When he calls his girlfriend’s daughters HIS daughters, he SHOWS how much love his stepdad showed him. He wanted those girls to love him the way he loved his dad chad. My heart goes out to Jason.
It's hard for me to believe that step parents care about step kids. Cause im a step kid and my stepdad is evil incarnate. It makes me have a tiny bit of hope when I see people like jason and Chad
@@pinkpugginz I'm so sorry to hear that! My stepdad is my dad to me. He has been amazing. Even with him coming into our lives with no children of his own. I was 6 and my brother was 9 and our dad has loved us through it all. He is an amazing Pops to me and my brother's kids too. There are some stepparents that treat their stepkids like they should be treated. I hate your experience wasnt good.
It does kinda suck that his kids will have to eventually contend with the fact that their Dad is gay, but he's clearly a loving father to his kids, and the fact that they're step-kids is even more honorable.
Yeah I saw ZERO REMORSE FOR WHAT HE DID !! His brother was devastated on the stand, and he should have atleast cared for and about his surviving brother !! If his brother and Dad were torturing him and stalking him why didn't he just sneak and buy a ticket to somewhere far far away !! He could have gotten the hell away if he wanted to instead of killing them all !! Why did he kill his Mom ? That part of this blows my mind !! Didn't he even love his own Mother ?? Such a horrible horrible crime !! This is exactly why you don't try to control your children once they are grown, make them move out and make their own mistakes !! Not that most kids or adults are this damn crazy ! He did all this for a woman he could see on a screen !! CRAZY !!
And even though Chad was his only father figure... That means at some point in his life, it would have been just him (Jason) and his mom. So he lost everything. Such a tragedy that absolutely didn't need to happen. Ugh. Horrible
I know right? in the interrogation with the camera being located on the ceiling it gave us quite the view. I've never seen someone with such a horizontally oval head. Definitely bizarre. Hed have been better off to have taken that 200 grand & used a tiny portion for hair transplants. I cant imagine losing that much hair in my 20s
God, that story about them watching outside of their Aunt’s house to make sure Grant didn’t leave is heartbreaking. That entire family loved him so much they spent 12 hour shifts just making sure Grant was safe. They truly loved him, and he destroyed every single one of them.
Not to mention they begged the extended family to not call the police on Grant because they wanted him to change without a prison sentence. And the father Chad said that they would pay back the money Grant stole
Fascinating that Margaret and Chad Amato raised three sons - two were decent, loving boys but the youngest, Grant, turned out a ruthless psychopath who loved nobody but himself, and murdered the three people closest to him in cold blood. How did that happen??? Jason is a credible witness who says there was no abuse in the family. It appears all three boys were loved and well cared for in a secure and loving home. So why did Jason turn out so different to his brothers? This case adds credence to the theory that psychopaths are born, not made.
@@growinglifeorganic940 nah man. Check out and go to "Jim Can't Swim" RUclips channel. He does break downs of police interrogations. He breaks down the interrogation techniques, criminal body language, and other interesting parts of police interrogations. He did one about Grant Amoto. Grant literally spent his famimlies entire life savings. 200,000, on a cam girl. Mooched off his family for living expenses and didn't pay rent or help out. And he believed a cam girl he paid for by the minute , whom he told he was a millionaire, was in love with him. He has serious social problems. Problems about knowing what is right and wrong. And even if he knows what is wrong. He has no issues with doing wrong. No guilt. Also has serious issues understanding relationships. Grant is very much guilty. Even if Jason had problems with his family relationships. That doesn't mean some conspiracy is going on. Grant, in the original police interrogation, easily said he wasnt close to Jason, because he was adopted. Instead of saying Jason is his brother. Grant said in the interrogation, "he is adopted. He is my mom's son", Grant couldn't easily call him his brother. Grant killed his family. He is messed up in the head. And he is very manipulative. Very manipulative.
@@glamdolly30 psychopaths are born. But not all psychopaths hurt others or murder people. But psychopaths are more likely to be criminals than non psychopaths. But this Grant guy. I'm not sure what diagnosis he has. If he is a literal psychopath or not. But he is definitely a murderer. He also had previously spent his famimlies entire life savings. He felt no guilt or shame for doing so. That should have been a red flag for his family.
