage charges I’ll take my chances in Mexico. They seem to be slightly less corrupt.

Next to none!

Someone else said this and it’s a big statement but honestly it’s the truth.. This is the first pod since Serial that I have felt so intensely consumed by. It’s absolutely incredible and I’m so proud of all of the players in this story for their tireless work to find justice for Leo and Michelle. Great work y’all!

Loved it ! Not surprised!

Love the story. Thanks so much. However, I am not at all surprised that this countries justice system and bent officials, locked up an innocent person. I’ve heard many stories just like this one. It’s a major problem is the US, our justice officals will do anything to clear a case and will never admit when they are wrong.

Great podcasting

This is by far one of the best true crime investigative reporting podcast I’ve ever listened to… and I have listened to a lot. This story is simply so gripping and is told so well by having these interviews woven throughout. Great storytelling and it’s easy to see how much work the hosts have put into this. I am not done yet but I felt compelled to write a review right away. Currently on ep. 7 and can’t wait to finish, hope Leo finds justice in the end.

Binge worthy!

Thank you for sharing Leo’s story. I am blown away that this injustice can occur and no resolution has been found…yet! I signed the petition to bring Leo home and I hope that this happens soon with more awareness of this story!

Absolutely amazing!

I’ve been a true crime listener for YEARS and this is my first time ever leaving a review. This is absolutely amazing and so heartbreaking. There’s a petition to get Leo’s case turned over to the conviction integrity unit. The power of the people is amazing and Leo deserves his life back. Thank you for the amazing storytelling in this podcast.

Free Leo

Leo deserves freedom. It blows my mind that this thing can happen. I’m so thankful Leo has you to tell his story. I’m praying Leo gets the freedom he rightfully deserves.

Awesome podcast and so full of emotion for both writers and incarcerated. I just moved to Tampa Fl and I’m considering driving to Lakeland to visit the sites mentioned in the story.

Phenomenal

Incredible reporting of an incredible- literally unbelievable story. I am praying for Leo every night that someone shows mercy on him - the courts, the parole board someone. Thank you Gilbert and team for your work on this story.

One Injustice after another

This story is incredibly well reported, and heartbreaking. From the senseless murder of a young woman to the conviction of her husband on evidence so flimsy and contradictory it should never have even made it to trial. Leo is innocent, and he needs to be released so that he can be with his family. I think anyone who spends any time at all reviewing the facts of this case can see that not only is this man not guilty, he is absolutely innocent. The actual murderer has confessed multiple times and given evidence only the killer would know. The police bungled this case and now they are trying to cover it up at the cost of a man’s entire life. An absolute injustice on every level.
