Bone Valley: ‘Why is Leo Schofield still in jail?’

What this episode covers

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.
