  1. These people should have that kid taken away

  2. So an older woman, in a position of power, who had a vested personal interest in pursuing an inappropriate and illegal relationship with a prisoner while she still worked there, and had connections within the system. Oh yeah, that sounds like such an incredibly reliable person to source any sort of information pertaining to guilt from. Guy just looks totally distraught talking about his wife’s literal murder.

  3. So did this lady help this guy break out of prison? I just want to know the rest of the story

  4. 👀Book smart but no commonsense.🤷🏾‍♀️

  5. A prisoner husband makes insecure women feel that they are in control and that he is not out there chasing other women because he is in jail. My opinion

  6. Every Person in Prison is Not Guilty& I do not his case history,but I would be very reluctant to get involved with a man in Prison.

  7. Dude has had more of a fuller life than some people who are "free' 🤔

  8. Date lawyers not thugs. Ugh. 🤦

  9. I think he is rehabilitated. He needs to be free

  10. The bigger and older the woman….the more desperation shows 🤷🤦 hormones are a MFer! Make a woman think they NEEEEED a man 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 dont forget ladies!!! LOVE IS THE LIE WE TELL OURSELVES SO WE DONT GO EXTINCT! thats is! Nothing more!!!! Love is an amazing and strong and scary feeling sometimes!! But thats all it is 🤷 a feeling! I like to give myself some time to let thoes feeling pass….my life is so much better after i learned how to do that….i would call my emotions, "passion" i would think of myself as passionate….turns out its just being STUPID 🤣

  11. 🤦🤦🤦 i dated a man that put a metal plate in his ex wifes head….i remember it was going good then he told me about it and the 8 years he spent in prison for it….i asked him why? And when he told me my subconscious dumped him right then and there…it may have took a few more weeks but thats the way it goes sometimes….
    Theres men out there….NOT IN PRISON….that have not gravely or mortally wounded the woman they claim to love…and if "bad boys" are just your thing? Theres men out there that fit that persona without hurting women 🤷

  12. Does anyone know how many more years that Leo has left in prison?

  13. Did he say being in jail was harder than being a parent? LOL

  14. She married a murderer!! Then they a adopted child WTF

  15. They let them adopt kids?!?!?! Wtf?!?!?!

  16. I wonder if this woman realizes how absolutely *Desperate* for love she appears?

  17. Hear me out, if there had been a man named Scott taking people to the area where Michelle was eventually found, maybe it was a well known thing around the community and the father went to check there after hearing the stories…. Idk. I need more information, bc all the timelines don’t really add up.

  18. Women don't just defend men unless they are sure he did it and if they knlw a man did it he says he is saved by Jesus only God in heaven is our judge Noone else its biblical "
    Forensic has proved beyond the shadow of the doubt leo didn't do it "
    Even relatives of the wife killed believes leo didn't do it "
    Forensic is not going to defend a guilty man "
    Forensic proved it was not leo "
    He was in the blue truck and she the wife took the red car 🚘 to go get gas why is it so impossible to believe a drug addict or crazy man approached her at the gas station that's what beggars do" " sociopath to pretend to be a cool trusting dude and the knife fell out when he reached for something " & she panicked"
    It's kinda saying women are dumb to love ❤️ & are not"
    A woman will accept if he did it or didn't or not sure and will not lie about it for him she researched 100s of hours Forensic reports too"
    Particular inmates say they are saved by Jesus "
    & we shouldn't judge that men cant repent "
    Also the ones that don't repent don't want Jesus in their life Atheists are men rude cruel men with rude cruel mean behaviour & women fall in love with them they like their looks they can't be married Noone wants to marry the women no men are attracted to her outside prison tje ones that are she isnt interested she wants a bad boy to love her "
    before the prison boyfriend no men were interested"
    The women meet the men in prison and women meet mean cruel atheist bad boy types outsode the world too happens outside of prison 🌎 and inside of prison who admit to be bad " they like the woman want the woman and say to the woman they love them"
    Lie & truth detectors are true"
    Will proove the innocence of leo "

  19. Leo needs to take a lie detector test maurey povich company or legit lie detector test company "
    And also there is so much proof they need forensic to help them proove leos innocence "
    The forensic really can close this case
    We the people need to make a bill become law that forensic evidence should be able to be used in a court of law a sort of FDA approved law for forensic
    I can't explain it any other way legitimate " law " accepted by the world "
    Certified law because forensic is true 👍 forensic is facts " & should be used in court of laws"

  20. So 90% of the inmates will say, they innocent.. That means all the guilty guys are out there. That's scary.

  21. I'm so excited for the help #DrOSABA rendered to me, I was cured from herpes virus with Dr use of Dr OSABA natural remedy, you can reach out to dr osaba on YouTube for more information

  22. So a gay couple struggle to adopt a baby yet it’s easy for a man in prison for murder can? Wow

  23. The fingerprints belong to a man named Scott who took girls to the same area she was found. He actually went to prison in 88 for killing a man. But the courts still denied Leo a retrial

  24. adopts. who? ok let me watch 😳 sooooo many questions

  25. Prisoners can be very manipulative to LONELY women.

  26. When did Angela divorce Michael,and when did she change her name,and is she still in that show ?This is very confusing.

  27. Epic thirsting 😳🤤

  28. Go see Matt Frazier and see if his wife comes to you

  29. There is a Convicted killer in jail who confessed to this crime, and his fingerprints were on the scene and yet this innocent man sits in jail three decades later. WHERE IS THE JUSTICE? Kim Kardashian or Susan Sarandon???? anyone??

  30. “When I would cry, he would just come get me and I would stop crying.” She had great memory as a baby. And don’t all babies do this at some point😂

  31. They keep saying it doesn't add up but not really saying why ..besides the fingerprint? Rlly come on .

  32. You never really know anyone but ya

  33. 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

  34. So she doesn't actually have a husband. She just has a story.

  35. This man is in prison a woman is interested in him of course he will change his story and say he is innocent.. some women think, the relationship was with that person NOT ME, IM DIFFERENT. This is the delusional thinking some women have because they think they can change the man and they are NOT like that other woman. The RED flag they miss is it’s not the other woman it’s the man who has the issues. People in prison what else do they have to do but wait for people to visit.. that is their WHOLE highlight of their week or month. People in prison will also act and talk different BECAUSE they do NOT have their freedom. Freedom you have any choice you want prison you ONLY have choices prison offers you. My friends daughter wanted to write someone in prison not sure why however, she started to visit a man in prison married him. she visited every week for 8 years. When he was released she was there waiting he was the ideal man like he was in prison for a few months AFTER he realized he was free he flipped he cheated with anybody he could find, he stopped going to work, he started to treat her bad and in 2 years he left her with a child. Most men in prison will treat any woman like their queen BECAUSE THAT IS ALL THEY have at that time. When they are free and have choices they most likely will do what they have done and the loyalty of that woman may not be included in their plans. This woman is ONLY HOLDING ON TO fingers prints what she refuses to believe is he confessed.. just because you have other finger prints may not lead to he is innocent. At this point she has blocked out anything BUT he is innocent because that is what she has built her life on and what she needs to keep going on.

  36. So f’ed up on so many levels. This man gets to murder his wife and not only get remarried, but also adopt a child?!!!!! At least she knows he can’t kill her too? What is wrong with this world

  37. 🙄 but only God him and the victim know the true story

  38. Where is the other episode why most people tell the whole story before others get a chance to watch it for themselves
