Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Poetzer Prize winning author Gilbert King is here, the creator
of Bone Valley, the podcast in Bone Valley Season two,
which just dropped just a few days ago, and delving
into the wrongful conviction of Leo Schofield, convicted and sentenced
to twenty five years to life for the murder of
(00:26):
his eighteen year old wife at the time, Miss ship
Michelle Schofield, back in nineteen eighty seven. A key piece
of evidence which would then eventually exonerate Leo Schofield turns
up in Michelle's car fingerprints. Tell us about how these
(00:49):
were discovered.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, this is interesting, like when the police originally did
the investigation. You know, this is back before they have
a system called the Athis system.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Autumn, Sorry, are you going to hands free at your voice?
Speaker 3 (01:01):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:02):
There?
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Regular?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Can you actually?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Yeah? They were good.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Yeah. So in the original investigation they had, you know,
went over the car with you know, fingerprints, and they
found some fingerprints in there that did not match Leo. Uh,
they didn't match Michelle, they didn't match anybody who really
should have been They're just unidentified and you know, it's
interesting that that might have been one of the areas
where the police could have done a little bit more
(01:27):
with that, but they didn't have that APHIS system to
run it through the computer and find anybody. So these
fingerprints just sat there for seventeen years unidentified. Something interesting
happened while Leo was in prison. Several years into his sentence,
he met a social worker by the name of Christy
Carter who was teaching a life skills class, and Leo
(01:50):
was assigned to her and he became her aid, and
you know, eventually they got to know each other pretty well,
and Christy began to believe that Leo was innocent, and
so she spent her time away from work investigating his
case because Leo had no lawyer left, and so she
would go through all the files and the trial didn't
(02:11):
make any sense to her all that, but she was
always stuck on the idea that these fingerprints from inside
the car were never identified, and so in about two
thousand and four, she finally convinced. Now, this is to
keep this in mind, Leo has been in prison for
seventeen years, he has no appeals left. He's just going
to be a sentenced to life At this point, she
has a friend who's a police officer, and she convinces
(02:34):
the friend to run these fingerprints through the APHIS system
in two thousand and four, and this is you know,
reluctant detective with a sheriff's office says, fine, this will
keep Chrissy quiet. She was absolutely convinced Leo it must
have done it. She takes the card and she has
the fingerprints run through the system and they come back
(02:54):
and match a man who's sitting in prison for another murder.
And it turned out out he had lived just down
the road from where Michelle worked at the restaurant, so
he was in that area. He was a free man
at the time, roaming around the streets of Lakeland, and
his fingerprints show up inside this Mazda And when she
(03:17):
runs the report through, she sees this man's criminal record.
He's extraordinarily violent. He's out free at the same time
Michelle disappeared, and so they're just like, this is unbelievable.
This might be the evidence that gets Leo out of prison,
and so that starts a motion to get a new
evidentiary hearing. They look at this young man named Jeremy
Scott and try to understand why this man's fingerprints turned
(03:40):
up inside the car that Michelle was driving.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
And at some point, well this now gets into season
two of Bone Valley, Jeremy Scott confesses, how did that
come about?
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Well, you know, this is interesting because you have that prosecute,
Leo's prosecutor, who's still in the State Attorney's office at
the time. He's also the prosecutor that put Jeremy Scott
in prison for the rest of his life. So Leo
and Jeremy are now tied to this murder of Michelle Schofield.
And what's interesting is John Aguerrel, the prosecutor, brings Jeremy
(04:21):
Scott back into the county and interviews him in his
office with no witnesses present and no tape recorder, and
this comes out in the EVIDENTI aariry. Hearing that he
had nobody in there, he tried to lie and say
that a detective was in there with him, but the
detective put it in his report that he was on
vacation that week and that Aguero interviewed Jeremy by himself.
(04:45):
And so he goes into this office with Jeremy Scott,
the man he's convicted for another murder, and basically Jeremy
comes out of there and his story is now that, well, yeah,
there is a reason that my fingerprints were in the car.
I used to be a stereo thief, and you know,
bad luck for Leo that might I just happened to
be stealing stereo equipment the same night his wife disappeared.
