	Yeah, this is my notebook.
	I have three whole pages of media.
	Yeah, they were like, uh, oh yo, this is better than the other girls.
	There'll be pimballs.
	They don't add anything to the show.
	I don't know what's a bimbo.
	You don't know what a bimbo is?
	No.
	Uh that's what you are.
	Anyway, uh, no, you ain't a bimbo.

	But either way, uh yeah, but no, real all talk all jokes aside.
	She works really hard behind the scenes.
	She helps me out.
	She researches the cases.
	Um, she actually is the one that told me about this case, and then I went back and looked at some of the chats, and a lot of you guys were like, yo, uh, do the grand motto case, do the grand motto case.
	And I didn't know who it was.
	And then when I actually looked into it, I was like, holy, this guy's the biggest simp I've ever seen ever.
	So um, yeah, guys, this this this episode is gonna teach y'all why being a simp can have dire consequences.
	But uh yeah, we're gonna I got a uh documentary that we're gonna react to here and uh stop and you know give you guys some breakdowns or whatever.
	I hit some of these chats real fast.
	We got uh Nick Crowell goes, what music would you recommend for some someone getting into EDM?
	That doesn't make sense.
	Music is the EDM is music.
	I'm confused.
	Uh Let's see here.
	And then we got um I was gonna ask what's EDM.
	Oh, uh electronic dance music.
	Uh and then we got uh Michael Meestruck, one dollar.
	Thank you so much, my friend.
	I appreciate that.
	You guys don't have to donate a dollar to the show.
	The only thing I asked.
	Oh, sir, uh three diggers, super sticker, 50 bucks.
	I appreciate that so much, man.
	Dom Domonco.
	You guys don't have to donate a dollar to the stream, man.
	The only thing I ask guys is uh like the video, right?
	Subscribe to the channel, and uh yeah, share it with a friend.
	Hey Mario, I just want to say thank you for all your hard work uh to put out these amazing breakdowns, keep up the great work.
	Yeah, man.
	I I noticed that a lot of you guys like this true crime stuff, and I figured you know what?
	I have experience in it.
	You guys enjoy it.
	It's a pretty good genre, and uh gives you guys a little bit of uh break from the monotony of me debating annoying ass girls all day.
	Um Kenneth uh uh in night in Yama goes best concert creator out here, love the work, man.
	I appreciate that, my friend.
	I try to be diversified for y'all.
	Um so Angie, anything you want to say before we get into this thing?
	No, this case is just great.
	Yeah, it's crazy though.
	So you guys be advice.
	Yeah, so shout out to her because she's actually the one that texted me this and saying I think your people would really like this.
	So shout out to her.
	I'll give you a Don DeMarco.
	Don Domaco.
	She's the one that actually said, Um, I think your audience would really enjoy this.
	Uh this this guy because he's uh he's a simp, and it also covers true crime stuff.
	So I was like, all right, cool.
	I love true crimes.
	Do you haven't mentioned your book, by the way?
	Oh, yes, why women deserve less, which is actually a big part of the reason we're a little late here.
	Um, Angie didn't hook uh connect the headphones properly, and we were trying to figure that out the whole time.
	And then when I connected it, it worked.
	It's just I can't hear it that well because I have I'm wearing my book at hat tonight.
	Okay, yeah.
	It has to flavor.
	Yeah, why women deserve less book coming very soon on Valentine's Day, and she's a part of the reason.
	But anyway, guys, without further ado, we got a uh oh, and then Z. With all due respect to Anhelika, we gotta have some masculine burnt chocolate 304s in honor of Black History Month.
	No, I'm good, bro.
	You can have all the chocolate you want.
	I don't want any.
	Late night entertainment, good timing.
	All right, and then Yankee to L, two bucks, and then uh Tyrone H, when will you do a gift slash package opening for FNF?
	Uh uh I guess maybe in the future.
	Don't follow and helica.
	Stay strong, brother.
	Thank you, Mario for the fire cuts of hella entertaining.
	Whatever you do, uh well, she's not a webcam girl, so never mind.
	But yeah, guys, don't don't don't ever go ahead and uh be a uh uh, you know, after this episode, you're you're don't donate money to a webcam girl ever again.
	Darren Sonia, North College.
	Only find counts.
	What was that?
	Does OnlyFans counts?
	Like Yeah, I would say OnlyFans is like the next iteration.
	Yeah.
	Um, and then North Hollywood shootout, hella crazy.
	They had body armor and rob a bank in Los Angeles, the reason a lot of police carry assault rifle.
	You know what, dude?
	Um that shootout?
	It's actually very interesting.
	When was this?
	Back in the late 90s in uh in uh LA, they robbed the bank and they got in like a full-on shootout with the police.
	It was either Los Angeles or Las Vegas, I forget where, but it was it was a while ago.
	But it was crazy.
	It's like the reason why police nowadays have AR-15s and stuff like that.
	It's actually one of those like cases that like change police precedent.
	The 80s, you said late 90s, I think like 97.
	Oh, okay.
	I might cover that for y'all because I did the Miami shootout for you guys.
	You guys asked me for that one, and that case shootout, you guys should watch it's in the documentary breakdowns.
	That is the reason why um police nowadays carry semi-automatic pistols versus revolvers.
	Um, because they were, you know, a bunch of FBI agents got killed um during a shootout here in Miami back in 1986, I want to say.
	So anyway, but without further ado, guys, we're gonna go ahead and react to uh this documentary here.
	And this is from This Is Monsters, right?
	Show them some love, subscribe, like the video, right?
	And we're gonna go ahead and react to this thing.
	Uh episode three, or well, season three, episode eight, Grant Amato.
	Okay.
	Uh, let me enlarge this for y'all.
	And then Salamaki, shout out uh from Australia, brother.
	Keep doing the work you do.
	Thank you.
	Appreciate that, my friend.
	All right, so we're gonna get right into this thing.
	Uh Angie, anything before we get into it?
	No.
	Okay.
	All right, cool.
	Let's do it.
	Grant Amato had been struggling to get his life back on track after a pretty rough year when his family with that hair.
	Uh that's definitely a rough year.
	Holy guys, that would be me right now.
	Uh that'll be me right now if it weren't for you know the hair transplant, which by the way, just so y'all know, I'm streaming live on uh Twitch, right?
	And YouTube, guys, because you never know.
	Hopefully, they don't stop the stream in the middle because I'm reacting to a video.
	Y'all know how sometimes the copyright crap goes.
	So uh let's keep going.
	Members began working to cut Him off from the love of his life, he chose to do whatever it took to spend more time with her.
	This is Monsters.
	Monsters.
	Somebody said he got the Uncle Phil.
	Ha ha ha!
	Ha ha!
	Bye.
	Thank you.
	you Thank you.
	Grant Amato was one of three sons of Chad and Margaret Amato.
	He looks like a Chad.
	You see that?
	Yeah.
	When the parents met.
	Yeah, mustache.
	Yeah, mustache.
	Margaret already had a three-year-old son named Jason, and after the couple married, Chad adopted Jason, and he officially became an Amato.
	Jason said during his testimony that he didn't remember a life without Chad being his father.
	He said that he was a very stern, very particular person.
	Everything was in its place, straight and tucked in.
	If he was going to have a serious discussion with someone, he would make a list in one color, then make notes with another color while talking to the person.
	Jason says that his father could get overly angry, but he had never seen him be physically abusive to anyone in the house.
	All right.
	Make a note of that, guys, that the father is a very organized and structured guy.
	OK, this is going to come back.
	Yeah, he's fairly strict as well.
	So you guys are gonna see that this is gonna play a role later on.
	Chad was a pharmacist who worked in a conventional pharmacy role before he started working for a call center where people, such as doctors or other pharmacists, would call in to get pharmacy instructions.
	Chad was described as being very focused on the future and what he worked for, and he was stressed about the cost of a second home they owned in Tennessee.
	Chad had so just off rip right now, you guys can tell that uh, you know, these guys are probably upper middle class, he's a pharmacist, and then he went on to being like kind of a consultant at a call center for pharmacy, so he's probably earning somewhere between you know uh high eighties to 130, 140,000 per year.
	I would I would, you know, that's typically what a pharmacist would make, so I'm assuming he's probably in that range somewhere.
	Um, and he has a family.
	And he's also Florida, which Florida guys, um, there's no Sandicum tax here, so that money would go a lot further than let's say a New York City or San Francisco or Camifornia, whatever it may be.
	So we have an idea of where they are from a socioeconomic standpoint.
	And the Dr. B 84 in the house says, probably not over 120k really.
	Okay, fair enough.
	Uh Dr. B is a doctor, so I'll take his uh his take for it.
	But yeah, but probably between 80 to 120,000.
	Purchased a house with at least four.
	Which is gonna be very important, and you guys are gonna see here because finances plays a role in this case significantly.
	There's a lot of math in this case.
	Yes.
	Four acres in the mountains, about an hour away from Gatlinburg to move to when he and Margaret retired.
	Apparently, they were having a problem with feral hogs, destroying the property, and Chad was spending a lot more time and money maintaining the house than he wanted to.
	Margaret was the supervisor for a transcription company.
	She had started off as a medical transcriptionist and worked her way up the ladder until she got to management.
	She worked from home in her own small office on the main floor of the house.
	A few years after getting married, Chad and Margaret had a son together, Cody, and then had Grant a few years later.
	Jason said that in 1989, his parents bought a piece of land off Fort Christmas Road in Shulota, Florida, and Chad designed and built their family home.
	Alright, so you know that that's gonna be pretty expensive.
	And actually, let me go ahead and I'm gonna open another tab for you guys here on the side, but let's keep going on with the with the documentary.
	Each boy got their own bedroom and they had a game room and almost three acres for the boys to play on.
	For Margaret, there was a nearby stable that she used to board a former racehorse that she would eventually rescue named Lady.
	In around 2009, a hungry mare would wander into their property, and eventually she was able to save the horse and begin rehabilitating it.
	The owner of the stable said that Margaret worked tirelessly to get Lady back into writing condition.
	Even after Lady died, Margaret would regularly ride her bike down to the stable to visit with friends and brush the horses.
	Grant described how he and Cody became good friends.
	Uh, me and Cody had the quintessential rough like fighting each other and whatnot when we're gonna love siblings.
	But that's the home right here, guys.
	Uh it's uh 212.
	Um, let's see here.
	Uh 2112, Sultan Circle, Choluda, Florida.
	Uh estimated home value about 563,000, uh, four-bedroom, three and a half bath, three thousand uh one hundred and sixty-nine square feet, two point nine one acre lot, single-family home.
	Uh, pretty nice home, man.
	Um, and pretty pretty expensive as well.
	Wow, pretty big is pretty big.
	So um, but that is a property I don't think I think I don't know if it's in the market or not.
	It looks like it might be.
	Let me let me look here.
	But uh let's keep going here.
	But that just so y'all know, kind of have an idea of of the home.
	I would say like my junior year of high school, we were all on the weightlifting team together.
	Uh that's where I got to know a lot of like his guy friends.
