Great podcast that exposes the many ways in which our criminal justice system is terribly broken. I really appreciated the incredible deep dive reporting and the ways in which the effort, stories and frustrations moved the investigators. Thank you for putting in the time and effort that the police, prosecutors, and parole boards of Florida should be doing as part of their jobs. Leo deserves better than what our broken system delivered him.

Excellent

While listening to the first episode, I wasn’t sure if I would like this podcast. However, very quickly I became addicted to it, and couldn’t stop listening until I got to the end. Such great reporting, yet a heartbreaking story.

Excellent storytelling and reporting

I often find investigative true crime podcasts plodding, but not this one. The story is beautifully told in a way that brings out the terror and tragedy of Leo’s case with facts alone. The characters are rendered in all of their complexity without flattening them out. Thank you for making this.

Never trust the state

The state is like any other mammoth organization , it will protect buercrats above all others. If he is found wrongfully convicted. It’s embarrassing and a civil suit will follow. Be careful when you turn to the government to solve your problems. The government is slow and ineffective at basic tasks . It rewards seniority over skill and delivers a lame result.

The Most Important Podcast I’ve Heard

This story will trigger most of the emotions human possess. The podcast itself is professionally produced and presented. It’s sequential yet creative. I’m feeling angry but thankful for the story, the information. Its the first podcast that makes me want to get involved and do something to help this innocent man. #freeleoschofield

Great podcast

I listen to a lot of podcasts but have never really taken the time to review one. The storytelling in this podcast was so thorough and I thank the storytellers for bringing Michelle and Leo Schofield’s story to light. Praying that Leo sees justice carried out for his case soon. Highly recommend this podcast.

Couldn’t stop listening

Thank you for sharing this absolute tragedy of a story. I am moved by Leo’s ability to make meaningful work of his life while wrongfully imprisoned all of these years. I was captivated throughout every episode.

Amazing!

I have never written a review on a podcast but had to for this one. It is amazing! More people need to hear this story to help Leo get out.

Not just a binge worthy true crime podcast

So well researched, chronicled, and presented, this podcast reminds us why innocence projects are needed. The State of Florida needs to look into the cases presented here instead of protecting law officers who are no longer alive.

Better than Serial S1

The years that went into creating this create a luxurious experience for the listener - not only do we get to learn about this astonishing case, we also get to see how excellent reporters do their work. Thank you to the team who pulled this together, it is an incredible gift to the world.

One of the best podcasts

Hands down one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to. It’s so well researched, you can tell that they really do care about Leo to put that much time in. It’s preposterous that this man never got justice. But it’s so nice to see compassion.

A must listen

Such a compelling story that is also completely infuriating. I knew nothing about this case, and I cannot believe Leo is still in jail. I’ve been convinced of his innocence through this podcast and hope he gets justice soon! This is a story that needs to be told.

Best coverage of true crime I've ever come across

The last episode gave me chills and was masterful storytelling. The coverage of this crime was comprehensive without becoming trauma porn. ImI hope justice is served someday.

Heartbreaking Well-told True Crime Podcast

Such a well-done true crime podcast seeking justice for an innocent man. So glad Leo is still rocking on, and truly hope he is freed. The State of Florida needs to listen to this and do the right thing.

This story is INSANE - and this podcast is INSANELY Great.

I listen to a lot of “wrongfully convicted” or murder podcasts. But this is altogether different. It is brilliantly produced and reported. Masterful work.

Just wow!

What an incredible story. Infuriating and so sad at the same time. I signed Leo’s petition on change.org. Hope he gets out soon!

Well Done Podcast / Interesting and Saddening Story

This podcast and the way that the story way told kept me interested and intrigued the entire way through. They deserve nothing less than a five star review for the awesome work that they have done here. I am also incredibly sad and angry at the miscarriage of justice that is being done here. Florida state and it’s legal system should be ashamed. I know a lot comes with admitting you put an innocent behind bars for over 30 years but trying to hide from the facts doesn’t make them go away. I sincerely hope that they decide to stop being ostriches and fix this situation. Maybe this podcast and all of us can help.

“Man In Black”

As a Floridian, as a family member of some one who was wrongly accused, as a child who spent time waiting to be allowed to see my father, as a spiritual person; I felt this hit every single part of my heart. I cannot find the words to express my emotions, I’ll quote the lyrics of “Man in Black” by Johnny Cash “Ah, I'd love to wear a rainbow every day/And tell the world that everything's okay/But I'll try to carry off a little darkness on my back /'Til things are brighter, I'm the man in black”

A travesty of “justice” for many

What a well done podcast. Quite frankly it sickens, disgusts, saddens, and scares me that the people in charge who have the ability to right some many wrongs refuse to do so. In the last ten minutes of episode 9, I had a lump in my throat and almost cried which is a rarity for me. I hope many will listen to this podcast, and change will be brought by it. True justice is deserved and needed for not only Michelle and her family, and for the taxi drivers family as well, but also for Leo, for it is truly awful for an innocent man’s life to be stolen by being put in prison.

Best podcast I have ever listened to.

Just finished… Living in Tampa, Florida, has made this podcast come to life in a way I don’t think it would have otherwise for me. I am down the street from all the places mentioned and a huge fan of Grady Judd. Is there a “Justice for Leo” t-shirt link anywhere? I would buy one for everyone I know. I also want to download his song. I will also be there on the day Leo IS released from prison because I know that there are hordes of brothers and sisters in Christ and others rooting for him.

WOW!

Amazing story! I hope justice will be served soon for Leo! Our system is broken for the innocent while the guilty walk free too many times!
