This episode explores the 1987 murder of Michelle Schofield and the wrongful conviction of her husband, Leo. Despite no physical evidence linking him to the crime, Leo was sentenced to life. Years later, fingerprints from the crime scene matched a convicted murderer who confessed to Michelle's killing. Despite the confession, courts repeatedly rejected it. The episode details the tireless efforts of Leo's wife and the Innocence Project of Florida to free him, culminating in his parole after 36 years, and his shocking conversation with the man who admitted to killing Michelle.