	Um, you know, we just we stopped like arguing at that point, and then we all you know, we decided to go.
	Okay, so Zillow has it at worth 725,000.
	See, this is a different this is why you gotta get an appraiser out there sometimes.
	This is that property right here, they're putting it at 725,000.
	It probably has a little bit of notoriety, which is why they can sell it more.
	Oh, this is a crazy, this is the house from you know the Amato uh murder.
	Um, and it was sold on May 4th.
	Some people have a thing for those things too.
	It's actually um owned at this point.
	So it's not in the market.
	What are you saying, Angie?
	That people some people have that thing for to buy like house.
	Jeffrey Dahmer's house that that went on the market as well, and people were Airbnb, they were Airbnb in it for a while.
	And people actually wanted to stay there.
	So no, that's definitely a thing.
	Nursing school together, we decided to go to the nurse antestheater school together.
	Um, we did everything together.
	I mean, we were a better student.
	He was the better student and everything up through nursing school, and then I was actually the better student in nurse anesthesia school.
	But uh there was like a again, kind of like I was the better student.
	Okay, we're gonna see about that here in a second.
	Are you guys sorry?
	Are you guys at the same time in the same classes?
	Yeah.
	So you're not gonna be able to do it.
	But not for nursing school, not for nursing school.
	No, no, I mean for the uh we sat right next to each other.
	So you're in there doing things together, so you got somebody to study with.
	Yeah, somebody to work with bounce things off of it.
	Yeah, and we would do that all the time.
	And you guys can see here, this is a police interrogation video.
	And the reason why they're talking about you know, making small talk like this is because when police interview suspects, it's very important for them to build rapport with the individual before they start asking them uncomfortable um and incriminating questions.
	You want to build some level of rapport and be able to kind of get a baseline of what they sound like and how they speak when they're comfortable.
	Okay.
	So um that's why it's very important to kind of build rapport in the beginning, shoot the shit, talk about sports, talk about random things.
	I've told you guys before in my interviews, right?
	When I would have a suspect in front of me, sometimes I might, you know, talk with them about random stuff, their favorite food, their family, sports, um, their hobbies, video games, even sometimes.
	I'll talk like that about those you know, random things for like an hour.
	Then I'll get into oh, yeah, I forgot, man.
	Yeah, so listen here, you're you're here because we caught you with 20 kilos of Coke.
	Let's go into that real fast.
	I forgot.
	Blah blah blah.
	And I'll kind of downplay it and then go into it.
	So um in this situation, it's no different.
	We're burned the midnight oil.
	But you were better at it.
	Yeah.
	Uh and that was the one time that he actually admitted that I was uh didactically more confident than him in that field.
	Um and then who was better in white listing?
	He was.
	Okay.
	He he broke a number of school records.
	Uh I think he was like the 129 weight class.
	I was the one nineteen weight class.
	But uh he was he was definitely stronger in uh in high school.
	And then um But yeah, uh we were close.
	I mean, I mean, like bonded, you know.
	So a normal brotherly relationship up until high school where they became extremely close.
	Jason was a few years older and was out of the house by the time Grant and Cody were finishing high school.
	The brothers had plans to both become nurses and then go to nurse anesthetic school together.
	After that, they were going to buy matching BMWs and then their parents' house when they retired and moved to their retirement home in Tennessee.
	The plan started out okay.
	And when Grant graduated with a bachelor's of science in nursing in 2011, the brothers enrolled in the same nursing and nested school.
	They literally sat next to each other in class.
	Even though Grant claims that I got that like twins.
	Well, is that yeah, sort of, yeah.
	And guys, uh, being a nurse, uh, so number one, anesthesiology is not easy, it's the most sued practice there is, and then being a nurse and necessitate is definitely not easy either.
	Um, they generally make somewhere between hundreds, thirty to two hundred thousand dollars a year.
	Um, Dr. B84, I know you're in the house, so please correct me if I'm wrong.
	I date a nurse at this uh anesthesis back in like 2013, 2014, and she back then she was earning like a buck 60 bucks 70 uh out of New Haven, but the Connecticut.
	But the thing is is that you know, it varies wildly, and then you can work a lot of overtime as well.
	And I remember she used to work all the time.
	So this is a pr pretty prestigious career.
	And uh you guys gotta understand that, like for hospitals, it's very expensive to have an anesthesiologist on the uh on the staff.
	So a lot of times anesthesiologists kind of contract and they go between different hospitals.
	So keeping a nurse and aestheticist at the hospital is a far cheaper uh way and more practical in some cases to have someone that has anesthesiology uh background, and it's it's it's less of cost to the hospital.
	So um, but yeah, anesthesiologist definitely make uh I think at the bare minimum around $300,000 per year.
	And then nurse and a cessus earned somewhere around one, like I said, $130 to like $200k per year, if I'm not if I'm not mistaken.
	So um, very it's it's um very prestigious career, could make quite a bit of money.
	It's not easy, though, it's very difficult profession.
	He was the better student during this time, he still managed to fail out of the program.
	Cody would go on to complete the program and land a job as a nurse anesthetist at a local hospital, making a very decent amount of money.
	Okay, also you guys can see here that the brothers are different, one's successful, another's a failure.
	This is gonna play very uh this is gonna play into the storyline here.
	Uh so pay attention.
	Grant managed to find a job as a nurse at a hospital and worked there for about five years, but was eventually accused of stealing medication in June of 2018.
	They fired him and pressed charges.
	But after Cody paid eight thousand dollars to hire a lawyer for his brother, the charges were dropped.
	So this guy actually um stole a vials of propofol, which is a very strong and anesthesia uh uh sedative.
	Sorry.
	Okay.
	Do you did you want me to pull up your screen on it or no?
	One thing.
	I I see you got a screen here.
	Do you want me to pull that up or no?
	Well, it's the same thing that I say in the video.
	So okay, all right.
	Fair enough.
	But this is his charge, Grand Larceny.
	Grant, this one right here?
	Yeah.
	Uh, where are we at?
	Highlighter for the people.
	Right here.
	Shit.
	Sorry.
	That's why I woman deserve less.
	All right, for Grant Larceny after the investigation concluded.
	Okay, fair enough.
	According to Grant, he said that the fact that he now had an arrest on his record made him not able to get a job, and he spent most of his time in his room playing video games, trying to become a famous Twitch streamer.
	You know, kind of like a YouTuber, just not as cool.
	So he wanted to be a content creator.
	Okay, so we know this solitary time playing video games is also when Grant discovered the wide, wonderful world of cam girls.
	Uh, here we go.
	Okay, it's about to get real.
	Oh shit!
	Oh shit.
	He said in an interview that the first time he talked to a cam girl, the first one was a woman named Sylvie who operated out of Bulgaria.
	He immediately fell in love with her and began believing that they had a special relationship.
	Silvia.
	MOMOCAT.
	I mean, outside of the fact that he was literally paying to talk to her, how much was he paying, you might ask?
	Well, he's gonna tell you.
	How much do you think he spent on this?
	He's kind of pricey.
	Yeah.
	90 tokens and $5,000 for how many tokens?
	No, no, six hundred dollars for for five thousand.
	Okay.
	So how much do you think he spent?
	Um probably close to like two hundred thousand dollars.
	Oh no!
	So guys, I got the math right here.
	The guy who actually spent like nine tokens per minute.
	So he ended up paying basically uh five thousand tokens, which is equal as uh six hundred dollars.
	So he will spend sixty-six uh fifty-six minutes, sorry, uh at the beginning talking to Sylvie on, and then he will end up like spending four hours per night, which is what he's saying right here, which is 2,500.
	Oh, they per night.
	Yo, guys, what do you man?
	Book coming soon, Valentine's Day.
	Why would we deserve less, bro?
	I'm trying to tell ya, man.
	I'm sorry.
	200,000.
	Yeah.
	And where'd the money come from?
	Money came from me, uh, my brother, and then my dad.
	Me, I see.
	He's lying.
	You you want to tell them the should we reveal it right now?
	Or not?
	Or where the money came from?
	This guy was didn't have a job, so he wasn't making any money.
	Exactly.
	So you guys are gonna see the the source of income.
	Are we going there?
	They didn't know that it was going to uh a cam, a cam model.
	I was saying that it was going towards my Twitch streaming, uh like put yeah, like advertising, like putting my name out there and that that type of thing.
	200,000 on a cam girl in six months, and he thinks that she's legitimately interested in him.
	It's six hundred dollars for five thousand tokens, and the cam girl takes ninety tokens a minute.
	Grant said that he was talking to Sylvie for about four hours a day, four hours of time would cost him twenty-one thousand six hundred tokens, which means he would need four point three blocks of five thousand tokens.
	That would be over twenty five hundred dollars a day.
	That works out to be more than seventy-seven thousand dollars a month.
	Clearly, he wasn't talking to this woman every day because it would only take him two and a half months to rack up 200 grand in debt at that rate.
	He said that the money came from himself, his dad, and his brother.
	He was telling them that he was buying advertising for his new Twitch streaming business, but he was really spending it all on a cam girl.
	On top Bro, BOMBOCAD!
	Holy guys, uh this is why being a simp will set you up for failure.
	Like, and we're not even getting into the crazy stuff yet.
	But wait, there's more.
	So in November uh 2018, this guy will spend like 20k uh per night, some nights.
	20kw per night thousand.
	Wow, dude.
	Yeah, and but guys are people are wondering like when this was all going down.
	You said what, 2018?
	2018.
	Yeah.
	To talk to Sylvie, he was leaving her to believe that he was rich and successful in the world he lived in while talking to Sylvie.
	He already drove that BMW that he had dreamed of with his brother years earlier in order to keep up appearances.
	He would send her lingerie and sex toys to use during her performances.
	After the credit cards that Grant stole from both his father and Cody got maxed out, he would just lie about promoting his Twitch stream and steal more credit cards.
	Unfortunately.
	Yeah, you guys can see here, he's basically just stealing, right?
	And lying to the girl to continue to perpetuate this fantasy.
	And and we talked about this in detail with Andrew Tate, guys.
	Uh, because you guys know Andrew and Tristan both ran a very successful webcam business.
	And the guys aren't paying to like just I mean, whacking off is a part of it, of course.
	But what they're really paying for a lot of times is attention from an attractive woman.
	A lot of these guys have never met and or been with an attractive woman that cares about what they gotta say or what they think.
	And webcamming allows them a lot of the time to fulfill that fantasy.
	They're paying for female attention.
	That's what they're paying for a lot of the times.
	Because anybody can get porn, but not many people can go ahead and interact with an attractive woman with a European accent that actually gives a shit about what you got going on in your life.
	And they sell that they sell that dream.
	That's what they do.
	And also, guys, do me a quick favor.
	We got 1,000 plus y'all in here watching the show.
	Uh, please go ahead and like the video.
	We got I think 200 of you guys on Twitch and then another 800 plus y'all, or sorry, 900 plus y'all on YouTube.
	So like the video, man.
	Let's get us to almost 100% engagement so I don't have to stop the video.
