This podcast is an incredible, comprehensive look into our Justice system and how easy it is for a couple people for whatever reason, to ruin innocent lives. There are systematic failures all over the country that deserve their stories told exactly like this. Every single bit of this story is devastating, but desperately needs to be heard. People in this country need to understand the failures at all levels that not just lead to the conviction of Leo, but also the failures that lead to the murder of Michelle. The failures that create humans like Jeremy, which is just as devastating and so important. Also how important it is for the education of the regular citizen of their rights, of how the system works in case they are ever sitting in jail waiting on a court date. I would say a vast majority would think paying such a hefty price for a layer would ensure competent council, but this story shows that’s also not true. Listen, listen to every episode, really pay attention. You will come to the same conclusion as all of us, and please sign the petition in the episode notes. Leo deserves any years left, free with his family. The people of polk county deserve JA cases heavily looked into as well, because if this was standard practice for him, Leo is not even remotely close to being the only innocent man imprisoned.
