Podcast appearances and mentions of leo schofield

When Jeremy Scott confessed that he - and not Leo Schofield - murdered Michelle Schofield in 1987, the state of Florida refused to believe him. Journalist Gilbert King's quest to exonerate Leo drew him closer into Jeremy's background and the family who drifted away from him. Convinced the key to clearing Leo's name included proving Jeremy's involvement in a separate unsolved murder, King doubled down on his investigation, turning up new leads. But the effort brought King new understanding of the convict as he takes stock of his life and contemplates the consequences of his actions. In season two of the critically acclaimed podcast series “Bone Valley” from  Lava for Good and Signal Co. 1, King focuses on the man responsible for Leo's wrongful conviction and develops an unlikely connection. He also works as a kind of advocate for Jeremy, working to set the record straight about his many crimes and do right by the many people he's hurt - including Leo Schofield.OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "BONE VALLEY" SEASON TWO BEGIN IN THE FINAL TEN MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.

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 season 2 of Bone Valley, host Gilbert King turns his focus on Jeremy Scott. He attempts to find out what turned Jeremy into a cold-blooded killer and who else may have suffered his wrath. King is the author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning book, "Devil in the Grove," which led to the exonerations of four innocent men.Sample episode available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-bone-valley-101763565/episode/introducing-bone-valley-season-2-271378968/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Breaking Down "Bone Valley" Season 1 With Gilbert King Part 1 What if the man in prison isn't the killer—but the real suspect confessed, and nothing changed? In 1987, Michelle Schofield vanished. Days later, her body was found—and her husband, Leo, was convicted. But now, Pulitzer Prize-winner Gilbert King is uncovering the disturbing truth behind Leo Schofield's decades-long incarceration. A judge turned whistleblower, a witness with a history of delusions, and a justice system that seemed more interested in closing the case than solving it. Leo was across town with witnesses when Michelle was allegedly killed—so why is he still in prison? And how did the real suspect's fingerprints on Michelle's car not lead to justice? King's deep dive into the case, now revealed in Bone Valley Season 2, exposes the tangled web of small-town loyalties, prosecutorial maneuvering, and a defense that never stood a chance. This is the story of a man who never stopped saying he was innocent—and the journalist who believed him. #BoneValley #LeoSchofield #MichelleSchofield #GilbertKing #WrongfulConviction #TrueCrimePodcast #FloridaJusticeSystem #ColdCase #InnocentManInPrison #HiddenKillers Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?  Check out our YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/@hiddenkillerspod Instagram https://www.instagram.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hiddenkillerspod/ Tik-Tok https://www.tiktok.com/@hiddenkillerspod X Twitter https://x.com/tonybpod Listen Ad-Free On Apple Podcasts Here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/true-crime-today-premium-plus-ad-free-advance-episode/id1705422872

I continue my conversation with Gilbert King, the host of Bone Valley, on the relationship that's developed between Jeremy Scott, the man who says he killed Michelle Schofield, and Leo Schofield, who was convicted of her murder. In Part 2 of this conversation, we discuss the evidence against Jeremy, his confession to another crime that could result in a death sentence, Leo's friends who were also inmates who watch over Jeremy and profound questions about the legacy of the Jim Crow South on its current criminal justice system and whether a person who cannot be rehabilitated to the point joining society can be redeemed.Contact me at silverliningshandbookpod@gmail.comCheck out the Silver Linings Handbook website at:https://silverliningshandbook.com/Check out our Patreon to support the show at:https://www.patreon.com/thesilverliningshandbookJoin our Facebook Group at:https://www.facebook.com/groups/1361159947820623Visit the Silver Linings Handbook store to support the podcast at:https://www.bonfire.com/store/the-silver-linings-handbook-podcast-storeVisit The True Crime Times Substack at:https://truecrimemessenger.substack.comThe Silver Linings Handbook podcast is a part of the ART19 network.

In 2018, author Gilbert King received a tip from a Florida judge that there was a man in prison serving a life sentence he didn't deserve. King's pursuit of that lead became Bone Valley—a remarkable podcast about cold blooded murder, the deeply flawed conviction of Leo Schofield and a relentless pursuit of the truth.