	Fortunately, Grant's family members did everything they could to keep the young man out of trouble, but all that did was enable him to continue his behavior.
	Eventually, Chad and Cody looked into the charges and figured out that Grant We got Zena in the chat by the way.
	Shout out to her.
	I gave you a range, Zena.
	Was spending all of their money on a cam girl.
	They started restricting Grant in ways they thought would keep him from talking to Sylvie, but he would always find ways to talk to her.
	Grant and Cody were also big fans of anime and had planned a trip to Japan with another friend named Jericho Fine.
	Bazzina, don't act crazy.
	I'll take that wrench away from you if you act crazy, alright?
	Be nice to the people, please.
	I know you'll be quick to ban some people.
	Don't do it.
	They went on their 10-day trip at the beginning of December of 2018, and since Grant didn't have a job at the time, Cody paid for all of his expenses.
	The trio went to Tokyo and Kyoto and had a great time.
	It wasn't until the day they were meant to leave when a problem arose.
	Cody got into the shower.
	Grant told me that he was going to go down to the lobby and find something to eat.
	So I didn't think anything of it.
	And Cody got out of the shower and asked me where Grant was, and I said he went down to the lobby to get something to eat.
	And Cody immediately checked the closet for his duffel bag and then said, where's Grant's duffel bag?
	And I was like, oh, I don't know.
	I didn't notice him take anything.
	And so Cody left me at the hotel for more than two hours.
	I was just kind of sitting in the lobby while he went to find Grant, and he was messaging me on WhatsApp, trying to keep me posted.
	And he found him at like a pachinko, like a gambling type building, and I guess he was on his tablet using the Wi-Fi.
	At first, I thought it was weird that Cody would immediately check for Grant's duffel bag, but Jericho explained during his testimony that Cody seemed to have Grant on a tight leash during the trip.
	He said that Cody would never let Grant get too far away and would yell at him, get back over here.
	This seemed to be part of the process of trying to keep Grant from spending more money on cam girls.
	So, yo, you can't even go to Japan or go on vacation with your brother without worrying that he's going to be spending money and fapping to some chicken Bulgaria.
	That is wild, bro.
	Boom, Bokka!
	Holy.
	...that he was caught doing the day they left Japan.
	It wasn't until later that Jericho discovered how Grant had paid for his time with Sylvie that day in Japan.
	I was out to dinner, and I went to pay for the dinner with the Discover card, and it had been frozen.
	So I contacted my father, since it's like a family account, and he sent me a screenshot of like three charges on the Discover.
	One went through, and then the other two were denied, but they were for my free cam tokens.
	Grant had stolen his friend's credit card number in order to buy tokens to talk to Sylvie before sneaking off to a place with Wi-Fi.
	This dude wasn't just being selfish to talk to a girl.
	He had a serious addiction.
	When the boys came back from Japan, Chad began pressuring Grant even harder about getting a job and repaying some of his debts.
	After an argument with his father, Grant left their house and didn't tell anyone where he was going.
	But Zena's asking if the case went federal because he's stealing credit cards.
	No, Zena, that only went federal for you.
	I had to do it.
	For some of you guys that are watching, yeah, Zena went down for fraud.
	Federally.
	Yo, it was too easy.
	I had to do it, man.
	You're so mean.
	I had to do it.
	This is why men also deserve this.
	She immediately was like, this is Casey Madderall.
	This dude is stealing credit cards.
	Oh, man.
	Oh, that was too easy.
	That was too easy.
	That was too easy.
	Yeah, this ended up being a state case.
	So you guys are going to see why here in a second.
	Jason said that he ran away during his testimony, which just sounds wrong to say about a 29-year-old adult, but that's essentially what he did.
	Family members reported him missing and told the police that he was depressed and that they were afraid that he might hurt himself.
	Margaret said she got a text from Grant saying he he was, quote, really tired of everything, end quote, and quote, just going to handle it his own way, end quote.
	It turned out that Grant had gone to his aunt Donna's house and she let him stay there for a few days.
	It wasn't long before she started seeing charges on her bank account that she didn't make.
	When she realized that it was Grant who was stealing her money, she wanted to press charges, but Chad and Margaret begged her not to.
	Cody ended up repaying his aunt the money that Grant had stolen.
	At this point, Grant had stolen from his father, his brother, one of his best friends, and his aunt, and Chad had to remortgage his house in order to cover $150,000 worth of Grant's debt.
	Holy bro.
	Boom, book out.
	And uh the narrator's a little wrong.
	I he said remortgage his house.
	What he means is refinance, and uh guys, what he probably had to do was something called a cash out refinance.
	Basically, let's say you got you know a hundred thousand dollars worth of equity in your home.
	You could do a c uh cash out refinance which will allow you to pull somewhere between seventy to eighty percent of the equity that you have and get that money out cash, tax-free, of course, and then you can use it to well, you should be using it to purchase other properties, but in this case, he was using it to pay off debt, consumer debt from webcam girl in eastern Europe, which quite frankly is very uh stupid.
	Well, what can you do here?
	So he had to literally refinance his house, get the cash out to pay the debts, 150,000 worth.
	So you guys could see here the ridiculous amount of money that Grant is spending to talk to some girl.
	This is a level of simptness I've never seen in my life.
	Wild.
	Donna said that Chad had told her over the phone, quote, Yeah, I'm going to have to work a few more years than I thought I'd have to, but it's okay.
	I'll do it for Grant.
	I don't want him to go to jail, end quote.
	All because he was addicted to a cam girl.
	family made some calls and found an addiction recovery facility that would take him.
	Oh, that's about to get crazy.
	On December 23rd, 2018, Chad, Margaret, Cody, and Jason all went to Donna's house early in the morning and had a sort of intervention for Grant.
	Cody took charge of the situation and talked to his younger brother about his obsession with Sylvie.
	He told them that they wanted him to go to a facility and talk to them about it.
	They just wanted things to be better for him.
	Grant initially got angry, but eventually gave in and got into the car with his father, mother, and Cody.
	Jason didn't go with them to drop him off at Cornerstone Recovery Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
	It was the last time Jason would see his father or Cody.
	Guys, by this time of the intervention of the family, Grant had already stolen from all his family $1,000,000.
	Holy man.
	So they should have intervened a lot sooner.
	A quarter million.
	200K?
	Yeah.
	Program at the recovery center, but he was released after 12 days.
	According to him, the counselor said that he was just in a little rut and didn't need to be in a full program.
	It seems as though he minimized his addiction to the cam girl because if they knew exactly what he would done in order to talk to Sylvie, they would have put him into an addiction program with no hesitation.
	Cody ended up paying $15,000 for Grant to have a spot in the program, which wasn't utilized.
	During his interview with police, Grant said that he thinks the facility refunded $3,000 since he didn't stay the full 60 days, but wasn't sure if Cody ever got the refund.
	Once Grant was back from Cornerstone, Chad had created a list of rules that Grant needed to follow in order to stay in the house.
	I guess.
	His dad basically gave him an ultimatum to stay at the house.
	When he brought him back, he had a bunch of rules.
	I would call it an ultimatum.
	Some options that were given to Grant to choose between uh after leaving the facility, and um based off of some of his choices, there were uh specific rules and regulations that uh my father had laid out for him.
	And uh give give some examples.
	I mean, I I don't not asking to read the Yeah, that man bun is crazy, but it is what it is.
	Our document, the jury has it, it's gonna go back with them, and they can read it.
	But give the uh the jury some examples.
	This is one of Grant's brothers, by the way, guys.
	Yes, the older.
	What uh what are the options given to him?
	All right, so uh the first thing that was covered was living arrangements, you know.
	Does he want to live at home, move out on his own, go to the military?
	Um looks like my father pre-wrote this and uh and then updated it with a different color pen.
	I'm assuming with uh discussion with Grant.
	And if you guys remember before, the dad, right, was pretty regimented, so he you know wrote the went down the list, you know, that he discussed what he wanted to discuss and then had another colored pen, you know, to make amendments as they were having the discussion.
	So they're actually put that put that into evidence because you can see the son here is reading it um for the jury.
	So there are some markings and highlightations of things that were discussed and chosen.
	It looks like Grant Um chose to live at home.
	Uh he understood that the family would not cover or pay any current remaining future debts, etc.
	Um goes on to say that uh, you know, he some rules are no post-midnight internet use.
	Um no more all-nighters online, uh limited TV, install a new AT and T modem.
	So you guys can see they're treating him like a child.
	Basically, he can't control himself.
	And he was almost 30 years old.
	Yeah, ridiculous.
	So basically they told him like no cell phone, no internet, no computer, get a job, and also like took out all his ties with this Bulgarian girl.
	We'll see what happens.
	Um for logging, wireless and hard traffic use.
	It says that he terminated his current phone, um, and set him up with a new phone that I guess didn't have data or the ability to go on the internet.
	Uh some responsibilities where he had to get a job, um, he had uh some debts that he had to take care of.
	Um no savings, he owed the family some money, owe the family an apology.
	Um it's very detailed.
	Chad felt like he needed to so the reason why you guys are probably wondering, well, yo, Myron, why are they introducing that to evidence?
	Like what what does that have to do with the case?
	Well, the reason why, guys, is because they're trying to demonstrate here um intent and motive for the offender, as you guys know, right?
	Grant murdered his family.
	Uh and what this letter, right?
	Not this letter, but this this list demonstrates is that the father put strict boundaries in place to limit Grant's ability to speak to and communicate with this woman and to spend money.
	And that is a part of the reason why Grant, right, m uh committed the crime allegedly.
	All right.
	So that's why the prosecution put that into evidence to show that the father took an active role in restricting his ability to speak this to this woman, which was the motive for why he went ahead and attacked the family and killed them later on.
	Severely restrict Grant's abilities at the home in order to keep him from getting into more financial trouble.
	He didn't know of any other way of keeping his son from blowing more money on a cam girl.
	He even contacted Sylvie in Bulgaria.
	It informed it states that it informed Grant that they're not.
	Imagine how crazy that is.
	Like some dude from America calls you up.
	You're some like webcam chick, right?
	You're maybe you're, you know, and you get this call.
	Hey, this is Chad.
	Yeah.
	I need you to stop talking to my son and taking his money.
	He's yeah.
	Our money.
	Stop doing that because it's actually my money and it's pissing me off.
	What was that?
	That is the family's money.
	Yeah, like this is he doesn't have the money.
	He's cap, he's losing his hair, he's not that attractive.
	He doesn't have a BMW, he's not a famous tweeter or gamer or whatever.
	Yep.
	He's not nothing that he's at.
	Everything he told you is stop the cat.
	You know, it's all a lie.
	So just leave him alone.
	All right.
	So could you imagine your dad having to do that though?
	And not only Sylvie though, that he also had friends online, like on their website.
	They were clear like a bunch of people had these like uh offician with Sylvie, and they all had in common that they liked Sylvie, so they were all friends.
	They were they weren't it was a group of simps.
	Hold on, wait a second.
	So you're telling me that there was other dudes that liked her.
	And they will chat online and watch the girl together.
