The book and podcast tells a true story of injustice and redemption in the heart of Florida-- in 1988, Leo Schofield was arrested and charged with the murder of his wife, Michelle-- a murder he did not commit. Leo served more than 30 years, and was ultimately released on parole. He has yet to be exonerated despite another man confessing to killing Michelle Schofield.
