Grant Amato was arrested nine hours after his interrogation at a hotel in Orlando [00:27:38], [00:51:30].
Trial
Grant Amato’s trial commenced on August 12, 2019 [00:51:33].
Prosecution’s Argument
The prosecution argued that the case revolved around Grant’s “blind obsession” with a cam model named Sylvie [00:52:30]. This obsession led to “absolute contempt” for his family, whom he held responsible for his circumstances [00:52:45].
A key piece of evidence presented during the trial highlighted his actions shortly after the murders:
“At 2:53 A.M. on January 25th, after leaving the house that contained the three dead bodies of his family, the defendant goes to a nearby Publix parking lot, logs onto their Wi-Fi, and uses his dead brother’s USA checking account to pay $599.99 to get on to Sylvie’s website at 3:02 in the morning.” [00:51:45]
This act of using his deceased brother’s credit card to access a cam site moments after the killings was presented as central to the crime details and investigation [00:52:25].
Sentencing
Grant Amato was ultimately sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole [00:52:55].