	They were it was a whole community.
	What the Yeah.
	An army of simps.
	I'm telling you.
	I didn't know that.
	I thought, like, you know, because a lot of guys, most of the time when it comes to these webcam guys, they want the girl to themselves, right?
	And they just they want to talk with her one on one or whatever.
	But you're telling me that he had a community of Sims friends with.
	No, actually, you have to pay more.
	I don't know.
	I mean, I don't know all the websites though.
	But I know that in Psalms, you have to pay more to watch her pri uh privately pre-what privately.
	What's the word?
	Right, privately.
	So um, I guess he will do that, like to have sex with her and to get personal, but also like if you wanted to talk to her like regularly, just like regular conversation virtual banging.
	Yep.
	Crazy.
	I know.
	Bro, boom book.
	Holy, I did not know that.
	Shots Angie for giving us the little facts here.
	Yeah, I did not know that he had a community of guys that he was like friends with.
	That that's you know what?
	That explains his antisocial behavior.
	Yeah, because he didn't really talk to him.
	He was even in the internet.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Reached out to this woman to let them know, or to let her know some of the things that Grant had been saying weren't 100% true.
	Um don't worry, guys, we're gonna read the super chats at the end of the show.
	I appreciate you guys donating every single chat will be read.
	Uh, I just don't want to disrupt the flow of the show.
	Um, at the moment, maybe I'll take a break in the middle and you guys are hilarious.
	But you guys are hilarious.
	You guys got uh Angie laughing in the back.
	And uh, guys, also do me a favor.
	There's uh 1200 you guys watching right now on YouTube.
	If you guys could do me a huge favor and like the video, I would greatly appreciate it.
	It really helps with the algorithm.
	Um, and like I said before, we got kicked off YouTube for a week, couldn't post, etc.
	So anytime we got you all in here and you guys help with the engagement, it helps content like this get reach out more people because quite frankly, I'm trying to beat out these other true crime people that just put out may put on makeup and tell dumb stories.
	We make way better content, way better.
	She's actually good though.
	Yeah, we're better, bro.
	He wasn't allowed to communicate with her anymore.
	Um based off of those lies.
	Unfortunately, it sounds like his mother wasn't as strict.
	One of his rules was that I wasn't allowed to talk to the woman anymore that I had been talking to.
	Um but I guess you could say behind the scenes, my mom would let me talk to her through her cell phone using Twitter.
	Um, you know, she would tell me, like, look, you gotta keep it.
	You have to keep it just basic because if you say anything or if you entire anything or do anything like that, it might lead her to say something to like my dad or something like that.
	Oh she can touch with him.
	Because apparently when I was in Cornerstone, my dad told her because he had like hacked my computer or something like that, and then he found everything.
	Electronic guy like you and your brother, except he's more of that like hacking level, like able to do all that stuff.
	So he had found, you know, um like just the stuff that was related to her.
	And then you know, he like he like erased my whole entire computer, he put a password on it, so it's like even when I came back up until Thursday, like I wasn't able to go on to my own computer to look at anything.
	I think he's treating you like a small child, right?
	And so I mean, spending that amount of money out of the acting childish.
	I I kind of get it.
	Grant is fully aware that what he's done is wrong.
	He knows that he should feel that way to not look like the bad guy to these detectives, but Grant doesn't really care that what he's Doing is wrong because he's an addict.
	He has to find a way to get his fix, and eventually Chad finds out that Grant has been talking to Sylvie, and according to Grant, he kicks him out of the house.
	Grant told the detectives that Chad told him that if he ever set foot on their property again, he would kill him during his interview.
	Alright, that's very important, guys.
	So he told him if you set foot on this property again, boy.
	It's gonna be a wrap for you.
	His first version of events has him leaving the house between 9 and 9 30 p.m.
	So I left.
	Oh, God.
	If it's 6:30, the argument started.
	How long do you think before you left?
	I'd say like nine or nine thirty or something.
	Then he continues to tell detectives that he drove down the road and waited on the side of the road until Cody got home at about 9 30.
	Cody pulled up next to him, and Grant told him that he was going to be somewhere nearby.
	And according to Grant, Cody gave him his debit card to use to survive.
	Okay, so the timeline basically is he's on the corner of the road, brother sees him, gives him his debit card, which, as you guys know, a little weird because we already know that his brother doesn't trust him with his debit card and or any type of money because they know that Grant is pretty much predisposed to spend that on some cam horror.
	Yes, I just wanna stay that this argument and he got kicked out on the January 24.
	Okay, 2019.
	Okay, that's the day he got kicked out.
	Yeah.
	Alright.
	After Cody dropped.
	January 24, 2019 is when uh his father kicked him out of the house, guys.
	Chad kicked out Grant and told him, If you come back, I'll I'll kill you.
	Which that imagine what you where you gotta be as a dad to tell your son that.
	That's insane.
	That's wild.
	Drove off.
	Grant said that he stayed in the same spot for a couple of hours just in case anything happened.
	They knew where he was.
	The reason for that was because his cell phone had been turned off by Chad, so he didn't have any means of communication.
	Then he drove to a nearby public's grocery store and parked next to the building, and he claims that he slept in his car.
	The following morning, he woke up, changed into a suit, and drove to an interview he had at Express Scripts, which is a prescription drug management company.
	His interview was at 10 a.m. and afterwards he went to a variety Wait, the dude that steals prescription medication, getting a job over there.
	Okay.
	Stop the cap.
	...to try to get his phone turned back on.
	They told him that they couldn't help him because the account was in his father's name.
	He then tells detectives that he thought about going back to his house, but only drove down the road in his neighborhood and changed his mind.
	He went a few other places, got some food at Panera, and went to get a room at the Double Tree Hotel.
	The detectives brought up how he was paying for things.
	He looks like a dude that would eat a Panera bread.
	I ain't gonna even lie, man.
	You get one of them weird ass sandwiches that's like that barely fills you up.
	He looks like that type of guy to go ahead and get that type of food right there, man.
	Hey guys, do me a favor.
	We got like I said before, 1200 guys in here, but we only got 50% engagement.
	Guys, get us to 1,000 likes.
	If you guys could get it to 1000 likes, I would greatly appreciate it, man.
	I don't want to stop the show.
	Like the video.
	And Cody's debit card came up again.
	I had used Cody's card to pay for one of my bills.
	That was outstanding.
	Uh it was just one of those from that site.
	It was just like a bill that had backed up there.
	599.99.
	Okay.
	Um you know you're doing it.
	Yeah.
	He said okay to do that.
	He said to use this to like survive until things can get figured out.
	Because he knows that I only have you know a few hundred dollars in my name.
	He told you that that night that you could use his card and L Cody would need to be paid off.
	Yeah, but he was that he said L. Cody.
	L Cody's great brother.
	Yeah, seriously.
	He said to use it for like necessity.
	Did he give it to you?
	Yes.
	He gave you your take attention.
	Yeah, whatever.
	But that was normal for him, though.
	He was just all over he was fitting foot most of your bill.
	Okay.
	He explained that he used Cody's debit card to pay one of his bills.
	He claims that it was a bill from the cam girl site that had been backed up.
	So he's been kicked out of his house and has almost no money to his name, but paying off a bill to a camgirl site is top priority.
	No.
	Bro, what the BOOMUCA?
	This guy is legit never going to stop, man.
	Incredible.
	Incredible.
	I told y'all this was probably the biggest sim story I've ever seen in my life, man.
	You know, I wonder if Sylvie found out about the truth.
	Oh, is that you said quite?
	I wonder if Sylvie found out about the case.
	She had to have.
	She had to have.
	Yeah.
	There's no way.
	This thing was all over the news.
	Poor girl.
	Yeah.
	No, she's the one.
	She kept taking his money.
	Yeah, I know.
	But they're trained to do that.
	You know what I mean?
	So she belongs to the streets.
	What really happened is that Grant used Cody's debit card to buy more credits to pay to talk to Sylvie online the night he left his house.
	The internet history on Grant's Microsoft Surface shows that he paid for tokens and then used the Camgirl site at about three o'clock in the morning on January 25th.
	At this point, Grant has been sitting in a room at the sheriff's department talking to investigators for over two hours, and he's not asked why he's there or if anything has happened to his family.
	That right there, my friends.
	Red flag.
	Cody was described as an extremely dedicated worker.
	He was always at the hospital early, getting ready to take care of patients and talking with his colleagues about the day's plans.
	He had never missed a day of work and always stayed late when needed.
	The shifts for a nurse anesthetist were 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
	They worked 16-hour days, and any after they'd be doing slave hours, bro.
	They'd be doing slave hours.
	Yeah.
	I remember when I uh was seeing that girl, she would like it would be like two to three days in a row, and yeah, slave hours.
	She was always tired.
	Hours worked after 12 hours, were paid at double time, so people didn't regularly volunteer to leave.
	Cody worked with a man named Chris Sisko who described their day at work on January 24th, 2019.
	Uh our days are normally filled.
	Um they're very busy.
	Um but I do remember that uh that afternoon it had kind of slowed down a little bit.
	And um there uh so what happens is is there's four of us that are scheduled that um 16 hour shift.
	Um and again, if it for some reason if it slows down in the afternoon, um you uh what we'll do is either we have to stay there on call even though there's no cases going on, or if there's even sometimes no cases going on, sometimes the the um head anesthesiologist that's running the board for the day who's in control of the board and of when we get to go and come.
	Um, they will first ask us if there's any volunteers if anybody wants to leave early.
	Um, well, that day I remember that um none of us wanted to leave early.
	Um so um instead of any volunteers, what will happen is um they will we'll put all of our names in a hat and draw names out of a hat.
	And uh Cody's name came up uh first, and uh he was gonna leave at like 9 30 uh that afternoon, and then um that evening afternoon or evening.
	He said afternoon.
	Yeah, 9 30 p.m.
	Okay, good yes, I'm sorry.
	Yep, 9 30 p.m. is when uh he was gonna leave because we didn't need him, and then I would stay until 11 to cover until the night guy came in to cover the night shift.
	It was slow and Cody was picked to leave first, but he actually left a little early.
	Chris described Cody wandering off to make a phone call, so he decided to sit down and have some lunch at about 9 15.
	Cody popped his head in the door and said he was going to leave.
	He told Chris that he'd see him in the morning since they both had another shift together.
	And you guys can see between the two brothers that there's a very stark contrast in how they behave.
	One is extremely dutiful, responsible, does what he's supposed to do, others respect him, they admire him, they uh, you know, r respect his uh advice, they go to him for advice, whereas the other one is a complete degenerate, unable to, you know, control himself, undisciplined, a simp, etc.
	Can't get a job, can't hold a job, can't earn money.
	There's a huge difference between the two.
	It's wild.
	Chris said that the next day he clawed.
	This is gonna play into what comes up next when you guys see.
	Locked into the hospital at 6 19 a.m.
	They had to be there by 7 a.m., but we're allowed to clock in up to an hour early.
	He said that Cody would normally already be on site by the time he got there, but that day he wasn't.
	Uh when I first got in, I had clocked in.
