Unbelievable
Episode by episode I was pulled into this heartbreaking yet beautiful story. Leo has taken what the Devil meant for evil, and turned it into good. He has undoubtedly saved the lives of other men. You two have saved the life of an innocent man by telling his story and the truth. He may not be free yet, but you saved his life and I believe he will be free one day.

Very well done
This story has so many twists and turns. It’s an unbelievable web … and you’ve done an amazing job untangling it all and retelling the story. I was completely memorized by this story. Job well done

Great story, a few editing mistakes
This is a really well told story, much better than most. Only complaint was that there were more than one editing mistakes where it skips ahead or backwards. Probably should fix those.

A must listen
As if I needed more reasons to hate Florida. This podcast is captivating, heartbreaking, and leaves you deeply disappointed with our legal system.

Heartbreaking
Well told story that is absolutely heartbreaking. Leo’s story is unbelievable. Thank you for taking and sharing.

Amazing podcast.
Fantastic reporting. Keep us posted on any updates!

Don’t miss this one!
One of my top 3 Podcasts! Thank you for all the hard work, tears, fear, frustration, and compassion that went into this project!

The gold standard for crime podcasts
Riveting, heartfelt, shocking, intelligent, and gripping. This podcast has it all in spades. A story of outrageous injustice and incredible resilience and grace. A must-listen.

Free Leo
He needs to be Exonerated

Heartbreaking
Great story telling, though such a heart breaking story. So glad the truth was told, but I don’t understand the injustice! So maddening. By the last episode I was bawling. Thank you for being a voice for Leo and telling the true story. I can only pray for a miracle.

Dream Team
I love every little thing about this pod. From the accents and cus words to the real life caped crusaders putting in the work to challenge judicial decisions, demanding justice!

Can’t stop listening
One of the best investigative podcasts I’ve listened to since Serial. Excellent reporting and Gilbert has a great voice and verbiage. The story is shocking and I will continue to follow for any updates as well as share with everyone!

Beautifully Haunting
STOP AND LISTEN. I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts and none come close to the beautifully haunting, and dare I say, at times, poetic way in which this heartbreaking story is told. The last 5 minutes of the last episode is like a requiem for what could have been. Amazing. And Gilbert does it all in a way with such respect and thorough investigation for all included. I found myself amazed that in the same moment my heart could ache so deeply for a professed murderer as well as the wrongfully accused and his family. Well done.

Incredible
This story brought me to tears on several different occasions. The injustice that has taken place and continues to take place in Florida is disturbing. From the minute you listen to Gilbert tell the facts in the first episode it is obvious that Leo couldn’t have killed his wife. Florida should be ashamed, embarrassed and those who have continued this injustice should be held responsible.

Hooked
The story keeps you captivated with great writing and great research. I personally felt like I was uncertain of the outcome until the last chapter. It is a shame this happens in the United States today, or 3.5 decades ago. Justice doesn’t always show up for all.

Excellent.
I listen to a lot of true crime podcasts, but this one is different. There's a multi-faceted human element here that I've never heard before, and the story is all at once heartbreaking and enthralling. Beautifully done, and it's absolutely going to stick with you...because it's more than a story, it's a call to action.

Reality
The reality that a innocent man is sitting behind bars for a crime that he did not commit is just beyond me. I truly believe the state prosecutor's knows that Leo is truly innocent and instead of admitting their wrong, and face being sued for damages, they continue to keep up this charade of keeping an innocent man behind bars. This is just wrong on so many levels.

Broken system
It crushes me to listen to this podcast but I can’t stop, and won’t. The lawyers on this case should have been disbarred. The is a HUGE problem with our criminal system. Any first year law student will see the glaring abuse and ineffectiveness. I’ve often seen prosecutorial bulling, single focused objective, ignoring the evidence and fabricated evidence but never the total lack of a defense strategy or effort.

Love! Captivating story
I loved this podcast. It is so well done. It is told with facts but still, it made me feel. I want Leo out! I wish there is something that could be done with the State of Florida to make them sensible. Also, I would love the theme song to be available to buy on ITunes. I’ve been binging the podcast and I find myself singing it all the time. Maybe proceeds could help Leo in some way…?! Thanks again for a captivating listen.

Very good
Very good story and storytelling. But didn’t need Kelsey (she didn’t add anything) and could have been about two episodes shorter.

Great show!
I was hooked from the first episode. I also appreciate that there is empathy on behalf of the hosts, who are telling the story of Michelle as a person and not just a victim. *NOTE* Please check your editing! There are cuts in both episode 3 and 4 that skip ahead or retread earlier portions. This is distracting and takes away some key information. Hope it gets fixed!

One of the best!
I have listened to many true crime podcasts and this is definitely one of the best! Very well done.

Incredible reporting; wrongful conviction
Riveting podcast, but more than that, this is incredible reporting by Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker. Clearly, Leo Schofield has been wrongly convicted and deserves a new trial. This is a gross miscarriage of justice by the State of Florida. Listen, share, and demand a new trial for Leo. #FreeLeoSchofield

Amazing, thoughtful, moving….
Perfect. Thank you for putting such an important story out there. Florida needs to make this right, and give Leo Schofield his life back. Keep up the brilliant work!

Compelling story. Excellent podcast! More please!!

Great investigative reporting
Thanks for all your work on this story—very well done.

Just wow
I never thought a podcast would bring me to tears and leave me heartbroken. The state of FL is is corrupt, the entire system, Leo deserves justice, they need to do what is right. This podcast was so beautifully produced, I absolutely loved it.

Great podcast!
I have listened to MANY crime podcasts and I genuinely enjoyed this one. Made my top 5 list for sure! Leo’s story has truly blown my mind. It’s almost scary that the government has done this to his life and how they can get it away with this? Thank you for shedding light onto this story. It’s been mind blowing and a great podcast to listen to!