@@claudeyaz Yes, I tend to agree Grant has to be a psychopath and sadly his family failed to set down and maintain boundaries with him. That made him a dangerous psychopath. You are right, not all psychopaths become killers - some are successful captains of industry and the like. I believe the current theory is psychopaths are created by a combination of nature and nurture. The brains of psychopaths have been studied and they were found to be different. They have weaker neurological pathways to the areas controlling emotions like love, guilt, empathy etc. If a psychopath has a good, loving childhood with clear boundaries and good values, they can turn out decent members of society who do no harm. But a psychopathic brain, coupled with a poor childhood - ie one featuring abuse or, as in the case of Grant Amato, indulgence, can produce a dangerous individual. The Amato family is a very interesting example for psychiatric study. I hope experts will make use of Grant while he spends the rest of his life in prison, and study his brain and learn more about his upbringing. By all accounts the father Chad was a strict disciplinarian, which suggests Grant was given boundaries. Why did he grow up to feel entitled to steal his father's $200k retirement fund, and then entitled to kill his family when they set down rules about continuing to live in their house? As his surviving brother told him when he visited him in the police interrogation - they could have had him jailed for what he did. And now it's clear they made a big mistake in not doing so.
Go to "Jim Can't Swim" RUclips channel. He does break downs of police interrogations. He did one about Grant Amoto. It is super well done and super creepy.
Sad face? He looks like a sneaky character. He always looks surprised because of his eyebrows, and if he cut the rest of that fluff on the top of his head off he would look a lot more "proper", for lack of a better word. I know a few people which I also know their sibling(s) and it boggles me how drastically different they can be, especially if they were raised in the same home.
And with style, too. His hair is perfect on him. His choice of the bright plaid tie, and of the blue jacket over the more staid-and-expected black or dark blue, was terrific in my book.
@howdyhowdyhow A guilty conscience about what exactly?? all's I said was if you aren't Jason that you are a complete piece of s*** if you're pretending to be him, which is true, anybody that pretends to be the victim is a complete piece of trash, like you for instance, you keep dancing around everybody's questions, and then you attack anybody that says anything different. Maybe it's you that has a guilty conscience hmmm??
The poor guy. He's still talking about his family in the present tense, like he hasn't really adjusted to the fact that they are gone. Whereas Grant started using past tense even while he was still playing dumb.
As if the experience were not bad enough now he has to sit in the same room as his murderous brother and let him see him fall apart. I don't like how court puts victims in that situation.
@@SuperZytoon Not that it takes away such a massive loss for him but there are now support groups for people who have lived through losing loved ones to murder. It's hard for other people to fully understand what they feel or be willing to listen to them talk about it for as long as they need to.
Jason is such a good man, when he talked about “his daughters” my heart melted coz he is their stepdad but he see them as his. What a terrible way for him to lose his family. I hope he can live a good life.
He probably collected a good bit of life insurance so that will help. His problem will be his big heart. If/when his brother gets out, he will take him right in. He needs to write that POS off. He's toxic.
Bob Bastion I don’t believe so. He even said the day they got Grant in for investigation that he could not take him in because he was scared of him. He didn’t believe his brother didn’t do it, even before actual evidence was found. Now that it’s a fact Grant did this, I don’t think he can ever trust him again. Fortunately, Grant is in prison for life, he will never have to deal with him.
Jason describing his relationship to his parents made me tear up. How tragic. How wrong. The family did nothing but love and care for Grant and he took that all away.
For people down here commenting on how this guy can just sit there watching his brother go trough this without showing emotion. He killed his family!! Wtf do you expect.
@@brittanygidley1291 ... he’s a narcissistic sociopath. Sociopaths/psychopaths have reduced connections between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that’s responsible for sentiments such as empathy and guilt. That is lacking and is why Grant Amato does not give a ‘ flying fruit cake’ as to what he did to his family and can sit there amid what he feels are his colleagues as if tending a seminar ... pos!
After murdering his dad and mom, he texted his brother using his dad's phone to lure him to the house, then shot him. He is one cold, disconnected freak.