(05:08):
And so that becomes the story that Jeremy takes into
that evident Charry hearing. He says, no, I didn't kill Michelle,
I'm just a stereo thief, and the judge buys it
and rejects Leo's attempt to get a new trial. What
ends up happening is that Jeremy says that he was
promised some help with his parole if he went along
(05:30):
with this story. And several years later, John Aguero passed away,
the prosecutor passed away, and Jeremy never got any help
with that parole, and he was angry about it. He
felt like he got tricked. And so seven years after
those fingerprints turned up, Jeremy Scott confessed to killing Michelle.
He said, I'm just going to tell the truth. That
(05:51):
guy spent into the rest of his life in prison.
I'm never getting out. I'm the one who killed Michelle Schofield,
and I can tell you exactly how he did it,
and he does. He does admit that to several people,
and that becomes cause for a new evidence you are
hearing in twenty seventeen.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
So how did the murder take place?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Then? Well, Jeremy says that he was homeless at the time.
He was walking down the street near his grandmother's trailer,
which was right where Michelle worked at Tom's restaurant. And
he said, it was drizzling out and I came upon
a payphone and I saw a woman making a payphone call,
(06:33):
and he walked over to her and she said, do
you need to use the phone, and he said, no,
I need a ride. And he says that she recognized him,
and he said, I didn't recognize her, but she recognized
me from the neighborhood, and I guess felt it was
okay to give this guy a ride. Maybe she saw
him at a party or something, and so he said, yeah,
I could use a ride going up to my grandmother's trailer,
(06:56):
and you know, it's raining out. She lets him inside
the car and instead of take leading her to his
grandmother's house, he leads her to this area called the Cut,
and it's right off the highway and it's where a lot.
It was like a lover's lane for teenagers back then
in Lakeland, Florida. And this is a place that Jeremy
was very familiar with. He used to take his girlfriends
(07:16):
back there. He leads her back there, and his story
is that as he gets back there, she says there's
no houses back here, and that's when he pulls a
knife and she starts to struggle and scream. She puts
the car and drive and she tries to take off.
He slams the car in the park and he says
she starts fighting back, and he says, I just lost it,
(07:38):
and she tries to get out of the car, and
Jeremy said, I stabbed her. I don't know how many times.
I wrapped her up in plastic and just dragged her
into the water and left her in the water. And
then I stole the car. And so what happened was
he did steal the car, and he got about six
miles up on the highway and the car had broken down,
(07:59):
and that's why Leah was Leo and the police were
able to find the car, but not Michelle, and they
never had an understanding or any kind of explanation as
to why that car was found on the side of
that highway. But Jeremy has the reason for that. He says,
I was driving it. The thing just broke down. I
got out, and he goes, I did steal the stereo,
but I also killed Leo's wife.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
And so as Jeremy Scott, the killer is approaching Michelle
at that moment, she is on the phone with her
husband saying, you know, I'm going to be home at
such and such a time.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
That was the call. Yeah, so we can place him
there at nine forty five And the gas station that
she made the phone call was closed at the time,
but Leo and Michelle did not have a phone in
their trailer that they lived in, so they would often
drive to that gas station and use the payphone there,
and that's where she ran into Jeremy Scott. And you know,
it's interesting, Richard, because I look back at this case
(08:56):
and you know, there's there's all sorts of holes, and
you know, the prosecutor very misleading, misrepresents a lot of
the evidence. But one of the things that always really
bothered me looking into it is that there's several hours
that go by between that ninety five pm phone call
until you know, Alice Scott, the neighbor, says she sees
(09:17):
Leo carrying something heavy out in those three hours, nobody
has seen Michelle. She's not seen anywhere. She's no friends
have said, yeah, she was having a fight with Leo,
but I knew where she was. Nothing. There's not a
single witness who can account for her. Jeremy Scott is
the only person who can account for Michelle within those
(09:37):
three hours when she was missing. And so that really
always stuck out to me, like you can't find one
single witness what was she doing in those three hours
when she said she was going to be on her
way over to see Leo. So Jeremy's explanation always made
a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 2 (09:53):
So, despite Jeremy Scott's confession, Leo's go field continues to
languish in prison.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Why you know, this is the most staggering thing about it,
and it's just hard to understand how this is possible.
