Riveting

I just finished bingeing season 2, and it was incredible. Gilbert did a masterful job of humanizing a man who has done evil things, reminding all of us that all humans have worth and that love transforms lives.

Amazing

This story is told so well, Season 1 I was so vested with Leo. This 2nd Season filled my heart with such love. How amazing that so much love has come from something terrible. Leo’s ability to forgive and show grace to Jeremy should teach us all a lesson. Hearing Justin and Jeremy getting to know each other made me cry. It’s so important to love your children, hug them, tell them how much you care and support them. I can only imagine if Jeremy had supports as a child things could have turned out differently for so many. Being loved by your parents is unmeasurable. Thank you for your Amazing story telling. I feel like I know them. I can’t wait for more.

Well worth the listen

I have not listened to a podcast quite like this. It is remarkable. The narrator is compassionate, tenacious, thoughtful, kind and never stops asking the hard questions. I don’t know if there are awards for podcasts, but this deserves one. A story of heartbreak, consequences, justice miscarriage, forgiveness and healing.

Beware! This podcast will change you!

I have listened to season one five or six times. I get excited every time I convince someone to listen so I can follow alongside. Season two already has me hooked in wish I had the willpower to wait so I could binge the entire series.

Good with fairly minimal bias

Fascinating case and story beautifully told. So fascinating that I read the court transcripts myself. Upon reading the court transcripts, I felt the podcast was biased in a few places - certain trial details were downplayed in my opinion. I’d still recommend it, but reading the transcripts offers a fuller perspective.

Great story!

This is such a heartbreaking important story to tell. So many injustices present here. Thank goodness for the podcasters who are shining a light on how broken the system is.

Favorite Podcast of all TIME

This podcast told this story so well, to where I feel like I know these people. I’ve cheered them on and on the day Leo got out I cried. It’s truly a love story, I know that doesn’t sound right but it is. It’s a love story in so many ways, I’m thankful that it was shared with us and I can’t wait to hear what’s to come.

Incredible

This is an unbelievable story covered in great detail with true compassion. I literally cried my eyes out As I was making dinner for my family. The willingness and ability to forgive is beyond belief. Thank you for telling this story

Excellent podcast of another tragic injustice

Until there is a wholesale reeducation of prosecutors and accountability for their misdeeds, these tragedies will never end. They are programmed to value convictions rather than truth and justice. Victoria Avalon is exhibit A and a disgrace to the profession and humanity.

Unbelievable Story and Journalism

I got emotional during episode 8. I couldn’t believe that this was actually happening to Leo in the modern day. He is so clearly innocent. The manipulation, coercion, deception, incompetence…the list goes on, that the prosecutors and detectives in this case have exuded is surreal. Incredible story…. But listener beware: you will be infuriated with the justice system after listening to this podcast.

Leo makes me want to do better!

This is an incredible story, full of ups and downs and absolutely heartbreak. It also shines a light on our justice system and how quickly we throw people away and forget about them. It made me want to take action and look for ways I can be an advocate for those whose voice has been silenced.

Incredible Story

Leo’s story is so incredibly sad and was told beautifully. Bone Valley is a podcast I’ve been following on Apple Podcasts and knew I’d eventually get to it. I finally did and binged it in less than 24 hours. I’d like to say that what I heard was insane, but it’s extremely obvious at this point to me that not only is our justice system beyond broken, but so are the people running it. I know that there’s probably thousands of Leo’s in this country. The fact that we got to hear his story is why podcasts are such an incredible vehicle bc without it… I don’t think he’d be home rn. Finding out he was coming home brought me to tears bc it was truly looking so bleak and hopeless. His spirit, his strength, his patience… I don’t know how he did it. I’d love to hear an update. I hope all the good things for Leo

Amazing podcast

This is an amazing podcast, but it’s physically painful for me to listen to it. I can’t believe that these things go on, and it’s beyond infuriating. I admire Leo for his unbelievable strength. I haven’t finished listening, and I pray Leo gets justice! Please!! Thank God for the makers of this podcast.

Recommend this podcast to everyone!

Amazingly well done podcast about an absolutely insane story. Not only the murder, but the life story of everyone involved is incredibly moving, heart breaking, and uplifting in a world where such an atrocity can be allowed to occur. As a fellow Floridian, we are appalled by the blatant dismissive of obvious evidence and the wrongful conviction of Leo. Thank you for making this podcast to tell his and Michelle’s story. We will think about this for years to come and will continue to support Leo’s exoneration.

WoW!!

As a prison reform advocate I have listened to SO many of these stories. This story is by far the one that has hit me the hardest! I pivoted between anger and tears the entire series! I live in Florida and it’s scary to think this could happen to anyone and does happen. I believe in Leo’s innocence and it absolutely breaks my heart that he has had to go through so much. More importantly, it’s absolutely amazing how humble and strong he is and has remained over the last 36+ years. I really enjoyed Kelsey & Gilbert’s reporting and they did really well together! My prayer is that Leo is exonerated. 💜

Justice denied

Anyone who has listened and did not believe Leo is innocent, is apparently deaf. What a heartbreaking infuriating story. God bless all who stood up for the truth, including Jeremy Scott.

Superb journalism

The show gave me chills. As the tragedies and injustices unfold and multiply, I pivot between tears and fury. One of the most remarkable podcasts I have ever listened to.
