Do you think Bryan Stevenson at Equal Justice Initiative can help Leo? I know the Innocence Project are working on the case, but Bryan has gotten so many men exonerated for crimes that they did not commit but were found guilty of anyway.

Thank you. Yes, I have tried to stay in touch with Jeremy, but it has been difficult because he is frequently disciplined and placed in Close Management (solitary confinement) for long periods of time. He’s also transferred a lot to different institutions, and he loses privileges, like access to inmate email services. But I did receive a letter from him last week, telling me he was back in Close Management.

I've been thinking about the original prosecutor and his behavior - is there anything that can be reviewed to determine if there is/was "prosecutorial misconduct"?

And I really feel like the retired dude going in to speak at Leo's parole hearings is offensive. He doesn't even know the case!

(although after this most recent election, Florida may just be a lost cause to anyone who is reasonable....)

Now that we know the upheaval occurring in the Polk County S.O. It helps me understand why so many investigative errors or omissions occurred. Example, tire tracks, blood in the sand, Mazda 6 miles north on I-4 (why did it take someone other than authorities to see it and know it was part of a missing person case). I wonder what Joe Zarbo thinks about this?Eespecially since he was there the day Michelle was found. Did he talk to you about that day when you spoke with him?

Listening to the podcast was a very emotional experience. Phenomenal storytelling. Leos also a compelling character himself and he oozes a level of confidence and self-assurance that is really inspiring.

Do you think you could utilize more compelling marketing platforms such as TikTok / reels and have Leo tell his story in short-form to try and garner more attention?

Where did Jeremy meet Michelle Schofield. Does the State Attorney of his associate namely Arguero have power over Sheriff to call of an investigation like the one conducted on the taxi cab driver who Jeremy’s former girlfriend said he confessed to killing?

Just an observation. The letter you received from Jeremy was written in pretty clear cursive. It just crossed my mind that someone who did not finish high school might not be able to write so well. Any comments?

I live in Lakeland. Around that time I actually lived down the Road at the corner of Scumbee and Saddle Creek Rd. I don’t trust anything that happened in the sheriffs office Around the time of Dan Daniels. The proverbial snake rots from the head, calling him a snake insult to snakes. Things haven’t changed as much as people like to pretend. One of our councilman (until he was arrested for murder) has deep white nationalist ties. With that said, is there anything that local people could do to help? I work in Tv/film production and have a studio in Orlando.

Hi! Thank you for the work on the case and the podcast!

  1. What information is the most difficult for people to understand or visualize?Contradicting timelines and evidence / The complete bungling of the case itself / Separating the real story from the one that convicted Leo Schofield / etc
  2. Is there canon around which cases have successfully passed through this Conviction Integrity Unit?
