Leland's Complication During Birth; Umbilical Cord Stuck In His Neck
Leland had to go through complications while he was in his mother's womb. When the doctors examined them, they found that the umbilical cord was stuck in his neck, so after some serious discussion, they concluded that they have to do a C-section surgery to remove the umbilical cord.
As a result, the doctors had to deliver the child artificially to save the mother and baby. Though he survived a major scare and was born as a healthy baby, he was left unable to speak. This incident seriously affected his parents. After much medical counseling, doctors consoled Leland's parents that he would recover slowly. After he turned three years old, he began to utter words and now he is in a profession where speaking is quite in demand.
This surprised the doctors because according to them there was a minimum chance of survival for both of them. The doctors, then, called him Lucky and since then he gained a pet name, Lucky.
Nominated For Emmy
Leland was nominated for an Emmy award in 2006 when he covered a case in which police officer Bishop was accused of raping and killing a girl. Later, it was revealed the cop was not guilty and he gained his position back.
Moreover, he also covered the news where the United States government wasted $25 million to construct a bridge to the nowhere land. As a result, the taxpayer's money was wasted in vain. This coverage also added him to the nomination list for the Emmy Award in the same year.
Nevertheless, his good deeds don't end here. On January 4, 2007, on the show "friend zone", Leland along with his co-host, Tucker Carlson, talked about an incident in Israel. He said during his time in the war zone, he met a woman who was a failed suicide bomber.
After that, when Leland interviewed her, he came to know that some group of Israeli terrorists brainwashed her and convinced her that if she gets away with this evil deed, blessings from heaven will be bestowed upon her.
Luckily, when she pulled the trigger, the bomb didn't go off and immediately after that, she was arrested by the police. The woman was then sent to prison where later she changed her path and became a speaker against hate crimes.
