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.

Great Podcast

Not only is the story very well told and entertaining, but it also is heartbreaking. The last episode was so emotional for me. You can feel how much work went into this project. It’s moving and worth the listen. It’s one podcast that reminds you these are real people and real lives affected by tragedy. Not just a story for us to listen to for entertainment.

Story had me on the edge of my seat and found myself cheering for the main character made me realize how much work goes into a story like this.

Made me cry

This latest ep of Leo’s first day, seeing things for the first time, being hesitant about whether he’s “allowed” to do things, really brought tears to my eyes. There’s a lot of change in 36 years.

Fantastic podcast! A must listen!

I started listening to the Prosecutors podcast. Their most recent release was about Leo’s release and they said if you haven’t listened to Bone Valley stop this podcast. Go listen. And then come back. So I did. And I am glad that I did. This was such a tragic and sad case and it maddened me at all the balls that were dropped, the justice system who failed to do their job left and right. It was obvious to so many that Leo was innocent of this crime yet even another man confessing to the murder couldn’t get him out. I still just can’t fathom all this happening that way that it did. Well done Gilbert and Kelsey! Y’all did an exceptional job researching and getting the truth out there.

Send Leo Home!

Couldn’t stop listening. Heartbreaking life story that is not over. Praying for Leo to persevere until he is exonerated. Excellent work Gilbert and Kelsey! Last episode where you painted a picture of Michelle dancing by the fire just got me! Love the lion Leo drew for Judge Cupp.