Jason Amato if you read these comments you will see we all think highly of you. Hope you are healing day by day. You are a fine man and we are sorry that you had to endure this horrific tragedy. Take care of yourself and your family. ❤️
hope he reads these comments one day, if he's ever able to watch videos about their case. He has so much support from people all over the country, and he deserves every bit of it.
My heart aches for Jason. He not only lost his Mom and Dad, but both his brothers at the same time. If you watch the confession when Jason comes in to talk to Grant he tells him he loves him but he doesn't want him around him because he is afraid. He also tells him that he has to plan 3 funerals and he doesn't feel like Grant has a right to help him. He has to make his families final arrangements with no support. He has to go through his families belongings without his brother!! How horrible that must feel!!
If he wasn’t a psycho sociopath I would def gone out with him if he was gay. He’s hot af. A lot of the gay community is thirsty for him it’s unreal. If there’s this amount of gay dudes who want him, I can’t imagine the amount of girls would wanna go out with him
@@kristinebailey2804you should watch jim can't swim , he has Grant's interrogation and Jason is allowed in to see him and talk to him. It's very good but poor Jason I'm sure was thinking this while talking to Grant
"Are you uh- did you uh- did um, was the uh- hmm maybe i just asked this but uh, did you um, were the uh..." This is a poor command of language and low quality prosecutor.
J E This is such an interesting case but he is making it miserable to watch. And omg all the long silences while he shuffles his notes around and figures out his next question- all of this should be WELL prepared for! I don’t know why they don’t let the younger prosecutor handle all of the witnesses.
My heart goes out to the brother, he seems like such a kind and honest person. Such a horrifying and sad situation, I can’t imagine what he is going through.
Bailey Sarian has a popular RUclips channel and she tells about different murders while doing her makeup and things like that. I adore Bailey’s channel! She’s so much fun to listen to...it’s like listening to a story from your best friend.
As a mother my heart aches for this young man his poor eyes look like he's had so many troubled sleepless nights. May he find some peace in his life. Sending love to him
Watching Jason try to control his emotions is truly heartbreaking. This sweet guy lost his entire family in one night. I wish I could just hug him. I can’t understand how Grant can sit there with a blank stare while his brothers heartbreak and emotions are so apparent. I hope Jason can find some peace. I could never forgive my brother is he did this. I wonder if Jason has any contact with Grant now.
@@leetheflea4096 he pretty much convinced the prosecutor not to pursue the death penalty because Grant was all that was left of his family and he didn't want to lose any more of his family forever.
@@kingayy9267 how crazy is it that he had such a loving and supportive family... Something many of us wish we had, and yet he blew it all away over a virtual prostitute....
He seems very genuine..it’s shaping up like a kid who was a jerk and dad laid down the law and he didn’t like it so he took care of him and mom and other brother were collateral damage...so sad for Jason, he has been left to clean up all the mess Grant created
It must be very difficult for Jason to know that he too would have been dead if he was there that day. What an odd and terrible feeling for him. So sad. He's got an entire life to live without his entire family.
@@vickiekasafirek9096 The other trial is crazy annoying and long !!! The foster parents trial ! Im just ready for that to be over 2 weeks ago 😥😥 such a sad case !!!
Watching the brother broke my heart and made me cry. Just in a blink his brother took the whole family out! Grant has no soul nor emotions. My prayers goes out to the brother!
It's probably even tougher for Jason knowing Grant would have taken him away from his daughters had he been in that house. This tragedy is a whole different level of evil and it's just downright unfair! Disgraceful!
for real... seems like he struggles to get his thoughts together. He jumps around from topic to topic at random. "I may have already asked this i dont remember but just to be sure I did let me repeat myself..."( bro that was like 10 seconds ago!) Lots of shuffling papers like he was lost on where to go next with the witness. did he approach him with the wrong evidence at once point and have to walk back to his desk?...Nothing was smooth and sharp about his lawyer's delivery of the questions or of his ability at making any of it make sense. Looks like his first time up at the stand when it clearly was not
backtothefuture1066 This is not normal lawyer behavior, and you’d know that if you’d ever been to or watched even one other trial. He is way out of his depth here. As are you, it appears.
