John Aguero, Jerry Hill, Brian Haas, Jack Edmund, Victoria Avalon, Keith Spoto, Kevin Abdoney, Suzie Schottelkotte, me, you - we're all guilty. Leo Schofield is not. We're torturing him for that.
For those thinking "what can I do right now," here is a link to a petition on change.org asking for Leo's case to be transferred to a Conviction Integrity Unit for independent review. https://chng.it/gXgYbxKcYQ
'Bone Valley' is the most important podcast I have ever heard. It should be required listening for every Floridian. The criminal "justice" system is irreparably broken in Florida. Credible estimates are that at least 20% of the inmates in Florida's prisons are innocent of the crimes that sent them there. Leo Schofield case may be the most clearly egregious, but it is far from singular. I imagine that this is why most Florida prosecutors refuse to ever admit to any mistakes. They fear that if that dam were to leak even a little, the resulting flood of actual justice would consume them. It certainly should.
Thanks Cyndi. I wasn’t aware of that.
