Reply to comment by piceathespruce in I'm Gilbert King, a Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative author & host of the podcast Bone Valley. My co-host/assistant, Kelsey, and I have been investigating the murder of Michelle Schofield. We believe her husband was wrongfully convicted. Ask us anything. by lavaforgood
Your comments are disgusting. As a survivor of sexual violence, you don't speak for me. I commend Kelsey and Gilbert for the work they've done, and I find your incessant need to prove how much 'better' more 'empathetic' you are repulsive. Is your only sense of self-worth coming from Reddit forums? Go touch some grass.
No one ever said Leo was a good person. Leo himself doesn't say that. The first fucking episode spends a lot of time talking about his flaws and his shortcomings. "Innocent" does not mean 100% clean - it means he was innocent of killing his wife, an act he never committed.
"Brush off" - I'm sorry, were they supposed to dedicate a whole fucking season to this? You do realize that's not the story here, right? Or are you blinded by your own arrogance to think that what you deem is important must be the focus of the story, else these people are heartless monsters with no empathy? Maybe you didn't listen to the countless of hours spent empathizing with Michelle, or the pain they felt as they got closer and closer to her killer.
No, forget about her murder! Let's talk about the times she was abused by her husband. Let's dismiss the times he's repented for that. Let's forget Leo's growth. Let's focus on a part of the story, and then make the people who are trying to get an innocent man out of jail feel like shit because they didn't focus on his flaws enough.
How dare you claim that they don't have empathy for Michelle. You speak with the authority of someone who knows these people as well as Gilbert and Kelsey do, and it translates to blatant, revolting arrogance.
I'm seriously appalled that someone with such little skills in comprehension could figure out how to type a sentence, regardless of how deluded it is.
You are the moral equivalent of a leech. On a good day, you're a half-wit.
I hope you have the day you deserve.