Oh my gosh. My heart is breaking watching Jason Amato’s testimony. What a wonderful man. I can’t imagine the grief and trauma he has been forced to experience due to his half-brother’s crimes. The devastation is unbearable. 😥
@Bobby Dools It wasn't a picnic for the cops, either. They had to discover the horrific bloody scene. GA shot his mom in the face. Was her brain matter on the computer? Did one of her eyes dangle out of its socket? Whatever it looked like, Stephen King couldn't write it better.
God, they loved the killer so much, they wanted him to get treatment but a sociopath/narcissist feels they know it all and that their feelings are so much more important. God bless Jason for his dignified handling of this tragedy. Grant needs to stay locked up. The world is currently not quite able to help people with his delusions.
I feel SO horrible for Jason. He told his brother he was terrified of him, because he said he knew he killed his parents and brother, and has two stepdaughters and their mother to support, who depend on him, and that he couldn't trust even being in the same room with Grant until he was presented with evidence of Grant's innocence. Absolutely heartbreaking. Edit; The contrast between the two brothers is STAGGERING. Jason is on the witness stand, fighting through tears to describe the events surrounding his initial contact with the police after learning what happened to his family. How they shut down his place of employment completely, searched his vehicle and his house, and essentially turned his entire world upside down trying to figure out what was going on. Meanwhile, Grant is sitting there listening, looking STONE-faced, seemingly unmoved at all hearing his brother's account of suffering the consequences of somebody else's actions. Even during the interrogation footage, Grant doesn't show any emotions. It's like the violent deaths of his parents and his own brother just brush right off of him. He's totally unaffected. This, folks, is what we call a "HUGE red flag." lol I can understand someone being resentful about his father. Because of the strict rules he was forced to live by in order to keep living under their roof. But, only a stone cold KILLER would shrug off this much empathy and not at least appear to feel bad for what his last surviving brother had to go through because of him. It's staggering how apparently he just doesn't care.
Im struggling with this right now. My dad is the victim who barely survived and my brother the offender. It’s awful how it tears your heart to pieces. My dad talks about one day having my brother home and still keeps his room nice and cleaned all his clothes for his return. Me, amongst others including professionals don’t think my brother will ever be able to rehabilitate because he has no empathy for what he did.
Chad laid down some pretty strict rules for Grant and they honestly were more like rules that would be given to a kid 13 or 14 years old. However, if Grant didn't like the rules (and he didn't) he was TWENTY-NINE years old. Just get out of the house! But of course if he moved out he would have to support himself and he was apparently horrified at the very thought of doing such a thing as that. Mom and Dad (and Cody) made a GRAVE mistake when they moved heaven and earth to keep him out of prison when he stole money and apparently moved large amounts of cash to the point that he had the FBI looking into the possibility that he was guilty of money laundering. It's a pity they didn't allow him to face the consequences for that earlier crime because if they had, he would have been safely locked up somewhere, unable to contact his dearly beloved camgirl and unable to murder his family! Making sure a son or daughter NEVER has to be accountable for any misdeed, very rarely ever turns out to be a good thing but sadly many parents don't seem to understand this.
I mostly agree, except for 1:02:30. It's the only time I can recall in the trial where Grant doesn't look dismissive or disinterested. For just a moment, I think Grant felt shame. Perhaps not for the killings, but for Jason's pain in that moment.
God bless you Jason Amato ! May He give you the strength and courage through this ordeal. Your mom and dad will be very proud of you for who you are and what you have become. God bless you dear one!❤️
She’s taking personal notes for her own recollection/use for presiding over the case. In case you ask, the court reporter is for making an entire transcription of every word said.
Keto Katt i know I caught that too, and oddly enough almost the exact same thought came into my mind (about him being adorable and hoping he’s hanging in there). Something about him just seems so kind hearted and gentle.
There is something so wholesome and honest about Jason, it's almost like you instantly trust him. I can see he is such a wonderful person even without knowing him. I don't know how to explain it.
The way Grant stared at Jason sent shivers down my spine 😥 I really do feel for Jason, I hope he still has or had the support he needed to get through such a traumatic experience.
Leave it to Florida police to treat the victim like a 100% suspect, making a scene and *shutting down his work* to detain him in front of everybody for questioning.
