The state fought back, though, saying that Jeremy was a liar who had told various different stories and that he'd been off his medication when he wrote his latest letter.

And then when he was shown pictures of Michelle's body during the hearing, Jeremy exclaimed, I didn't do that.

It's hard to know what he means by this, because by the end of the hearing, he was still saying that he had killed her.

But for the judges, it wasn't enough.

And again, a new trial for Leo was denied.

I mean, I think he's, as you said, haunted by all of the things he's done.

And decades later, being shown a picture of it probably sets off all sorts of things.

That is the reason.

So Leo's attorney turned his focus to parole.

It wouldn't exonerate him, but it would at least get him out of prison.

And after 20 years, Leo was desperate.

He and Chrissie had got married and even adopted a baby girl who had been in her 20s by the time Jeremy Scott confessed.

By this point, she had children of her own.

Inside, Leo had been a model prisoner, and ahead of his parole hearing, he even got a letter from Jesse, Michelle's brother.

Jesse asked for it to be read out at the hearing.

It said that he supported Leo's parole because he had no confidence in the case against him.

This letter was not read out.

And Leo was denied parole because he didn't show remorse, which you can't do if you're innocent.

I'm sorry.