	Um at my where we clock in at, and you walk right by that, and there's the uh the surgery OR board where you can see where your case assignment is for the day.
	I had ran into a colleague of ours um that typically works overnight, and uh she had said, um Cody's not here, I haven't seen him yet, he's not in pre-op.
	Um, you know, have you heard from him?
	And of course I was like, no, I just got here.
	I haven't heard from him yet.
	Um so um I went about you know, the next couple minutes I was I went to pre-op just to see for myself to see if he was there and he wasn't there, so I I looked at whatever room he was supposed to be in, and he wasn't in there.
	Uh so then uh I ran into the colleague again, and she had expressed like a little bit more concern this time.
	And um so I said, Well, why don't I just try to call him or text him?
	So I tried to text him.
	Um I know that um when Cody Cody has an iPhone like I do, and I know that um when you have the iMessage that when you send a text message, um typically it goes through in blue, which means This is why iPhone is superior, my friends.
	I've been telling y'all.
	Okay, George are not it, even though droid is a superior phone.
	I admit this, need that iPhone, because you guys are about to see what happens next year.
	That the phone received the text message.
	Um and so when I text him, you know, hey, we're and for some of you guys wondering in the chat, yes, this is this is uh Cody's co-worker, not Grant, because Grant doesn't have a co-worker, he's unemployed.
	Are you um it went through uh just green, like the phone didn't receive the text message, like it's either so obviously suspicious right now.
	You got someone that's pretty responsible, always on time, always goes to work, someone that's dependable.
	All of a sudden you message them and it's green.
	What's going on here?
	Out of service or it's dead.
	Um that ever happened before.
	No, sir.
	Cody always had his no Cody always had his phone on, it was always he always had a charger on him, he always had it clipped to him.
	Um if I ever throughout the day, if I had a question That's yo, when you see someone have their cell phone clipped on their on their belt line, you know they're serious about their business.
	It's 2023, you see someone with that?
	That's like on some beeper type vibes, you know, they're serious.
	About anything.
	Um, I knew that if I shot Cody a text, he would text me right back with, you know, advice or whatever.
	So then when it went through green, it was concerning.
	So I thought, well, maybe I'll just try to give him a buzz.
	So I tried to call the the phone and it went uh it you know rang a couple times and went straight to voicemail.
	To explain to anyone who hasn't used an iPhone, if you send a text from one iPhone to another, it will actually use the Apple software iMessage, which is now just called messages.
	The same text will also pop up on your computer if you use a Mac.
	The text bubble in the app will be green when you're texting through messages.
	If you text a non-iPhone, it will just send it as a standard SMS, and the text bubble will be blue.
	At the same time, if an iPhone user texts another iPhone user and the phone is off or it's out of service, the text bubble will appear blue because the iPhone sending the message can't confirm that the recipient is using the messages service.
	Chris made a few other calls, and nobody had heard from Cody, and since it was now past 7 a.m., Chris called 911 and asked if they would perform a welfare or wellness check.
	Seminole County Sheriff's Deputy Todd Moterson arrived at the Amado home at about 9 a.m.
	He knocked on the door, pounded on windows, called out Cody's name, and even used the air horn on his sheriff's vehicle, which was a Ford F-150.
	He called Cody's cell phone.
	And in rural areas like this, guys, you typically aren't gonna have a police department, it's gonna be Sheriff County's office that is you know, your your law enforcement agency that it takes charge of this area.
	So um this is pretty common, especially in the south.
	Cody's car was in the driveway, So Deputy Moterson believed there was cause to enter the home.
	After getting permission from a supervisor and waiting for backup to arrive, he used a knife to Jimmy open the deadbolt on the back door.
	There was a large cabinet in front of the door, and they had to push it out of the way.
	It's unclear why the cabinet was in front of the door.
	Sometimes people will put something like that in front of a door they never use.
	But I also noticed in the deputy's body cam footage that the windows were covered with paper.
	It's never discussed anywhere.
	Once inside, they found the bodies of Chad, Margaret, and Cody Amato.
	All three had been killed with gunshot wounds to the head.
	Investigator.
	And rest in peace to them, man, because obviously this was a very gruesome crime scene.
	Very brutal.
	Yeah.
	There were gunshot wounds identified on her face and head.
	And of note on the left occipital scalp, which is the back of the head on the left side.
	And what I'm gonna do for you guys, because I have some of these pictures here.
	I don't know if I try to share them, I know you can't get me ahead of it.
	So what I will do is um me and Angie will put the links below for you guys to look at the crime scene photos in the description.
	Okay, uh, so you guys can go ahead and look at them.
	Uh there I have the gun though.
	You have the gun?
	Okay, go I'll go ahead and put it up on screen for y'all.
	Uh here's the gun, guys, right here that was used.
	Um and there's some other photos as well.
	But uh this is the gun, and I have it here.
	Where is here?
	It was a semi-automatic uh hindgun.
	Yeah.
	I mean, you should know about this.
	Uh Jericho 941, I think it is.
	Oh no, no, no.
	Uh with an yeah, IWI Jericho 941.
	Yep.
	But we'll put the um we'll put the the um the pictures there for y'all, so don't worry.
	There was an oval gunshot wound entrance.
	Your discretion is definitely advised.
	And it was did you observe an exit wound?
	Yes, and then so the uh other wound on the right cheek was a exit wound.
	Margaret had been sitting in her computer and someone came up behind her and shot her in the back.
	It blurred it, so but yeah, but I basically I have this photo, but on you know, not blurred.
	Back of the head.
	The last activity on the computer was at 4 44 p.m.
	January 24th.
	It was believed that Chad was killed after he got home from work at about 5 30.
	So beginning on the back of the right ear, uh, there's a gunshot wound entrance.
	And this one uh was associated with some kind of abrasions on the Can you put the link in the chat for the people, Angie?
	Yo, um people are asking how bad out of these pictures, guys.
	Um I'm telling you these are very Yeah.
	Angie's gonna throw it in the chat for y'all right now.
	Can you throw it in there for the mangy, please?
	Yeah, sure, sure.
	She got y'all.
	On the back of the ear, and it was focally lacerated, or it was torn the skin was torn.
	And uh I noticed that it went through the ear, and then it re-entered through the tragus, which is an area that's commonly pierced by some people uh of the ear, and it re-enters into the um cranial cavity and then exits on the right forehead.
	So uh it was one wound track with multiple different entrances, exits, and then uh re-entries and re-exits.
	Here, I'll put the link in the chat for you guys right now so you guys can look at it.
	Um I'm sending the two because I'm pinning it at the top so you guys can actually look at it while we uh break down this documentary, and you guys can look at the photos, but they're all there.
	That one in falls and see them.
	The uh skin and software.
	I'm warning y'all, it's graphic.
	So you shouldn't see them, guys.
	Yeah, so if you want to, I mean, I so people you know how people are they want to see them, so so that they can understand the very brutality.
	Yeah, the brutality of this case.
	Tissue in the area, it involved the um temporal bone of the skull.
	It goes through the right frontal lobe of the brain, it fractures the right frontal bone of the skull.
	And um tell the jury the the uh direction of that particular bullet.
	And that course one course was from back to front, and it's from right to left and upwards.
	The first shot to the back of Chad's head did not immediately kill him.
	So when I first saw Chad's body in the kitchen, I asked the investigators if he had been moved.
	It was my instinct that he was not in the correct position or in the position that he had died in.
	His taking in the entire crime scene, the blood patterns, the movement in the blood in the kitchen.
	It seemed that he was not in the same positioning as he would have been at the time he died.
	And I'm going to show you again states 41.
	Can you please point out to the jury what specifically led you to believe he was moved?
	Well, initially, when we arrived at the scene, we knew that there were two cartridge cases in the kitchen.
	However, we only saw the one bullet hole in the top portion of the kitchen cabinet.
	And that lined up with the blood pool on this side of the kitchen island.
	So the right side in this photograph.
	So we assumed, or I assume that that shot caused him to fall down.
	He bled.
	And then you can see these drops of blood.
	Everybody's cut themselves and dripped blood.
	Um and some movement in the blood.
	And these palms.
	And if you guys click the Reddit link, you guys are going to be able to see and kind of follow along with what she's doing.
	So go ahead and click that Reddit link.
	If you're a fan of heart, don't do it.
	But click it and you'll be able to see.
	They're very gory.
	Yeah, you'll be able to see the kitchen uh that she's describing where Chad was killed.
	Prince.
	So it appeared that he was face down and possibly crawling around the kitchen floor.
	And then he for obvious reasons I can't show it on YouTube, but you can get you guys can follow along and look uh click that Reddit link.
	I pinned in the top of the chat for y'all.
	Go ahead and look through, and you guys are gonna see the scene.
	Ended up on this side where he bled more and died.
	So if somebody's crawling around and they just bleed out and die, you would assume that they would be face down.
	The evidence showed that Chad was shot in the back of the head.
	He crawled across the kitchen floor and was shot a second time in the back of the head.
	But he was face up when deputies found his body.
	You guys could see the blood is coagulating here, right?
	Which is indicative of it being there for a while.
	It's believed that Chad was rolled over so that whoever shot him could clip a gun holster to his belt.
	And you guys can see right here, this is and look at how it's for all my gun guys out there.
	Y'all already know that this is a very strange way to clip your gun.
	Okay, not many people do a cross-draw, and we're gonna talk about that here in a second.
	Christine Snyder, who's the crime scene supervisor for the Seminole County Sheriff's Department, explained why the holster was unusual.
	The firearm was inside of a holster, which you can see on the screen.
	The holster had a metal clip, which attached it to the belt.
	However, it was placed between the pants and the belt, which would make it unstable.
	Uh the clip, the metal clip was on the outside across the belt, and the holster was inside of the belt between the pants and the belt.
	The gun itself was placed inside of the holster, and it was in this position on his body, which was strange because we learned from his son Jason that he was right-handed.
	So if you're holding or if you're carrying a firearm.
	And that right there doesn't make sense to be right-handed and have the gun that way.
	Arm and you want to draw it quickly, you're going to grab it here.
	And in this case, the grip isn't in the right location.
	So if somebody was carrying the firearm in this manner, they would most likely be left-handed and they would have to do a cross draw where they pull it out this way.
	Um, this is not a very common way to carry a firearm because it's a little bit harder to get to.
	It takes longer to pull it out.
	And uh guys, I'll tell you from my law enforcement experience, I think I've met only maybe one or two agents out of hundreds that Carry cross draw.
	Most carry um on their side.
	Uh maybe a few carry appendix like I used to, right?
	But you gotta be thin and have a slender body to be able to do that, pause.
	Right?
	You can't be fat slob doing uh appendix carrying right way to you to but a cross draw.
	Very few people cross draw, man.
	Very few.
	What was that, Andrew?
	What's it right way?
	There is no right way, but I mean the most preferable ways.
	Most people carry it on the side on their right on their strong harm side.
	So if they're right-handed, they carry on the right hand side.
	If they c so if they're right-handed, they carry it right here, right?
