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.

An incredibly well done podcast

Really enjoyed this podcast and the story it told!!! It’s heinous how the Polk county prosecutors were able to get away with this!!!! Hoping Leo is exonerated soon!! Please please give an update soon on how he is doing!!!

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.

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.

The Humanity

Gilbert & Kelsey go to it & thru it to dig in all the dark corners, dragging the truth to light. I am impressed and amazed by the grace and humanity they pursue the story and seek to bring Leo his freedom. You can hear the lifetime of regret Leo wears on his vocal cords. As a young man who had no idea how to regulate his emotions, he owns his own faults yet stands solid where others would cave. The transformation to show compassion towards the man who savagely stole his wife’s life is a much bigger gesture than I can imagine giving- but there it is, the unfathomable… Chrissy who steadfastly believes in his innocence…The judge who gave a glimpse of what could be, turning his career and life to do justice… All of the above with the aim of accountability for Nicky’s murder. Telling the story in a compelling and engaging fashion. I cannot recommend this podcast highly enough. Listen now!

Excellent Podcast- a must listen

This story is heart breaking. I have so enjoyed this podcast, which is hard to say because the content is sad and infuriating, but the story telling is riveting and so well done. Thank you Gilbert and Kelsey for putting your all into telling this story and looking for the justice that is so well deserved for Michelle and Leo! I have loved the updates and admire the dedication to this.

Fantastic Podcast

Thank you for updating us! I just sobbed through that last episode. This is an incredibly heartbreaking and complicated story and this podcast does an amazing job telling the story with empathy. Investigative journalism at its finest, excellent sound production. The music is also incredible- bravo Leo. Florida is trash and so is our justice system. I really hope Leo gets justice.

incredible!

I could not stop listening. I gasped out loud often I shed tears I shook my head. I prayed I imagined myself being in the situation or having a loved one in the situation and what I would do - would I be like Leo ans so diol i’d grace and determination? I also assumed the worst & I played devils advocate, there are so many different emotions, and so many layers in this podcast and in the story. The prayer war room and the way Leo shared and how he leaned on his faith and in the Hope that comes in knowing Jesus was amazing to see play out. Thank you for such a well documented podcast. Obviously this podcast made of huge difference in leo’s case. I applaud your efforts. I also applaud the efforts of all those who have stood by Leo & worked so hard to see him be free.

Updates

It is so empathetic of the hosts to keep their audience informed and updated on Leo’s progress. Their support and belief in him is a testament to humankind’s existence that we can still do good on this planet.

Bone rattling and chilling!

Really good podcast on an, unfortunate, scandalous theme: how short sided government agents ruin the lives of innocent people… Hear me good; I’m not Anti-government person, the opposite! When people who are appointed to enforce the law in contrast make their own rules and keep citizens from experiencing a good working law, system that’s just scandalous, making the US not better than countries like Russia or even north-Korea, and these people should be held responsible. Leo should be a free man and compensated tremendously for the wrongdoing he has experienced all these decades… to that extent a very disappointing cast, without a good ending.

Amazing Journey

This podcast details an amazing story of injustice due to the wrongful conviction of Leo Schofield. It also provides detailed information about the character of Leo and his perseverance. I cannot even imagine. It would be difficult no to be bitter and resentful. So glad to have learned about this case through The Prosecutors Podcast. Well worth the time to listen and learn. Wishing Leo and those who strive to help him Godspeed! You all are in my prayers.
