How can a justice system allow an innocent man to remain in prison?<br />Bone Valley explores that maddening question and so much more.<br /><br />What a thrill to conclude our series on WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS today with Gilbert King, the host of my favorite podcast this year, BONE VALLEY. Gilbert is also the Pulitzer prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove. HE has written two other NYT best-selling books and his work covers race, crime, and justice in America.<br /><br />If you have already listened to BoneValley then you’ll leave hearing some of Gilbert’s behind-the-scenes discussion about the making of the show, and if you have not yet listened then you’ll also love hearing his passion and conviction for this nearly unbelievable story.<br /><br />BONE VALLEY OVERVIEW<br />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.<br /><br />+ Learn more about Gilbert’s work, including his three books, here. <br /> <a href="http://www.gilbertking.com/" rel="noopener">http://www.gilbertking.com/</a><br />+ Follow him on twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/gilbert_king" rel="noopener">https://twitter.com/gilbert_king</a><br />+ Sign the petition to have Leo’s case reviewed by the Conviction Integrity unit for an <br /> independent review. <a href="https://www.change.org/p/transfer-leo-schofield-s-case-to-a-" rel="noopener">https://www.change.org/p/transfer-leo-schofield-s-case-to-a-</a> <br /> conviction-integrity-unit-for-independent-review<br /><br />If you like DIE-ALOGUE, here is how you can support the show:<br />Subscribe/follow on your podcast app - make sure you get new episodes downloaded!<br />Leave a five star rating and review on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you listen!<br />Rate on Apple: <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/die-alogue-a-true-crime-conversation/id1470890320" rel="noopener">https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/die-alogue-a-true-crime-conversation/id1470890320</a><br />Follow the show share it on Instagram and Twitter and tag @diealoguepresents<br />Become a DIE-HARD on Patreon and receive early, ad-free + bonus episodes! <a href="https://www.patreon.com/creator-home" rel="noopener">https://www.patreon.com/creator-home</a>
