Exceptional Storytelling, Well Done

Gilbert King chose a story worth investigating and did it well. One of the best podcasts in a long time. I’ve listened to other investigative journalists tell sad stories of botched police investigations and miscarriages of Justice, but this story truly leaves you with true admiration and respect for the journalists in their pursuit of the truth. I’ve listened to plenty of true crime podcasts that often fall short in one way or another - sometimes every single episode is milked to keep you listening to the end when no concrete conclusion is reached. Not the case here. They solve the case and more than one case. The story is told selflessly, accurately and completely. King and his assistant Kelsey took great care to not interfere or taint a potential new trial and allow the truth to come out on its own. What we are left with is a scathing and sad indictment of the Justice system. I hope that this story being told can bring hope for Leo and his case. I hope that maybe in his next parole hearing, that the man from the state who so blatantly misled the board could listen to this reporting and repent and advocate for his release. If not him, than I hope an appeal could be made to Governor DeSantis to pardon Leo. I really hope that another chapter will be out there.