	If I stand up.
	Yes, no.
	Yeah, they carry it right here.
	Right.
	Or I say carry appendix like this.
	Or some people carry it behind them over here, which I don't really like, but a lot of people carry it there too because it's easier to conceal.
	And then a lot of people actually too high too.
	Uh was that it's easier to hide.
	It's easier to hide when you put on your back.
	Yep.
	And then a lot of people actually carry it on their ankle too.
	That was actually a very popular way to carry guns.
	But cross draw, very few people carry cross draw.
	Very few.
	I mean, hell, very few people carry appendix, let alone cross draw.
	I've heard of people who are left-handed who shoot right-handed, but it's very not as common for a right-handed person to shoot with their left hand.
	So normally, if you're carrying a firearm, you would probably put it inside of your pants for stability, especially a large gun like this, and he's a smaller individual.
	And you would have the grip towards the side.
	So then you can grab it quickly and pull it out.
	If you were carrying it the way that he has it, and you're right-handed, you would have to pull it out awkwardly, point it at yourself, and then point it towards somebody to fire it.
	Which just doesn't make any sense.
	If you were right-handed and you were doing a cross draw, you would carry it on the other side and pull it out this way.
	But the only way that this is strange for a right-handed person to carry it this way.
	Not only was the position of the holster odd, but the fact that Chad had clearly crawled through blood, but the holster was perfectly clean showed that the holster was placed on the body after the fact.
	The crime scene analyst also found a drop of blood on Chad's pants under the holster.
	Someone was trying to make it look like Chad had a gun on him prior to his death.
	Investigators believe Cody was the last to be shot.
	So on the right cheek, there's a gunshot wound entrance.
	And that wound involved the skin, the soft tissue in the area, the right maxillary bone of the face, the right sphenoid bone of the skull.
	It crosses the midline and involved the brain stem.
	And it continued to involve the left cerebral hemisphere of the brain and the left occipital bone of the skull.
	And finally, on the um back of the uh head, there was a gunshot wound exit.
	Cody's body was found just inside the door that came into the house from the garage.
	He was still in his work scrubs and had the backpack he took with him to work.
	It appeared as if Cody was shot in the face.
	This photo is also in the Reddit link that I put for you guys.
	So you guys can go ahead and look on, open up the link, and you guys will be able to see this photo as well from the backside.
	The minute he walked in the door, near Cody's body was one of the 9mm guns that he owned.
	The question became whether Cody had killed his parents and then himself.
	There were four shell casings collected from the scene, which matched the amount of times the victims had been shot.
	Bullets collected from the scene were sent to the forensics lab for comparison.
	But strangely, the bullets were found to not have come from the shell casings.
	The shit!
	Oh shit!
	The murderer thought they were smart.
	Shell casings had been fired from Cody's gun, but the bullets did not match the rifling of the same gun.
	Also, investigators found no gunshot residue on Cody's hands, and there was no stippling on the bullet wound to his face.
	That's huge.
	The fact that he didn't have gunshot residue on his hands and no stapling on his head tells you, and stipend guys is the burn marks that uh uh hit you whenever you're hit with a close range shot.
	Stippling is when the skin gets burned by gunpowder, when a gun is discharged close to the skin.
	The lack of stippling meant that the gun was fired from at least three feet away.
	And this also, guys, is how they knew that Wine W. Melly was a shooter in that case because there was stippling on his victims on his two best friends' heads because he shot them in the car versus them saying, Oh no, it was a drive-by shooting.
	That's how the police knew it was almost an execution shot at point blank range.
	Not something that Cody could have done himself.
	So someone managed to get into the house without any signs of forced entry, shot all three family members, and attempted to make it look like a murder suicide.
	The absence of Grant from the scene made him a prime suspect.
	Jason was also a suspect, but was quickly cleared.
	Crime scene analysts went to Jason's employer and searched him and his car.
	Then they searched his house.
	He had no injuries and they found no blood or weapons anywhere.
	He also had an alibi as he was out to dinner with his girlfriend and her daughters at the time authorities believed the crimes were committed.
	I ain't gonna lie, I would probably suspect them too if I was the lead detective like yo, that man bun with the funny tail.
	What the hell's going on here?
	The morning of January 26th, 2019.
	Grant woke up at the Double Tree Hotel and walked outside to get a bottle of water from his car.
	There were sheriffs outside who asked him to come to the sheriff's office and answer some questions.
	From there, Grant sat in an interview room for more than two hours, telling investigators all about his life and his relationship with his family without ever asking why he was there.
	The detectives finally tell him that something happened at his house, and he starts changing his story.
	When I had come back that other time, I crossed in front of the red the dude's fence, the red blinking lights ones.
	What time was that?
	I can't I can't remember.
	That was that was Friday during the day when you said you were gonna come back.
	Right.
	Yeah, okay.
	But it was after you did your interview.
	Correct.
	Okay.
	If you did that, you would have seen something.
	And here, guys, I got some of the footage for you guys from the arrest uh of Grant Amato right here.
	Some people say that he looks like Mike Gloven.
	This is just released body cam video showing the moment Orange County Sheriff's Deputies took Grant Amato into custody at a hotel.
	The man accused of killing three family members seemed so docile, so meek.
	Law enforcement was looking for Amato because he was the suspect in the triple murder, accused of shooting his mother, father, and brother.
	Look at how gaunt and skinny and messed up he is.
	Like all he cares about is talking to that webcam model.
	Death in their Seminole County home.
	The alleged motive for the murders is so bizarre, Hollywood script writers couldn't make it up.
	According to investigators, the family was in turmoil.
	Amado's parents put him in a sex and internet addiction rehab clinic.
	Amato allegedly siphoned off thousands from them to pay for chats and buy gifts for a Bulgarian woman he met on an adult website.
	Now, five months later.
	Grant Amado is ready to stand trial.
	This week there was a hearing to decide what evidence will be allowed.
	Now we know you don't have your weapons, well, we'll get those restraints off on me.
	This body cam video is expected to be part of the evidence.
	In the video, you see a motto, surrender.
	He puts up no fight, even encourages deputies to check his room for weapons.
	I mean, I have my my like duffel mag and whatnot in there if you guys want to check after he was And the only reason he's so confident is because he knows that they're not going to find the murder weapon.
	Taken into custody, Amato was questioned and eventually charged with three counts of first degree murder.
	Holy all this over some webcam girl that doesn't even like him.
	Incredible.
	Doesn't it really?
	It would be something out of the ordinary that you would have seen.
	If you pass that, you pass something out of the ordinary.
	I saw like a news van, and then uh I don't think there might have been like a cop car there was like trafficking things.
	Human nature.
	Human nature.
	What do people do when I go back to my old neighborhood?
	And I've lived a couple places in Central Florida and the 23 years I've been here.
	I see something major go on.
	I get on my phone.
	I get on my computer.
	So I look what I wonder what happened by my neighborhood and look.
	Did that even spark your attention?
	I was there's a digital footprint of what I went.
	They can tell me I looked, I looked at these maps on my phone.
	It's on there.
	The memory's there, you can't delete it.
	You can't.
	You came back to the neighborhood.
	You saw some things that are really out of the ordinary.
	And I don't believe for a second that you thought that I'm not gonna look what's going on.
	What happened in my neighborhood?
	I I I mean I didn't search it up on anything on any of the devices that I have.
	Did you search it somewhere else?
	On uh when I gone to the Panera, I searched for like top stories.
	Ovito or Chulio.
	Stop the cat or something like that.
	And then I saw that there was uh it was like just the initial like it had like a video, but I didn't I didn't listen to the video, but it had an initial thing of that there was shootings and fallen circle, but it didn't say like the address or who's involved.
	It was just like the forelinary.
	Um what was it?
	What was it?
	What was the site we searched?
	I can't I honestly can't remember.
	Stop the cow.
	And you saw the story, because we've seen the same stories.
	You've seen the story.
	Because there's a thing that will tell me how long of the of the time you spell you saw what happened.
	Yeah, I was on there for like 20 seconds.
	Well, what was your thoughts when you reviewed that story?
	I was freaking out, and I like I didn't I was just like blank, I didn't know what to do.
	You guys are going in on his hair, bro.
	He changes the story within that clip alone.
	He claims that he saw a news van in his neighborhood, but that he didn't search for what happened.
	Then he immediately says he did search, but he didn't read the story.
	He was freaking out about it, but spent more than two hours at the sheriff's office and never brought it up.
	They finally tell him his family is dead.
	They ask him what he thought happened in the home.
	So if anything happened in the home to bring law enforcement there, what would you think happened?
	That there was a shooting.
	Between whom?
	I don't know.
	Stop the cow.
	How'd you know it's a shooting?
	Between Cody and my dad.
	And why would you think that?
	To protect me or to help me or to do something with me.
	Grant told us what are you talking about, bro?
	This just goes to show like the incredible lack of disregard.
	Like, what are you talking about, man?
	To protect you from what?
	From paying money and whacking off to some Bulgarian?
	Like, no, you've already exhausted those options, man.
	Guys, do me a favor, by the way.
	Quick little thing.
	You know, we'll do a quick super chat break.
	Um, we got 1400 plus y'all in here.

	Great episode, and Angie is a great sidekick.
	Yay!
	Yeah, Andrew and G does her research, man.
	She helps out.
	Um, she's the one that actually suggested this case, and then I look back and I saw so many of you guys had wanted this, so I was like, you know what?
	Let's let's do it.
	Uh K Sean goes, Angelica sounds like chick from Fifth Element.
	Yeah, I know her English sucks.

	Keep doing what you're doing.
	Can you research that real quick?
	If I'm not mistaken, that's the guy that Raphael Best.
	Uh, yeah, a Rafael Perez, aka Real Life, Alonzo Harris.
	Alonso Harris.
	If I'm not mistaken, that is who they made the movie Training Day on.
	I think that's training day.
	Train Day, no, training training day.
	It's an old movie from uh back in the day with uh Denzel Watson.
	Very good movie.

	Yes, it's this one with Denzel Washington.

	Yeah, okay.
	That is what they wanted.

	Uh I think that's it, right?
	We're caught up.
	Okay, cool.
	Back to the documentary, guys.
	Uh thank you for being patient.
	Also, like I said before, we got 800, uh, 1400 guys watching the show right now.
	Do me a favor, please like the video.
	Uh, get me to 1,000 likes, man.
	I'll be very happy.
	Uh, only that's like another hundred plus likes, and we'll be good.
	All right, let's keep going.
	Angie, you got anything before I keep playing this thing?
	No, I'm just reading the chat, man.
	Like this guy.
	Yeah.
	Authorities multiple times up until this point that Cody told him, quote, he would take care of it, end quote.
	Grant staged the scene and then tried to plant the seed that Cody was going to kill their parents to protect him.
	They tell him that they know that Cody didn't shoot anybody.
	The evidence shows that nobody in the house fired a weapon.
	She never, she never held a gun.
	She didn't have a gun that night.
	Fact.
	He never fired a gun.
	Fact.
	He never fired a gun.
	Never did.
