AMÉN AND DITTO TO THE LAST REVIEW
No adequate words agree to describe how I feel about the injustice done in this case-on both sides. It’s one thing to defend something wholeheartedly, like the State’s attorney does by calling an innocent man a ‘cold blooded murderer,’ but to continue to defend that view after direct evidence proving the absolute opposite of your view is presented to you-especially when a man’s future is at stake-STUPID. The state’s attorney has let his appointed power go straight to his head and as we’ve all heard most of our lives: Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Unfortunately, Leo is probably only one example of many who have fallen prey to this corrupted power.

Favorite podcast of 2022
Bone Valley is hands down my favorite podcast of 2022. It’s disgusting that the so called justice system can knowingly do what they’ve done to Leo, and many others.

Excellent podacst
My heart breaks for Leo and his family. His story is skillfully told, as well as what happened to Michelle and Jeremy, who killed her. I hung on every word, and couldn’t wait for each new episode. Thank you Gilbert and Kelsey for your diligence and heart.

Holy crap
Why is he not out of prison???? Blows my mind.

Well done
Really well written. Thank you, and please keep going!

Maddening, Heartbreaking and So Important
Justice for Leo. I’m a lawyer in Missouri and I’ll be sharing this podcast with anyone who will listen. The criminal justice system is broken in a lot of ways, and this is such an egregious example. Thank you for fighting the good fight.

Unbelievable
The story telling magic of Gilbert King mixed with the outrage one feels while learning about this injustice makes for an incredible podcast. I wish there was something we could do as listeners to help Leo. One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to!

Very compelling story
It was so unfortunate to hear the things Leo had to go through for all of these years. Thank you for taking the time to investigate, research, and report the story that so many of us were unfamiliar with. Leo is an awesome person who was able to remain behind bars until justice is uncovered. -Katherine A Few Bad Apples Podcast

You don’t want it to end…
One of the best podcasts I’ve ever listened to.

Excellent
Wow.. Speechless.. incredible story, well researched and written.. my heart aches for Leo and his family. Florida.. Please do the right thing.

Amazing
So well produced and narrated. My heart burns for the injustices. I’m disgusted by the corruption, ego and indifference of law enforcement. Free Leo!

What now?
A very well done podcast, well researched, and more importantly, heartbreaking. The fact that Leo is still in jail makes my blood boil. But here’s where the podcast let me down. Tell us what to do! Write to the governor of Florida, write to the board of pardons. Give us those addresses, rally the troops. If we inundate them with letters, emails and phone calls, maybe that will make a difference. Don’t leave us hanging without something we can do! I compare this to the APM podcast about the Flowers case that went all the way to the Supreme Court and was overturned. Getting the public involved can help. Just tell us what to do.

Riveting
MUST LISTEN & DEMAND JUSTICESuch an incredible 35 year journey! I give you 10 stars! SO thorough! Just the right amount of empathy! The real "killers" in this excellent, engrossing story are those we rely upon to serve Justice. They, themselves did a fantastic job of exposing how far they will go to protect such meaningless things as their egos and careers. There's are one worse human beings in this story than Florida state attorneys, sheriffs and judges!

Riveting, heartbreaking and infuriating
Where do I sign up to free Leo Schofield? One of the best podcasts I’ve listened to in a very long time. Thank you for telling this story. I hope Leo is exonerated and freed as a result. And I hope he sues the state of Florida and receives monetary compensation—not that it could ever make up for all he’s lost.

Wow!! The impact of this podcast
This is one of the best true crime podcast I have listened to. You can tell you both put your heart into this for Leo. It’s heartbreaking that he has endured all of this loss and blame for all these years. The music is a chilling good fit to this podcast. I look forward to the day you update to tell us Leo is free. I’m in tears after the episode 9. Thank you for your time and investment to tell Leo’s story.

Top tier, among the best
Right up there with Serial, The Trojan Horse Affair, The Lady Vanishes, and Suspect, this is a first class piece of audio journalism. Great work by all involved. Looking forward to updates. Got to believe Leo will finally receive the justice he’s been denied for the last 30 years. A

Best true crime podcast ever.
Truly amazing reporting, storytelling, and grave lessons about the consequences of when the justice system goes awry.

Powerful is an understatement
This is the most profound story of a striking miscarriage of justice, the tragic impacts of trauma in our communities and what it is to be human. I personally was so moved by this piece that I’m going to look into opportunities to assist in my community to help break the cycle of violence. Thank you for this stellar piece of journalism!

Amazing
I have listened to many true crime podcasts and this is near the top! Very well done and presented, great story line, pulls at the heart. All the things needed to make it a great listen!

Frustrating
This is a podcast where the story still sits with me after the episode is over. I've never felt so much frustration and anger towards our justice system.

Extremely well done
Sincerely one of the best podcasts I have listened to. Heartbreaking in many ways and done in a way that honors those who have part of their story told. Forgiveness, truth and hope.

Excellent Podcast!!
This story tells of a terrible injustice that everyone should hear! I hope this finds it to someone who will ‘Do the Right Thing!’ ~Freedom for Leo~No faith in the justice~

Unbelievably good!
You will run the gamut of emotions from sadness to anger to hope. Listen for yourself!

I’m so angry
Devastatingly sad. And infuriating. I hope this podcast is the spark needed.

Speechless.
I don’t know where to start. Leo and Michelle’s stories have touched me in ways I did not expect. Their stories deserve to be heard. Justice still needs to be served. Our justice system has failed a great human, and yet he continues to be a good human when most would choose to be bitter. Thank you to the hosts who invested your time and energy into this - it shows through your work. I can’t recommend this podcast enough, and just hope that real change comes from it for Leo and those involved. Bravo.

Make This Right!
Give Leo his freedom! This is insane!

Excellent and heart-wrenching.
In tears as I listen to the last episode. Outstanding reporting. Justice for Leo.

This is how great podcasts are made
This podcast is perfectly done from start to finish. It is paced very well, it doesn’t over share the same info over and over again, but you never feel lost. If this one doesn’t win awards I’d be very surprised.

Heartbreaking but wonderfully told
I listen to this podcast without knowing much at all about the case other than what was in the trailer. It sucked me in and broke my heart. Justice for Leo!
