Incredible

Best podcast EVER!!! Hands down! So captivating, honest, revealing and the whole story, such as it is, is all here. It depicts our league system such as it is. God help us all. Some profanity but thankfully not much. It kept me on the edge of my seat and reminds me not to get into trouble in Florida lol. Thank you Hoping all goes well and the right thing is done for all parties involved

Innocent Man Imprisoned in Florida

Thank you, Gilbert, for bringing this story to light. Florida & Texas are two of the worst run states in the nation. They delight in punishing the innocent & setting the guilty up in the governor’s mansion. I pray that true justice will be served soon because of your diligence to truth. It’s long overdue

Painful story but full of heart

There’s so much to love about this podcast. The injustice eats at you but you have to believe in there will be some form of redemption for everyone involved.

Thought provoking research on a broken system

Powerful reporting and storytelling. Forces us all the wrestle with the fact that the system is built perfectly to get the results it is getting. Leo and his family are paying the very real price for that. So many reasons this system must be redesigned and stories like this help us to see both why and (at least some clues for) how.

I’m hooked!

Very well done. I’m writing this review before I even finish the podcast. I’ve been binging it for the last two days and I appreciate the thoroughness of Gilbert and his team. I look forward to finishing it up and to see some possible resolution.

Unbelievable!

I was hooked on the Podcast from Episode 1. It really tells the story of an unbelievable miscarriage of Justice. I did not grow up in Florida but now embarrassingly claim it as my state. Given the political tenor of this state, I’m not convinced that much has changed.

Best of the Year

Empathy for Michelle. Empathy for Leo. Even empathy for the real murderer. Exceptional, thoughtful reporting.

Insane

What a absolutely heartbreaking story about another wrongfully convicted in this country and how hard our government fights to keep people in prison. Amazing reporting from Gilbert and Kelsey. From a fellow North Carolinain

Free this man NOW!

The corrupt detectives and attorneys would rather let an innocent man die in prison then admit their wrongdoings! Shame on all those involved in denying this poor man a retrial. Get the Governor involved somehow and pray for him to commute his sentence.

Extremely gripping story. After listening I am amazed that even after this investigation that Leo is STILL incarcerated! In my opinion Polk County investigators and District Attorneys are far more despicable than Jeremy! Railroading an innocent man is bad enough, but to ignore the after the fact research and true facts and confessions is just disgusting. FREE LEO!!!!

Haunting and well done

This podcast is well-researched, haunting, and so so human. It left me in tears and with prayers for Leo’s release. Listen, but also take the next step and call the state. Ask them why they refuse to prioritize the constitution’s emphasis on freedom.

Exceptional reporting

Very well done Gilbert & Kelsey! Easily the best podcast of 2022. To not only humanize Leo but Jeremy as well takes great empathy and courage. Will be hoping for good news in this case. Keep up the great work, looking forward to following both of your careers.

Free Leo

Why in the world would a state in the land of the free have so much power that they can have the facts in their face and still let a wrongfully convicted man whom had multiple alibis rot away his life in jail. This is such a scary story of how shoty police work along with crooks in the states attorney’s office do not want the truth. There should be some other unbiased court that can look at this and get this poor man free. Leo I will pray for you

Giving Voice to the Voiceless

Great podcast that exposes the many ways in which our criminal justice system is terribly broken. I really appreciated the incredible deep dive reporting and the ways in which the effort, stories and frustrations moved the investigators. Thank you for putting in the time and effort that the police, prosecutors, and parole boards of Florida should be doing as part of their jobs. Leo deserves better than what our broken system delivered him.

Excellent

While listening to the first episode, I wasn’t sure if I would like this podcast. However, very quickly I became addicted to it, and couldn’t stop listening until I got to the end. Such great reporting, yet a heartbreaking story.

Excellent storytelling and reporting

I often find investigative true crime podcasts plodding, but not this one. The story is beautifully told in a way that brings out the terror and tragedy of Leo’s case with facts alone. The characters are rendered in all of their complexity without flattening them out. Thank you for making this.

Never trust the state

The state is like any other mammoth organization , it will protect buercrats above all others. If he is found wrongfully convicted. It’s embarrassing and a civil suit will follow. Be careful when you turn to the government to solve your problems. The government is slow and ineffective at basic tasks . It rewards seniority over skill and delivers a lame result.

The Most Important Podcast I’ve Heard

This story will trigger most of the emotions human possess. The podcast itself is professionally produced and presented. It’s sequential yet creative. I’m feeling angry but thankful for the story, the information. Its the first podcast that makes me want to get involved and do something to help this innocent man. #freeleoschofield

Great podcast

I listen to a lot of podcasts but have never really taken the time to review one. The storytelling in this podcast was so thorough and I thank the storytellers for bringing Michelle and Leo Schofield’s story to light. Praying that Leo sees justice carried out for his case soon. Highly recommend this podcast.

Couldn’t stop listening

Thank you for sharing this absolute tragedy of a story. I am moved by Leo’s ability to make meaningful work of his life while wrongfully imprisoned all of these years. I was captivated throughout every episode.