In the second hour of The Show, Amy and Chris speak with Gilbert King, the host of the Bone Valley podcast, about Leo Schofield, a man serving a sentence for a crime he did not commit. Amy's friend had a new coworker that no one knew about for almost a week. Mike Claiborne joins the show live from London to update us on the Cardinals. Later, Danni Eickenhorst, owner of The Fountain on Locust, joins the show to discuss the harassment her business has faced during Pride Month.

Amy and Chris are joined by the host of Bone Valley Podcast, Gilbert King, to discuss Leo Schofield, a man that was convicted for a crime he did not commit.

In this inaugural episode of "Wrongful Convictions & Cold Cases," Andy interviews pulitzer-prize winning author Gilbert King, the creator and host of the "Bone Valley" podcast about the wrongful conviction of Leo Schofield, who was convicted of murdering his wife Michelle in 1988 and has been in prison for over 35 years. 

Leading off: After all of his appeals options have been exhausted, Leo Schofield has one last path to freedom. A Florida parole board agrees to consider his application for release. Setting aside his claims of innocence and focusing on his conduct during 35 years of incarceration, the board offers some hope. In the bonus episode of “Bone Valley,” Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker examine the board's nuanced ruling and talk to Leo about what lies ahead.Moving on: Documentarians are granted unfettered access to a civil trial and the deliberations of its jury. The panel includes Ronald Gladden, who takes his role earnestly. What he doesn't know is that the judge, the lawyers, and his eleven fellow jurors are all actors. When alternate juror James Marsden - played by the real James Marsden - gets the jury sequestered, Ronald remains unaware of the elaborate charade as he interacts with quirky characters, ridiculous situations, and bizarre testimony.“Jury Duty,” available on Amazon's Freevee, wraps its scripted trial in a real life comedy of manners featuring an unsuspecting everyman. But Ronald surprises both the audience and the producers with his heartwarming tolerance to the idiosyncratic jurors, the oddball defendant, and the nutty set pieces engineered for his benefit.  OUR SPOILER-FREE REVIEWS OF "JURY DUTY" BEGIN IN THE FINAL 8 MINUTES OF THE EPISODE.In Crime of the Week: Days of wine and lollipops.

The series explores the case of Leo Schofield, a man convicted of murder in a gross miscarriage of justice. King, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove, and Decker, a producer with a background in sociology and oral history, came together in a four-year quest to peel back the layers of Schofield's case, uncovering startling new evidence and chilling confessions that are a call to action for long-awaited justice and redemption.Takeaways from Gilbert King and Kelsey Decker1. Does your idea need to be told in audio? Bone Valley did.  As storytellers, we have many formats to choose from. So how do you know when your idea is well-suited to audio, versus a book, a film, or a video? As an author, King's first instinct was to write a longform article about Leo Schofield's case. But as soon as he and Decker talked with Leo, they realized that the story begged for audio. “The power of their voices made us pivot,” King says. “I don't think they would have been the same in print. I love the way their voices break and crackle and emote.”2. Start with a sound visionSecond, you may have noticed that King and Decker had a pretty clear “sound vision” for Bone Valley. I always remember producer John Barth saying, in episode 2, “You have to have a distinctive sound vision.” When he develops a new show, he imagines the kind of listener he wants to attract. That determines what the show needs to sound like. In Bone Valley, the two producers made sure to simply lay out fact after fact, so the listener couldn't escape the conclusion or emotion. They used both sound design and language to create a work of narrative nonfiction and made sure not to sensationalize or cheapen the story. Furthermore, Decker could hear how the narration should sound in her head. She and other  producers directed King to voice the narration to match that sound. And sound designer Britt Spangler attended story conferences – and helped shape the scripts from the start.3. Podcasts are a team sportGilbert King won a Pulitzer for his book Devil in the Grove. So you might imagine he had nothing else to learn as a writer. But he'd never done a podcast before. His early drafts were written for the page, with too much narration, and quotes, which don't work in audio. When he and Decker hooked up with the production company Lava for Good, he learned from their producers how to write for the ear. Subscribe to Sound Judgment, the NewsletterWant more of this kind of audio storytelling analysis?

