Who is Gilbert King?
Gilbert King is an American author and journalist. He is best known for his book "Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America," which won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 2013. The book focuses on the events surrounding a 1949 case in Florida involving four black men who were wrongfully accused of rape and the role that Thurgood Marshall played in their defense.
Gilbert King, the podcast host of Bone Valley, is focused on vindicating Leo Schofield, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife Michelle over 30 years ago
How can an journalist help --Like Gilbert?
Investigative journalists play a crucial role in uncovering and exposing wrongful convictions. They do this by:
- Investigating and reporting on cases where there is evidence of wrongful convictions, such as flawed evidence, coerced or false testimony, or misconduct by law enforcement.
- Bringing attention to these cases and making them more visible to the public, which can lead to increased pressure on the criminal justice system to rectify the situation.
- Working with lawyers and other experts to uncover new evidence, re-examine old evidence, and bring to light previously unknown facts about the case.
- Providing a platform for individuals who have been wrongly convicted to tell their stories and raise awareness about the flaws in the criminal justice system.
Investigative journalism has been instrumental in helping to secure exonerations and bring justice to individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. It helps to keep the criminal justice system accountable and ensure that the rights of the accused are protected.

Stop living paycheck to paycheck-stop asking for less than you are worth and start calling your shots and improving your life by 2000%.
We, as professionals, are often chained to the golden handcuffs that corporate America has to offer. You know the scenario, we can't leave our jobs because of security, benefits, and a steady paycheck. Yet the majority of Americans are miserable strapped to their desk and limiting their potential.
In today's episode meet John Cerasani:

Business Expert John Cerasani Launches “2000 Percent Raise” Podcast.John Cerasani’s story is about a self-made man who has found enormous success with multiple business endeavors. The title of the podcast is a nod to a pivotal point in his journey where he left corporate America to work for himself. By putting himself on top of the Org Chart, he was able to not only reap the benefits of increased pay; but also build equity for himself... Not for others. The podcast promises to discuss various lessons he learned along the way, and have an extreme financial focus. All while encouraging listeners to elevate their game and grow.
John built an insurance company from his kitchen table after taking the leap and quitting his job at Arthur J. Gallagher. He was in his late 20’s and also found himself honored with 40 under 40 accolades shortly thereafter. Not even 10 years later, he sold that company into Private Equity for an undisclosed multiple. This building of wealth put him in a position to help entrepreneurs with not only capital infusion, but also business advisement and expertise.
