WOW
I was just blown away listening to this podcast. It was Incredibly well researched and presented but so disturbing!
Incredible
So captivating. This podcast is so well-told and well-researched, and the story itself is twisting and heartbreaking. Everyone should listen to this story.
EXCELLENT
Like many others, I am a true crime podcast fanatic. This, BY FAR, is the very best that I’ve listened to. At the same time, it’s terribly sad that in this country you can go to prison because a person decides that is what they want, because it’s easier than to investigate. The FL DOJ should have to pay this man amounts that his great-great-great grandkids shouldn’t have to worry with money. Really enjoyed Leo’s story. Hated to finish the last bonus episode. Godspeed Leo, may God turn his face upon you, go before you, behind you, all around you. His plan for you is just in the beginning stages. Be Blessed!
20 out of 10
This is the BEST episodic podcast to come out since Serial. I cannot believe this has not gone viral.
The first to bring me to tears…
I’ve listened to a LOT of true crime podcasts… I’m a bit of a true crime junkie. And I’ve been moved by many stories of wrongful conviction, but NONE have moved me the way this story has. Gilbert and Kelsey weave a story like no other. To tell Leo’s story would have been enough, but the WAY it was told was so captivating. I’ve never been brought to tears listening to a podcast, until now. I’m so invested in this story that I can’t stop thinking about it and how I could possibly help. We ALL need to hear this story. At the heart of it is truth. And Leo put it beat when he said that his story transcends what anyone else thinks… because it’s the truth and nothing can change that. This is truly a case of storytelling changing the world. And I PRAY it changes the world of Leo and his family. Justice is deserved.
Amazing investigation and Sad Reality
This story is so well told! Captivating and unbelievable! It sickens me that there are no checks and balances on law enforcement when things are incredibly corrupt! In between the lines could not read clearer, and unfortunately all of that evidence isn’t enough for justice! Great professionalism, story telling and heart is in every episode. The best true crime podcast there’s been in years!

Cannot miss this podcast. Praying for the right outcome. Five stars!
Wonderful!
I’ve been listening to true crime podcasts for several years now. Y’all have become one of my favorites!!! I love approach you took, the way that you talked to the actual people involved and the overall presentation. I look forward to a second season!!!
Two words tell you all you need to know: Polk county
As a true crime aficionado, I was surprised to find that I was listening to a podcast about a guy I once supervised when I worked for the state of Florida. His reputation for being innocent of the crime he was found guilty of preceded him, especially among fellow inmates. Sure sounds like he got railroaded by the Polk county good-ole-boy system.
A must listen.
Mesmerizing from the first episode. A must listen.
Mesmerizing storytelling
Could not stop listening. I hope he gets out, and soon. I really struggled with one aspect of all of this. Chrissie violated every ethical boundary we social workers have and I am shocked she is still allowed to call herself a social worker, much less carry a license. She lacked professional boundaries by developing a personal relationship with an inmate in her role in the prison. And she seems unconcerned about it cause Leo was a nice guy. I mean lucky for Leo she violated her ethics but still….unpalatable for sure.
Top of my list pod cast- A MUST listen to!!
This podcast was so frustrating.. Due to the injustice of our state's legal system.For what? So they don't have to say they were wrong?? They destroyed a man's right to a future.. Leo has got to be one of the strongest men anyone could know, to have gone through all the loss that he did. And then to be unjustly accused of a crime that all of us hearing this podcast knew from the get-go.. He did not do! I am so sorry for all you have had to endure. To everyone who never gave up and kept the fight going.. You should be truly proud of the work you've done on this case!! This made me ANGERY.. Sad.. and at times in tears for ALL of you. You ever gave up.. You kept digging and because of that you made the world see the truth! My prayers to all of you!
Amazing!!!!
This was the most amazing story in a totally gut wrenching way! I was left sobbing at the end and actually felt compassion for Jeremy! A lesson in life as well as a total travesty!!!!! Such a dichotomy of emotion!!!!!!!!
Just listen.
This story is just incredible. Thank you Gilbert, Kelsey, and everyone else who worked so hard to share Leo’s story — it has truly moved me beyond words. Everyone needs to hear this.
Unbelievable
My only suggestion is to not listen to it while driving because you will scream and cry and be left in disbelief. Thank you for sharing this unbelievable story.
Ahhhh amazing.
I’m so on edge. Can’t we all just go picket at the courthouse? How can the state be so obvious they don’t want to change this and face lawsuits?! Just so sad. So glad I no longer live in FL. I hope he gets his justice. Great job!
Hi I need you know when I’m home I’ll let you know when
I don’t want to go back home later in a little bit if I get back to my house tonight I’ll be back home in the gym I’ll be home in the
Moving
I’ve never written a review for a podcast before despite being an avid listener for years. This is one of the most profound and spell-binding stories I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing. Truly portrays the dynamism of humans. Thank you and bravo. Justice for Leo and Michelle, but also love to Jeremy.
a must listen to
JESUS H. CHRIST. What the f is wrong with people?!
Fun and addictive and I will be back to you
I have a few things to do with the girls but I’m not sure what to the girls are going on or if you need anything

I couldn’t not listen to every episode! I am in constant prayer that Leo gets released, if he’s not already! God is in the details! Great job Gilbert and Kelsey
Stellar Story Telling…
So good! Drop everything and listen to this podcast. Heartbreaking and I’m awe! Gilbert and Kelsey, well done and thank you for all you invested.
All of Florida is literal trash
Impressive reporting about a whole lot of disgusting people. Most impressive might be the fact that the reporters didn’t set fire to the entire state when uncovering the truth of this absolute travesty. Hoping for justice, though it seems unlikely.
Riveting
This man is innocent!!! Heart-wrenching story