Bonnie Nelson grant would have gone after Jason without a doubt. That’s why Jason mentions it in the room when he speaks with grant, no doubt police came to the same conclusion. There’s no way grant would want to split the inheritance with his brother Jason.
Totally agree. He looks broken, poor man. Even more tragic, he looks like his brother should look, and his brother just sits looking at him as if he's wondering what it feels like to feel like he does.
My heart breaks for Jason. He seems like such a sweet soul. To have to deal with the aftermath of all his brothers actions. Now, I imagine he will visit his brother in jail for the rest of his life. He will never be able to put this horror to rest. If he ever could.
Jason seems like such a great guy. In his brothers interrogation when Jason is brought in to talk to Grant, one of the things Jason brings up is that his brother Cody is not an organ donor, so there would be people needing organs who would be missing out but Jason can’t make that call. This poor guy just lost his parents and his brother Cody and in a sense he was also losing Grant, and he was still showing empathy for total strangers. Im so sorry Jason
My heart breaks for Jason. He looks so exhausted and stressed. Collateral damage. He's such a good guy and doesn't deserve to have to carry this weight!
Look at him trying to be all mature sitting in a suit and tie looking serious as he writes during the proceedings. Yet he could not hold a job. He was manipulated out thousands of dollars by a webcam girl and thought they had a "relationship". He stole that money from his parents and brother. Yes...very mature....very serious... Look at him sitting there. If we did not knew the circumstances and background he would look like a serious man. What a suit, tie and pen and paper can hide.
James Mitchell It’s a mighty fair assumption of someone who shot his mom, dad, and brother in the head execution style. He’s about as sick in the head as you can get. Are u one of those online trolls who loves to stick up for murderers?
@@DarlingBo-bannie She dont care, it all about money, i have friend who steal all his sibling and parent money and he dont care about it with no regret, then he give to girl who claim to love him, and girl disappeared
@@DarlingBo-bannie She's still camming under the name AdaJoyce or something. I saw her twitter account, she tries to hide any mention of the crime but people still bring it up. Doesn't seem like she cares too much about it.
I always wonder how they feel about each other when they look at each other in a court room like this... like he killed your whole family .. but he’s also the only other person that shares those memories with you. You two are the only ones left with those memories. Would he have killed you to? Does he regret it? Wonder how awkward it is in there
I'm having trouble understanding how immature GA seems as a 30 year old man. His older brother moved out for college, yet the two younger brothers never did. Just seems odd, idk
It's called a failure to launch. Grant could have gotten a hair transplant, went to the gym, got a job and moved out, then looked for women to date. Too late now his life is done....over.
The strangest thing just happened... I was watching this trial and then I opened the fridge to grab a Coke that I had purchased earlier on in the day... it says share a Coke with grant on it! Why?????
It wasn't a moment of utter madness, he stayed in the house with his dead mother and waited for his father to get home, then killed him, then again waited with both his dead parents for his brother to get home and shot him point blank in the face as soon as he came through the door. After he did all those things he even tried to frame his father and used their cold dead hands to unlock their phones. Dude planned it out and then tried covering it up, this was much more than a moment of madness and he should've been given the death penalty.
The brother that is still alive really is handling himself like a champ. Definitely polished. And how he acted at the police station. Just a well rounded dud
God, seeing Jason like this just breaks my heart! Life is so unfair. I feel for you, man. I dont think anyone can have an idea what you are going through. Sorry to have you displayed on the internet in this vulnerable emotional state. I started to feel shame halfway through so I stopped watching. I hope you will find solace and comfort soon .
This prosecutor is terrible, worst one that i have ever seen out of hundreds of cases! The best prosecutor I have ever seen is the Chandler Halderson case!
@@KS-bo7rm GA had motive and opportunity. He staged the scene to make it look like Cody killed everyone then killed himself. No one else would do that. There was no evidence of a break-in. Nothing was taken. GA used Chad's phone to link GA's bank account with Chad's right after the murders, and he paid $599.99 in order to regain access to Syvie's (sp?) website. GA is the epitome of a loser. Pushing 30. Still living at home. No job. No prospects. He looks like a ghoul out of a black-and-white horror movie. But there's yet another horror. Because of GA and others like him, Planned Parenthood can look at a conflicted pregnant woman and say, "What if you give birth, but it grows up and kills you?"
