Who killed Michelle Schofield?
According to the state of Florida, Michelle's husband, Leo Schofield, is responsible for her death. If you were to ask Schofield, he would tell a different story. In an interview with 20/20, Schofield told reporter Amy Robach, "Innocent is no part in it, no plan in it, didn't know it was happening, didn't know it was going to happen and didn't want it to happen. That is me."
So, what did happen to Michelle Schofield?
The Florida Courts say her husband, but forensic evidence and a confession point to Jeremy Scott.
Where is Jeremy Scott now?
Jeremy Scott is currently in Florida State Prison in Raiford, Fla., still serving his life sentence. Schofield's attorneys requested a new trial based on Scott's fingerprints found in Michelle's car. The request was denied because the "court found that Scott's fingerprints alone would not likely have led to an acquittal on retrial and ruled there were no issues with the trial evidence that would have led to Leo's exoneration," as reported by ABC News.