	All right.
	This is the confrontation phase, guys.
	When you so you, you know, you do your small talk, right?
	In the interview, right?
	You do your small talk, you build rapport, read them the rights.
	You have the rights or man.
	Solomon, blah, blah, blah.
	Then you kind of go into get their side of the story, right?
	And the reason why you get their side of the story uninterrupted is To get, you know, you start to see all the illogical fallacies, the lies, etc., because you already know all the facts in your head by the time you sit in that interview room talking to them.
	Then once they tell you their story and it doesn't make sense, you confront them with the actual evidence, which is what the detective is doing right now at this moment.
	Hey, we know that you know you're the one that shot them.
	We know that there wasn't any type of residue on Cody's hands.
	We know that he didn't commit self-deletion, so to speak.
	So that's what he's confronting him with right now.
	And how they react to this typically is very indicative of their innocence or guilt.
	This is the person right here, mom, who always stuck up for you.
	Something happened so bad it caused her death, your dad's death, and Cody.
	And I'll I'll tell you just about how it happened.
	One, two, three, based on evidence.
	Based on evidence.
	I know he did not shoot your mom.
	I know he didn't shoot your dad.
	I know he didn't shoot himself.
	And I know from from the surveillance camera in the neighborhood.
	Nobody else came to that house.
	Yeah, stop the cow.
	I know.
	I know I gotta count.
	Stop the cat.
	For everybody that went to the house.
	I know.
	Tell us what happened.
	I know it.
	Hey.
	I know.
	Video surveillance tells me everything that happened this night.
	I'm gotcha, bitch.
	telling you of people that you'd be surprised who in your neighborhood has video.
	And I know that nobody there's only four people at this house during this time.
	One, two, three, four.
	They try to get him to confess, but he maintains his innocence.
	They take a little break, and when they come back, Grant's story has changed some more.
	Now Grant said that he was still home when Cody got home from work and that Cody began arguing with their father.
	It didn't help because Grant still had to leave.
	And then so is it true that you still met Cody up the block, or was that so you didn't meet him up the block?
	Three Diglas goes hand on shoulder.
	Yeah, he fucked.
	So why did you tell us that?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	I was talking to detectives about a very specific part of my day, and I just made a bunch of it up.
	Why the hell not?
	Grant's clothes are taken to be analyzed by forensics, and he's given some other clothes to wear.
	He asked to talk to his older brother Jason, and Jason came down to the sheriff's office to talk to him.
	I'm sorry.
	I I don't I don't believe it.
	Alright, so this is gonna be a very interesting exchange between uh Man Bun Brother and Bald Brother.
	Okay, let's get into it.
	Guys, do me a favor, like the video.
	We got 911 likes, get uh 90 more or 89 more, and we'll be at 1000.
	And I probably will have resentment for the rest of my life, whether you did it or you didn't do it, like I need closure.
	I need to know what happened to my mother, my father, and my brother Cody.
	And this is something as well, guys, that detectives employ where they'll bring a family member in to uh ask questions of the accused.
	Um, this actually ended up happening on the Chris Watts case.
	Uh, Angie, remember that one?
	Yeah that we watched.
	Um, and they're able to get that information out of the individual from a trusted family member a lot of the times.
	So I think that was what the strategy was in this situation.
	But your boy uh Grant, uh he's standing tall.
	Because I wasn't there to fucking help.
	And that hurts me.
	That hurts me a lot, man.
	Okay, they want to know about the Chris Watts case.
	Uh, we will be covering the Chris Watts case, guys.
	Um, Angie, did you uh take notes on that one as a uh uh uh as much?
	I didn't take notes on that one.
	No.
	Okay.
	No, but we did which the documentary.
	So we're familiar with it, and we're gonna do it for you guys.
	Don't worry.
	Yeah.
	Um, that was that one is also on the list.
	So, all right, real quick.
	Um, we're gonna well let here's what's up on the list.
	We got Jody Arias probably next week.
	Um, we're gonna do Chris Watts for y'all.
	I'll probably do the Las Vegas, not the Vegas, the um LA shooting, well, bank robbery for y'all as well.
	And then uh I'm gonna do a documentary reaction for you guys.
	Probably uh maybe tonight or tomorrow, so to release for you guys on Thursday, because as you guys know, I'm gonna be in Columbia.
	So uh yeah, I'll think of a documentary breakdown to do.
	Maybe we'll do the the um the bank robbery or Chris Watts.
	Uh dynamic of the cases that the guys want to watch.
	I I have a lace actually, I don't I haven't told you I have a list of cases that we can cover.
	Okay.
	So you can drop it, I don't know, in YouTube or anything, so they can like decide which one they will want to see.
	Okay.
	Alright, so what this is what I'll do after this episode, I will go ahead and take the list case uh list uh case list that Angie has, and I'll put it for y'all in the poll section.
	You guys tell me what you guys want.
	Okay.
	Um and then in the meantime, uh, don't worry about young Dolph.
	I still got the young Dolph one, guys.
	It's coming.
	I know it's been forever, but there's arrests that are still being processed and people going to court and everything else like that.
	I'll get what Christina about the young Dolph case.
	Uh but yeah, we got a bunch of them for y'all.
	So they said in the chat, lace of cases.
	Make a funny accent.
	I may not have been able to stop you.
	You probably may have hurt me too.
	But at least I would have known what happened.
	And now I'm in fucking who knows what now.
	I'm lost.
	And it scares me that you want to leave here and not face what happened.
	Because you're putting my life at Rick, man.
	You're putting Donna's life at Rick.
	Greenman's life.
	How do we know what you're gonna do?
	Clearly, Grant hasn't fooled him.
	The sheriffs put Grant up at a different hotel since his room at the Double Tree has been searched and his property has been seized.
	In the room, they found a pair of gloves that tested positive for gunshot residue on the outside.
	They find the information on his tablet that he had purchased more tokens with Cody's debit card in order to talk to Sylvie.
	The same card that Grant claimed that Cody gave him, but it's clear that Grant took it from his brother after he shot him in the face.
	Bro, holy man.
	Hello, Ok Ball!
	You killed his brother, and then you guys could see after his brother was dead, he bought more tokens.
	When they searched to talk to the Bulgarian girl.
	Grant's computer, they found pictures of credit cards that belonged to his parents, his grandparents, an uncle, and one of his cousins.
	He was willing to steal from anybody in order to talk to a woman that he thought was having a personal relationship with him.
	People don't make you pay to talk to them when they really want to have a personal relationship with you.
	The search of his computer also included logs that a USB drive had been plugged in at 11 32 p.m. on January 24th and unplugged at 1227 a.m. on January 25th.
	They showed that Chad's iPhone had been plugged into Grant's computer at 11 39 p.m. on January 24th.
	It was unable to connect to the computer because it would have needed prior permission, so it was unplugged.
	Then the phone was placed into recovery mode and plugged back into the computer at 11 43 p.m. the same night.
	There had been a search history on Grant's tap.
	Holy shit.
	They said Angelica got a hand tattoo by the Las Calas.
	Guys.
	Tablet about how to unlock an iPhone.
	The logs of Chad's iPhone showed that the USAA bank app had been unlocked using a fingerprint at 1208 AM on January 25th.
	This is about to get crazy, guys.
	The defense actually brought this up, thinking it was a way to show that Chad could have still been alive after investigators theorized that they had been killed.
	Nope.
	You guys are about to see an evidence that was not true.
	I think what they really showed was that Grant had pressed his dead father's finger against the phone so he could log into his bank app.
	One thing that investigators.
	Holy This dude was on demon time for real, man.
	Dead dad takes his finger, and you guys can look at the crime scene photos.
	You'll see that one of his fingers is clean.
	Right?
	And that was back then, right?
	You still had you don't have face identification to the same degree that you have now in 2023.
	But use his finger to open the phone and open his own.
	That's another level of fucked up.
	Seriously.
	Seriously, dude.
	Holy.
	Didn't find was any evidence that Grant looked up news about what had happened in his neighborhood.
	One of the only things he said that was true was that he didn't look up the news after seeing the news van in his neighborhood.
	He only said he did because he thought it would make him seem less guilty.
	Investigators found a note in Grant's car that read as if Cody had written it.
	It said, Grant, I'll take care of all your problems.
	I just need you back.
	I can't live without you.
	I bro, what?
	Stop the cow.
	Said I'd take care of all your problems at the house, and I have.
	No one will bother you again regarding this.
	Just please come home.
	Uh door get the rocks.
	Hello!
	I can't take this again.
	If you think I'm part of the problem here, then I've really lost you, and I can't take that loss after everything.
	When investigators asked Grant about the note, he claimed that he had written the note to memorialize what Cody had said to him the last time they talked.
	He was trying to make it sound like Cody had taken care of his problems.
	AKA killed his parents, and that he couldn't do it again, aka killed himself.
	Authorities never found the gun that actually fired the bullets that killed the amados.
	But not long before the trial began, Blake Turpin, a friend of Grant and Cody's, made a discovery.
	In the end of May, I stopped a full-time position and then was taking a little sabbatical doing contract work.
	Um a couple weeks in I got antsy and started doing some spring cleaning.
	Um I went into the closet and was getting rid of some older stuff.
	And uh when I picked up the gun boxes, I noticed that one was significantly significantly lighter than it should be.
	Um I opened it up and noticed the firearm and one of the two magazines it came with were missing.
	Like the video, guys, we got 960 likes, 40 more likes, help us get 1000.
	Now did you happen to notice if any ammunition was missing?
	Uh I did as I continued to go through the closet.
	Um I noticed the basket.
	Um I guess when I you buy range ammo, it tends to you know do bulk.
	So usually I buy a thousand rounds and they come in little sealed bags.
	Um one of those bags had been kind of picked open.
	Um, and I went through and double-checked, and there were 94 out of the 100 rounds still in the bag.
	Um I checked the whole closet, moved the shelf under it, didn't see anything lying on the floor.
	Just so we're clear, the bags themselves, they're not like ziplocks, are they Ziploc bags?
	No, no, they're um kind of like heat-sealed closed.
	Correct.
	Okay.
	And uh throughout your years and times you've been shooting, uh, have you ever yourself uh tore a bag open partially like that and taken out just a handful of the bullets?
	No, the ammo that I buy that comes in those bags is like I said, just cheap ranged repackaged ammo.
	Um so when I go to the range, I would take the little ammo can, which is you know, the little bucket, and if I needed to put more, I'd open the bag, dump the whole thing in.
	Um I do have a concealed carry gun, but I don't load it with the range ammo.
	I have a different um nicer bullet that goes in that one.
	He doesn't want to say that they're uh hollow points.
	He had discovered that the gun and ammo was missing at about 10 p.m. and reported it to the police the following morning.
	When authorities learned of the missing gun, they questioned Blake, and he said that only one person had been alone in his bedroom recently.
	When we came back from dinner, um, we had gone out to a uh Japanese restaurant.
	Um and uh on the way back, uh Jericho and uh Grant both had indicated they needed to use the restroom.
