I still remember that day, just something I'll never forget.

It's 2018 and holds surprise winning author Gilbert King,

widely acclaimed for his writing about criminal justice reform,

is traveling to Naples, Florida.

Circuit judges in the state of Florida were having their annual conference

and they asked me to speak.

Was he begin speaking? I was very quickly blown away.

And all I can think about is if I have my way, he has no idea what he's in for.

I just remember sitting there and signing books and Judge Scott Cupp,

who I didn't know came up to me.

They take up my business card and I write Leo Scofield.

And handed me a card and I flipped it over.

And it said Leo Scofield had his Florida prison number and it said,

in quotes, not just wrongfully convicted.

He's an innocent man.

He starts telling me about Leo's story, how in February 1987,

when Leo Scofield was 21 years old, his 18-year-old wife Michelle was killed.

Leo was convicted of her murder.

Leo claimed he was innocent from day one and he still maintains his innocence.

And then he told me something that just absolutely shocked me.

He said there's another man who's forensically tied to the crime scene

who has confessed.
