And listen, this is the story. It

0:03

is what it is. You believe it. Don't

0:05

believe it. It's up to you. it will

not change the fact that I'm an innocent

In February nineteen eighty seven,

0:19

Leo Schofield's eighteen year old wife,

0:21

Michelle, went missing. They

0:24

have to has my

0:27

fears. Yes.

0:29

I need to talk to somebody about finding

0:33

my wife. very worried about it. I

0:35

couldn't find out how much. Three

0:37

days later, Michelle was found

0:39

stabbed to death off a freeway in

0:41

Lakeland, Florida. Shouldn't

0:43

it be your responsibility to investigate?

0:45

No. Wait minute. We have investigated this

0:47

thing upside down. No

0:50

physical evidence connected Leo Schofield

0:52

to the crime. And he said, I'm gonna put

0:54

you in the electric chair. And I said,

0:56

that's what you're gonna have to do, but

0:58

I'm not gonna say something

1:01

that's not true. At twenty two years

1:03

old, Leo is convicted for his wife's

1:05

murder and sentenced to life in prison.

1:08

Leo's Goldfield. is a

1:10

cold blooded murderer. And if I have

1:12

my way, he'll never get out of prison.

1:15

But after Leo's conviction, there

1:17

were still so many unanswered questions.

1:19

Always. Always. The

1:22

fingerprints was a big question in

1:24

my mind. Obviously, somebody was in

1:26

the car. Somebody knew something. Who

1:28

was it? What did they know? So I took

1:30

the fingerprint, and I'm like,

1:32

alright. Who does it come back to? and

1:35

he said a guy named Jeremy Scott.

1:37

Jeremy Scott. Who the fuck's Jeremy Scott?

1:39

Grandma. Has anybody

1:41

come talk to you? About what?

1:43

murder. Murder? Murder. Despite

1:46

new evidence pointing to Jeremy Scott,

1:49

Leo Schofield is still in prison. He's

1:51

been locked up for the last thirty

1:54

four years. You

1:56

or somebody like you, it is

1:58

Leo's last

1:59

shot. I would just really like

2:02

for both. Who did it? I want you guys

2:04

to find the truth. You know what I mean? And can

2:06

leave this world knowing that at least it was

2:08

solved. I'm

2:10

Gilbert King, a Pulitzer Prize

2:13

winning author, and I've spent the last

2:15

four years investigating this case with

2:17

researcher Kelsey Decker. Together,

2:20

we set out to uncover the truth

2:22

behind the conviction of Leo Schofield,

2:25

but we would soon learn that Michelle's

2:28

Goldfield's murder was just the tip of the iceberg,

2:31

as our investigation pulled us down

2:33

into the much darker world of

2:36

Jeremy Scott, Don't judge

2:38

me. Do you hear the

2:40

whole story? in