This is a very wealthy intelligent family. I can't imagine being that rich. I think he is a nice caring brother.I just can't imagine the pain he is going through telling what he found in the house .They sounded so happy as CHILDREN. So sad for Jason. I hope he will be alright. This is a difficult case.
I wouldn't say they were wealthy, upper middle class definitely, but they were all educated and had jobs in their field of study. I mean the dad was unable to retire because $200,000 was stolen, that's far from wealthy.
That was some heart breaking testimony .. my heart really goes out to him ( Jason) I too am glad he has his wife and daughters to go home to.. wow may God bless him
If Cornerstone indeed said to Mrs. Amato that they had done everything they could for grant and he longer needed treatment, I wonder if they could be sued since Grant went home and killed almost all of his family?
Jennifer Williams I mean do we have to find an excuse to suck money out of everyone? Can’t grant just own up and have his sentence and that be it? Seems so unnecessary
My God the poor brother.I feel soooo sorry for him.He lost everybody he loves.I am so sorry for him.what a strong man sitting there being very STRONG going to those Questions.God bless him .
God he just breaks my heart. Had me in tears when they asked about his mother’s ring. I pray god gives him the strength to get through this. Poor guy. And I agree with the person who said I hope he gets all the inheritance he is a good son and brother. And that’s awesome how his dad came in his life when he was small and he is now fathering two girls in the same way. My three sons bio dad ran off and later was murdered, my husband came in when our 10yr o twins were turning five and my six year old was under a year old so I get how special that is. You watch your little boy watch all the daddies playing ball with their sons and as a mom u try to put your daddy hat on and replace that blank gaping hole but nothing can be as great of a blessing as when a man stands up and volunteers to be that person in a little boy or girls life. God bless him and his family.
Jason is a really cool dude. I want to know him. He seems so helpful and quite a character. I hate to think what he's going through. He also has a really great voice!
I feel so sad for Jason. He lost his family over something so ridiculous. If he was there, or anyone else, Grant would have probably killed them too because he held his fantasy over everything and everyone. I hope one day he finds peace.
Jason is a very well spoken young man. He did a good job and even managed to recover well from almost crying when being asked questions about his Mother's wedding ring. Too bad these seemingly decent people had this one POS son, Grant! What a wierd looking dude too!!
imagine you have no hair, and your brother have this awsome hair style ?! There is tension right there, jason was a real target he got lucky he was in difrent place.
It’s so sad to see the excruciating pain on his face when talking about his family and “the incident”. This poor man seems like just a good, gentle dude.
When he calls his girlfriend’s daughters HIS daughters, he SHOWS how much love his stepdad showed him. He wanted those girls to love him the way he loved his dad chad. My heart goes out to Jason.
I thought this too
It's hard for me to believe that step parents care about step kids. Cause im a step kid and my stepdad is evil incarnate. It makes me have a tiny bit of hope when I see people like jason and Chad
@@pinkpugginz I'm so sorry to hear that! My stepdad is my dad to me. He has been amazing. Even with him coming into our lives with no children of his own. I was 6 and my brother was 9 and our dad has loved us through it all. He is an amazing Pops to me and my brother's kids too.
There are some stepparents that treat their stepkids like they should be treated. I hate your experience wasnt good.
Chad was his step dad? Why did Jason call cody and his dad assholes tho?
It does kinda suck that his kids will have to eventually contend with the fact that their Dad is gay, but he's clearly a loving father to his kids, and the fact that they're step-kids is even more honorable.
I feel so bad for the brother. He lost everyone and his killer brother is just sitting there with a stupid stare on his face
The brother should get 30 days for the ridiculous hairstyle
varsume lol with as sad as it is watching this guy, I had to laugh at this comment 😂
varsume 😂😂
Yeah I saw ZERO REMORSE FOR WHAT HE DID !! His brother was devastated on the stand, and he should have atleast cared for and about his surviving brother !! If his brother and Dad were torturing him and stalking him why didn't he just sneak and buy a ticket to somewhere far far away !! He could have gotten the hell away if he wanted to instead of killing them all !! Why did he kill his Mom ? That part of this blows my mind !! Didn't he even love his own Mother ?? Such a horrible horrible crime !! This is exactly why you don't try to control your children once they are grown, make them move out and make their own mistakes !! Not that most kids or adults are this damn crazy ! He did all this for a woman he could see on a screen !! CRAZY !!
