In 1987, Leo Schofield was arrested & charged with the murder of his wife, Michelle. Always insistent on his innocence, he was poorly served by his legal defense: the investigation was sloppy, the case flimsy, & numerous pieces of evidence were ignored. He was sentenced to life in prison. Over thirty years later, Gilbert King is tipped off to Leo's case & is astonished by what he found: layers of corruption, flawed evidence, & deep-seated errors. He can't shake the story & starts to get to know Leo & his family. Leo shows an incomprehensible amount of grace & love about his situation, which spurs Gilbert even more to tell his story. 'Bone Valley' is at once a revelatory investigation into a murder, a chilling portrait of the criminal justice system, & a uniquely powerful story of grace & redemption.