	Um Jericho needed to do something a little more substantial, so I asked him to use the hallway bathroom.
	Um Grant, I told him he could go on back to my fancy way of saying that he needed to take a dump.
	You need to do something a little bit more substantial.
	My room and use the restroom.
	So where is the restroom in relation to your room and closet in your home?
	Yep.
	Uh if you walk in the door to my room, it's essentially it's just a square.
	It's the front left corner.
	If you would turn right immediately, the next thing you'd find is the closet door, and just past that is the bathroom.
	So in order to go to the bathroom, one would have to enter your room.
	Correct.
	Where was the Jericho nine millimeter stored in your closet?
	Uh again on the shelving unit I have up there, I have um three guys keep in mind the Jericho was the firearm is the name of the firearm.
	Um and it would be inside of the box that it came in.
	Now how long can you estimate that uh the defendant was up in the area of your room?
	Um I would say no more than ten minutes.
	I was uh playing the game out front with Cody.
	And to your knowledge, was anyone else uh up in your room other than Grant, uh other than Mr. Amato?
	No, that's pretty rare.
	I don't usually send people back there.
	Um I also have a pit bull, um, and I tend to keep my door shut when he's uh when we're home and when I'm not home, um, because I don't like him in there crawling around on the bed.
	It's believed that Grant saw an opportunity to take a gun from Blake's closet, and that's the gun that he used to kill his family.
	That gun has never been recovered.
	During the trial, one of the Amato's neighbors, Jennifer Sawyer, said that sometime on the night of January 24th, at maybe 830 or 930 p.m., she heard gunshots.
	She said she didn't remember exactly how many, but it was less than five.
	She said she brought it up to her husband, but he didn't hear the shots, and he just shrugged it off.
	it wasn't unusual to hear gunshots since they lived in a fairly rural area it's believed that the shots that jennifer heard were when grant took cody's gun outside and fired four rounds to collect the shell casings She wouldn't have heard four rounds altogether when the family was killed because they were all killed some time apart.
	Now I wondered why Grant would fire Cody's gun and swap out the shell casings instead of just using Cody's gun to commit the murders.
	And the only two reasons I can come up with are that Cody had his gun with him, so it wasn't available until he got home, or that Grant was just really dumb.
	Both options seem equally as likely.
	Yeah, I think Grant, just quite frankly, in this case, you stupid because he tried to cover up the crime, but did a terrible job at it.
	He attempted, but really didn't do any due diligence or understands how firearms forensics work.
	Guys, now that I remember another.
	Um he said to her that he thought that this guy Grant was gonna kill his whole family.
	So there you go.
	Oh wait.
	His girl predicted this?
	Yes.
	No.
	Uh Cody told her that he thought Grant would do it.
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	Was that brought up in the trial?
	I don't know.
	You know.
	That's crazy, man.
	So even the brother knew that this guy was gonna do it.
	The defense called him to the stand to testify that he heard gunshots the following morning, but it was a complete clusterfuck.
	When the defense asked him if he heard gunshots the morning of January 25th, he said no.
	When they asked him if he heard a popping sound, he said yes.
	It turned into a bit of an argument between Rodney and the lawyer, who claimed his police report said he heard gunshots.
	He just you guys know, this is an L for the defense, by the way, because, you know, you're thinking he's going to be able to go in there and confirm and give your, you know, your defendant a little bit of wiggle room.
	And he ends up saying, oh, no, I just sounded like popping sounds, which could be anything.
	Corrected the defense that he said he heard three popping noises at about nine o'clock in the morning.
	And he told police that they could have been gunshots, but he didn't hear gunshots.
	He heard popping noises.
	He did confirm that the popping noises came.
	What was that, Andrew?
	Go ahead.
	Because he knows how Ganshan's out.
	Exactly.
	From the direction of the Amato residence, the prosecutor cleared things up pretty quickly.
	What what level or degree of of certainty are you that what you heard were gunshots?
	Do you know what I'm asking?
	If you have like a like a scale of one, you don't know what it is in ten, you're absolutely certain it is were gunshots.
	level of certainty do you think you're at?
	There weren't gunshots.
	There were just popping sounds.
	Now, what a gun sounds like inside a house being discharged, I have no idea.
	But it didn't sound like it.
	it just was just an unusual hearing the popping sounds that early in the morning, then later on, noonish.
	Well, uh, a friend called and said there was a homicide by your house.
	Then I trying to put two to two together.
	Okay, so so when you initially heard them, you didn't think they were gunshots?
	No, sir.
	That early in the morning.
	Could have been a hammer, somebody working around around the property.
	I have no idea.
	The problem with what Rodney heard was that it was supposed to be at around nine o'clock in the morning.
	That was after Cody should have been at work, and it was about the same time that Deputy Moterson was at the Amado home doing a welfare check.
	Deputy Moterson said he banged on the door and pounded on the windows.
	Is it possible that Rodney heard Deputy Moterson trying to get the attention of the Amados?
	It's much more likely than the Amados being shot at 9 a.m. the morning of January 25th.
	To this day, Grant Amato maintains his innocence.
	So, based on the claim that he left the house at about midnight, the prosecution describes what would have needed to happen in the house in order for the murders to not be carried out by Grant.
	Let's say it's at midnight.
	Alright, this is a pretty good summary here.
	So let's check this out.
	Because remember, guys, a lot of the times when you're presenting a case, right?
	Like the YMW Melly case is like this.
	The reason why the state's case is so strong is they were able to take circumstantial evidence and paint it in a way where the circumstantial evidence, when stacked and working together, shows that no other situation could have happened.
	Okay, and that's what the prosecutor's gonna illustrate here.
	Or what, or two or three or four or five, or six?
	What does he find?
	He finds Margaret Amato sitting at her desk.
	We know she's sitting at her desk because dead bodies don't move on their own, sitting at her desk, not doing anything, not doing anything.
	Remember all that testimony about computers?
	The last time a human being touched that computer was 4 44 p.m.
	Remember that?
	4 44 p.m.
	So that means Margaret Amato had to have been sitting at that desk.
	Where am I at?
	Midnight?
	Six hours, just sitting there, doing nothing.
	Intruder walks in, pops her in the back of the head, puts a bullet hole right in the back of her head.
	Now, to play devil's advocate, she could have done other things for six hours and then just happened to sit back down at her computer when she got killed.
	I mean, it's possible.
	Then dead bodies don't move themselves.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Chad the dad.
	Chad, the dad's in the kitchen.
	Now let's talk about that.
	Chad the dad.
	Chad.
	Somehow this intruder kills Margaret, runs across the other side of the house to where Chad is still wearing the clothes he was wearing when he left work.
	Remember that video at CVS?
	He's wearing those jeans, the black shoes, the white shirt, excuse me, the white socks, and I think it was like a gray shirt, a gray brown shirt, right?
	With his lunchbox by the floor.
	So sometime between midnight and 6 a.m.
	Chad is standing in the kitchen with his head facing up to the cabinet.
	We know his head is facing up because if you remember the testimony from the medical examiner yesterday, she said that the trajectory from that bullet was down to up.
	So what is that inference?
	Well, he's probably going towards a cabinet, you know, putting stuff away.
	So he's standing with his head to the cabinet, his back to where the shooter is.
	The shooter comes all the way around the back side of the house.
	And by the way, Chad apparently can't hear.
	Because he didn't hear the bullet ring out with his wife when she got shot.
	And bang, second shot of the knife.
	Bull in the back of his head.
	He goes down.
	It may testify that that first shot wasn't necessarily painful.
	He's still alive.
	And you can see.
	So he kills his.
	You don't need forensics to see those fingers.
	Yeah, that's what it looks like.
	Because the dad comes in later in after uh comes back from work.
	And then you guys can see how the dad was struggling to live.
	Those are his hands.
	His hands are took.
	We'll talk about that later too, because there was one finger there wasn't.
	But anyway.
	This intruder, then.
	Second shot.
	It's important to point out that the prosecutor says that Chad's hands were covered in blood, except for one of his fingers.
	That was the finger that Grant used to unlock Chad's banking app.
	He picked up his dead father's hand, wiped the blood off one finger, and pressed it against his phone.
	Why?
	So he could try to get more money to feed his addiction to a cam girl.
	Then forget, there's three people in the house.
	So now somehow, use your imagination, and we're in the imaginary doubt section of my presentation.
	This intruder materializes immediately across that utility hallway and up against the wall, parallel to where Cody Amato is just hanging out in the garage doorway, wearing the clothes and the badge and his backpack that he was wearing the night before.
	He was standing right there in that doorway.
	Shoots him in the face.
	Then this random intruder finds Cody's gun, goes outside to shoot four rounds, collects the shell casings, and swaps them out for the shell casings from the murders.
	He also rolls Chad's body over and puts a holstered gun backwards on his belt and cleans off one of his fingers.
	He does Yeah, that's definitely a big uh Nope.
	Does all this and leaves the house without taking anything else?
	He doesn't take any firearms, no computers, no wallets, no video game systems, not Margaret's diamond wedding ring, nothing.
	Just kills three people, does some weird shit to the scene, and leaves.
	The other thing that I think points to Grant as the murderer is the chicken.
	Grant told detectives during his interview that his mother had taken some chicken out of the freezer to Defrost for dinner before he was kicked out of the house.
	If he left the house and everything was fine, why was the chicken found on the counter by investigators the next day?
	Why didn't the chicken get cooked, put back, or thrown away?
	There's no reason for that chicken to have not been cooked if Grant didn't kill his family members earlier in the day when authorities theorized he did.
	The fact is that he killed his mother and father before dinner time, which he said was usually around seven PM, and he killed Cody as soon as he walked in the door.
	And because of it, the chick shout out to uh Malik Allen, he said this is definitely a Florida man story.
	If you guys want to have some fun, type in your birthday and then Florida men and Google and see what happens, and you'll see some crazy stuff going on in Florida, bro.
	You never tried that never played that game?
	No.
	It's called the Florida Man game.
	Yeah, type in your birthday.
	Right now?
	Yeah, do go ahead on Google, yeah.
	Type in your birthday.
	Okay.
	And then Florida man and see what happens.
	Probably some wild stuff happened.
	Just my birthday altogether.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Whatever your birthday is, and then put um in Google and then Florida Man.
	Stayed on the counter and never got cooked.
	Grant Amado was found guilty of three counts of first degree premeditated murder.
	He was eligible for the death penalty, but the jury wasn't able to come to Alright.
	So this is what happens when Angie puts her birthday in.
	Uh okay.
	Florida man fell guilty in 2021 sexual battery armed.

	Oh, okay, okay, yeah.
	L L Angie.
	Thanks for giving my birthday away.
	Yeah, well, no one cares anyway.
	To a unanimous decision, the judge sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
	Of course, Grant Amato's defense lawyers have filed an appeal to the conviction, citing ten little nitpicky complaints about decisions that the judge made during the trial.
	I haven't found any news of a decision by the district court of appeals, but the whole thing seems pretty weak.
	If you're the victim of domestic abuse, please reach out to someone for help to come to a unanimous decision.
