Today, Leo Schofield, who was wrongfully convicted of murder in Central Florida more than three decades ago, was denied parole and instead the parole board recommended he be transferred to the Everglades Re-Entry Center, where he will remain until his next opportunity for parole. The board agreed to reconsider parole in 12 months. The decision was made during a parole hearing held this morning in Tallahassee, where Schofield's case was reviewed.
Schofield's case has received extensive coverage from both local and international press following the launch of the award-winning Bone Valley podcast, which put it in the national spotlight last year. The Lava for Good podcast, written and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Gilbert King and co-host Kelsey Decker, uncovered overwhelming evidence of Schofield's innocence and delivered detailed confessions from the actual killer of Leo’s wife Michelle.
The evidence, including previously unidentified fingerprints from Michelle's car, matched Jeremy Scott,...

On May 3, a long-awaited parole hearing will take place in Tallahassee, Florida, to determine if Leo Schofield will finally be released from prison after being wrongfully convicted of murder more than three decades ago.
In 1987, Leo, then 21 years old, was devastated when his teenage wife Michelle was found dead in a phosphate mining pit in Lakeland, Florida. Two years later, Leo was convicted and sentenced to life in prison, where he has remained despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence unearthed and revealed on the Lava for Good podcast Bone Valley by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Gilbert King and producer Kelsey Decker — evidence pointing to Michelle’s actual killer.
Fifteen years after Leo’s conviction, previously unidentified fingerprints from Michelle’s car matched Jeremy Scott — a troubled teen with an extensive history of violence who lived near the young couple at the time. Scott has since confessed to Michelle’s murder a number of times,...
