Hello. As most of you know, there has been much publicity lately regarding Leo's case and the wrongful conviction. You can follow updates here, of course; and also at this new website: www.freeleoschofield.com.
Leo Schofield has spent 34 years in prison for the murder of his wife, Michelle – a crime for which he has always maintained his innocence. 15 years after Leo’s conviction, another man, Jeremy Scott, was forensically linked to the crime. Since then, Scott has given multiple detailed confessions to the murder of Michelle Schofield.
This is from a professor that I know is talking about Leo’s case in a criminal justice course!:
We’ll all be praying and sending support anyway possible. My students actually created several social media groups and have been posting about his case. They had me take photos today for them:) Please let us know any other way we can help: hopefully after tomorrow, Leo is free and building his life on the outside.
Gilbert King’s show is a look at the Lakeland murder of Michelle Schofield and whether her convicted husband is guilty.
In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder. Yet
In 1987, 18-year-old Michelle Schofield was found dead in a phosphate pit in Florida. Two years later, her husband Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison.
Fifteen years later, previously unidentified fingerprints matched Jeremy Scott--a violent teenager who lived nearby. Jeremy has since confessed to Michelle’s murder. Yet Leo Schofield remains behind bars.
In Bone Valley, a groundbreaking 9-episode podcast, host Gilbert King uncovers startling new evidence that Jeremy is responsible for a string of murders.
King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, Devil in the Grove, which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.