Imagine you're an investigative journalist and a judge asks you to read the transcripts of a 1987 murder case, explaining that the man they convicted is innocent and still serving time. In 2018, Brooklyn-based, author, journalist, and podcaster, Gilbert King, read those transcripts and immediately felt compelled to find out more about convicted murderer, Leo Schofield and the victim, Leo's wife, Michelle. So what would you do if you were all set to spend the next year or so writing a book, but this case was calling you to investigate? Would you shrug it off and hunker down and start writing? Or would you spend the next few years interviewing both the convicted killer and the real killer for your podcast, Bone Valley?

If you're feeling bad about being a lawyer, or just maybe tingling with the holiday spirit of giving back, this episode is for you.  Listen to three professionals (well, maybe two "professionals") who deeply admire for the legal profession, the important role attorneys play in society, and all the potential they have to make the world a better place. When there is strife, there is a supporting organization, and with them are lawyers. Wrongful convictions. Voting rights. Environmental protection. The rights of women, people of color, workers,  LGBTQ, immigrants, asylum seekers.  Lawyers are in a unique position to do something about all of this. And they do. And we hope more will.Join me as I interview nationally acclaimed trial consultant Tara Trask and music industry star-maker Jason Flom.

Jason is personally responsible for launching acts such as Katy Perry and Greta Van Fleet, and discovering and developing the likes of Matchbox 20, The Corrs, Tory Amos, Jewel, and Stone Temple Pilots. The New Yorker described Jason as “one of the most successful record men of the past 20 years. He's also committed to doing good. Through his Lava for Good company, Jason hosts the hit podcast Wrongful Conviction, now in its ninth season, which features interviews with people who have spent decades in prison for crimes they did not commit. Within two weeks of its release, the podcast shot to #7 on the iTunes charts and has raised more than $1 million to benefit the Innocence Project.

On August 18, 1974, a 19 year old woman was found raped and beaten to death in Tampa, FL. Police focused on 18 year old Robert DuBoise who allegedly “caused problems” in the area. Dr. Richard Souviron, a forensic odontologist, matched Robert's teeth to a supposed bite mark on the victim's cheek using bite mark analysis techniques that have since been discredited. Based on the supposed dental match, Robert was ultimately sentenced to death. Gilbert King is the writer and host of the Lava For Good podcast, Bone Valley. He is also a New York Times bestseller and Pulitzer Prize winning author of the book Devil in the Grove. Gilbert has written about race, civil rights, and the death penalty for The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, and The Marshall Project. While in Florida working on the Lava for Good podcast Bone Valley, Gilbert learned of Robert's exoneration, which moved and inspired Gilbert to continue the fight for other innocent individuals. Robert and Leo Schofield, the subject of Bone Valley, were incarcerated together in the same Florida facility. In this episode, Gilbert and Robert connect over their ties to the Tampa area and the Florida criminal justice system.

Two years later, Schofield was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for the murder he has always denied.

Scott has now confessed to Michelle's murder, yet Schofield remains behind bars. Along with producer Kelsey Decker, King leads listeners on a unique and provocative true crime investigation featuring firsthand accounts from both Schofield and Scott themselves. With heartrending clarity and suspense, Bone Valley unearths new evidence in the case, exposing the catastrophic flaws in the American criminal justice system and documenting the story of these two men in their desperate search for truth and redemption. It's a return to Central Florida for King, whose New York Times-bestselling book, Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America, also took place in the region. His remarkably thorough research for that book led to the 2021 exonerations of the wrongly-accused men known as the Groveland Four. King has written about race, civil rights, and the death penalty for the New York Times, the Washington Post, and The Atlantic.“How does a man spend over three decades behind bars when there are layers of evidence pointing to his innocence?” asks King. “I hope this series answers that question, exposes how our court system got this case very wrong, and helps point to the truth for Leo, as well as for Michelle.” “This truly is a case like no other. Leo Schofield maintains his innocence as he sits behind bars for this murder, while Jeremy Scott confessed but was never charged for it,” said Jason Flom, founder and CEO of Lava for Good. “The state of Florida believes neither of them. We hope that by revealing the parallel narratives of these two men, we will finally expose the truth and bring about the justice that Leo has awaited for over three decades.”To listen to Bone Valley and the current slate of Lava for Good series, find them on all popular podcast platforms or visit www.lavaforgood.com to learn more.
