Chapter 8 | Bondage to the Law

In Season 1 of Bone Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a story of a man, Leo Schofield, fighting to prove his innocence in the case of his wife Michelle&rsquo;s murder.
In Season 2, &ldquo;JEREMY&rdquo; Gilbert King brings us a story about her actual killer, Jeremy Scott, fighting to prove his guilt. The State of Florida does not believe either man.
Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY is a new story about a new case. Maggie Freleng, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the hosts of Lava For Good&rsquo;s Wrongful Conviction, takes us to a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, where a terrible discovery on the front lawn of a middle school invites a string of amateur and professional investigators to try to solve a murder.
Bone Valley Season 4 | EARWITNESS chronicles the case of Toforest Jonhson. In 1995, Deputy Sheriff William G. Hardy was murdered behind a hotel in Birmingham, Alabama. Toforest Johnson was four miles away at the time and no physical evidence linked him to the crime. But he has been on Death Row for 25 years.
From the team behind Bone Valley, Lava for Good&rsquo;s 8-episode docuseries Earwitness follows journalist Beth Shelburne&rsquo;s dogged investigation into a story filled with disturbing twists and shocking admissions, leading her to ask &ndash; and answer - this vexing question: &ldquo;How did an innocent man end up on Alabama&rsquo;s death row - and why is he still there, when even the prosecutor who put him there says he should get a new trial?&rdquo;
