Kevin is Next - Part I

LAVA FOR GOOD PODCASTS
About this episode

Leo Schofield walked out of prison wearing a shirt that read “Kevin is next.” For Leo, that wasn’t a slogan—it was a promise to the man who had shared his cell for decades, a friend he believed to be innocent. This episode traces Leo’s bond with Kevin Herrick and the years they spent fighting side by side, even as the courts shut them out. Now, with Leo free, Kevin’s case draws new attention from Georgetown’s Making an Exoneree program, where law student Nick White and Dr. Amanda Lewis begin peeling back the layers of a case that has never added up.

Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1.
