The Sound of Pursuit: Gilbert King’s “Bone Valley”
Hal hosts author Gilbert King, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning book, “Devil in the Grove,” led to the exonerations of four Black men falsely accused of rape in 1949. King is also writer, producer, and host of “Bone Valley,” a new true-crime podcast that uncovers astonishing details of the wrongful murder conviction of Leo Schofield — and evidence pointing to the real killer. It’s riveting storytelling and dogged reporting, a powerful combination. King spoke with Hal about reinvestigating cold cases and what it means to him to illuminate injustice — on behalf of Schofield and others.