But after Jeremy Scott confessed, you know, Jeremy Scott first
of all has like a seventy something I Q he's
got brain damage. He's an extraordinary violent person. When they
(10:23):
brought him back on the stand the second time, he
was off his meds. He was, you know, in a
psych cell awaiting this hearing. So it was just a
very disorienting position for me. Hadn't slept, he'd been beaten
up by police inside the jail, and he was very
agitated when he got in there to testified. But he
still admitted that he killed Michelle. But on cross examination,
(10:45):
the prosecute just really went after him and said, you
don't tell the truth, do you, Jeremy, And she basically
just beat him over the head with how many times
he said in the last hearing that he didn't kill Michelle,
And he said, now you're changing, worry now you say
you did kill Michelle. And it goes back and forth
like this, and they just sort of the state was
(11:06):
just really trying to undermine Jeremy's credibility as a confessor.
And one of the most you know, I think the
most damning parts of the entire evidentiary hearing was the
prosecutor took out a picture of Michelle from her autopsy
and showed put it right in front of Jeremy's face
and he says, is this She says, is this what
(11:28):
you did to her? And he looks at it and
he has the kind of reaction that you know, like
when detectives take out the autopsy photos and show it
to the suspect that he doesn't want to look at it,
and he turns his head away and he says, I've
seen it before, and she says, see it again. Is
this what you did to her? And he says, no,
I didn't do that, and the prosecutor used that line,
(11:52):
no I didn't do that, to say that, oh, he
recanted again. Now he's saying he didn't do it, and
that's how she did her closing argument, and the judge
went along with it and said that Jeremy doesn't have
any credibility because he lied previously and that he recanted
on the stand when he never recanted on the stand.
If you go back and look at the redirect in
(12:12):
the testimony. Once Leo's lawyers got back up there, he
just admitted again. He said, yeah, I killed her. And
that was always perplexing, like why did they use that
sentence no I didn't do that as some kind of recantation,
And that was the thing that always bothered me. And
it wasn't until I finally had a chance to ask
Jeremy about it myself.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
You said, the justice system delivers verdicts, not truth. I mean,
what role do ego, politics and reputation play in the
refusal to admit error?
Speaker 3 (12:47):
I mean, I think that's a great, big part of it.
You know, a lot of these prosecutors that their job
is to seek justice, not win convictions, and you know
they're supposed to be ethical in the pursuit of these
and when you look at this case, you just see,
you know, one unethical thing after another, you know, taking
the man, the witness whose fingerprints show up in the car,
(13:09):
somebody you've convicted and sentenced to prison in life for life,
and you've also convicted Leo Scofield. Somebody from that office
should have say, hey, maybe this is a conflict, maybe
you want to get somebody else in there. But this guy,
John Aguero, I'm absolutely convinced, was in there to protect
his own conviction of Leo Schofield by manipulating Jeremy Scott
in a closed door meeting with no witnesses, no tape recorder.
(13:33):
No nobody should ever do that, No office should ever
approve of something like that, and this just happens time
and time again. It's about protecting the conviction. A lot
of times, these prosecutors have their eyes on judgeship. They
don't want a black mark of a wrongful conviction hanging
over them. And you know, you might be able to
get away with this in a small rural county, like
(13:54):
a real law and order county, where there isn't as
much scrutiny from the media as maybe you might get
in Miami or Tampa or Jacksonville. And so I think
this office was used to getting away with things like this.
And it's true they've had a couple other wrongful convictions,
but from the same time. But yeah, it plays a
(14:14):
really big role. And again I don't think it was
really anything the police we're doing, other than you know,
a little bit of an incompetence. It was really this
prosecutor who was really protecting Leo's conviction and willing to
bend the rules and the law to do it.

you want to get somebody else in there. But this guy,
John Aguero, I'm absolutely convinced, was in there to protect
his own conviction of Leo Schofield by manipulating Jeremy Scott
in a closed door meeting with no witnesses, no tape recorder.
(13:33):
No nobody should ever do that, No office should ever
approve of something like that, and this just happens time
and time again. It's about protecting the conviction. A lot
of times, these prosecutors have their eyes on judgeship. They
don't want a black mark of a wrongful conviction hanging
over them. And you know, you might be able to
get away with this in a small rural county, like
(13:54):
a real law and order county, where there isn't as
much scrutiny from the media as maybe you might get
in Miami or Tampa or Jacksonville. And so I think
this office was used to getting away with things like this.
And it's true they've had a couple other wrongful convictions,
but from the same time. But yeah, it plays a
(14:14):
really big role. And again I don't think it was
really anything the police we're doing, other than you know,
a little bit of an incompetence. It was really this
prosecutor who was really protecting Leo's conviction and willing to
bend the rules and the law to do it.