And even though Chad was his only father figure... That means at some point in his life, it would have been just him (Jason) and his mom. So he lost everything. Such a tragedy that absolutely didn't need to happen. Ugh. Horrible
It's polite of all of the witnesses to identify Grant by his color of tie and not by his bulbous shiny alien head.
Definitely the elephant in the room
The interrogator cop id him by his head hHhahaa
@@HumanHamCube Where is this clip? I havent seen it.

The ones that are left alive . Will now suffer a life of sadness.
Tragic story.
Why did they watch him?? What did he do before this killing
His brother is breaking down testifying while he just sits there with a blank stare and no emotion whatsoever. Unbelievable.
Grant looks dead inside.
Fascinating that Margaret and Chad Amato raised three sons - two were decent, loving boys but the youngest, Grant, turned out a ruthless psychopath who loved nobody but himself, and murdered the three people closest to him in cold blood. How did that happen???
Jason is a credible witness who says there was no abuse in the family. It appears all three boys were loved and well cared for in a secure and loving home. So why did Jason turn out so different to his brothers?
This case adds credence to the theory that psychopaths are born, not made.
@@growinglifeorganic940 nah man. Check out and go to "Jim Can't Swim" RUclips channel. He does break downs of police interrogations. He breaks down the interrogation techniques, criminal body language, and other interesting parts of police interrogations.
He did one about Grant Amoto. Grant literally spent his famimlies entire life savings. 200,000, on a cam girl. Mooched off his family for living expenses and didn't pay rent or help out. And he believed a cam girl he paid for by the minute , whom he told he was a millionaire, was in love with him.
He has serious social problems. Problems about knowing what is right and wrong. And even if he knows what is wrong. He has no issues with doing wrong. No guilt.
Also has serious issues understanding relationships.
Grant is very much guilty. Even if Jason had problems with his family relationships. That doesn't mean some conspiracy is going on. Grant, in the original police interrogation, easily said he wasnt close to Jason, because he was adopted. Instead of saying Jason is his brother. Grant said in the interrogation, "he is adopted. He is my mom's son", Grant couldn't easily call him his brother.
Grant killed his family. He is messed up in the head. And he is very manipulative. Very manipulative.
@@glamdolly30 psychopaths are born. But not all psychopaths hurt others or murder people. But psychopaths are more likely to be criminals than non psychopaths.
But this Grant guy. I'm not sure what diagnosis he has. If he is a literal psychopath or not. But he is definitely a murderer. He also had previously spent his famimlies entire life savings. He felt no guilt or shame for doing so. That should have been a red flag for his family.
@@claudeyaz Yes, I tend to agree Grant has to be a psychopath and sadly his family failed to set down and maintain boundaries with him. That made him a dangerous psychopath. You are right, not all psychopaths become killers - some are successful captains of industry and the like. I believe the current theory is psychopaths are created by a combination of nature and nurture. The brains of psychopaths have been studied and they were found to be different. They have weaker neurological pathways to the areas controlling emotions like love, guilt, empathy etc. If a psychopath has a good, loving childhood with clear boundaries and good values, they can turn out decent members of society who do no harm. But a psychopathic brain, coupled with a poor childhood - ie one featuring abuse or, as in the case of Grant Amato, indulgence, can produce a dangerous individual.
The Amato family is a very interesting example for psychiatric study. I hope experts will make use of Grant while he spends the rest of his life in prison, and study his brain and learn more about his upbringing. By all accounts the father Chad was a strict disciplinarian, which suggests Grant was given boundaries. Why did he grow up to feel entitled to steal his father's $200k retirement fund, and then entitled to kill his family when they set down rules about continuing to live in their house?
As his surviving brother told him when he visited him in the police interrogation - they could have had him jailed for what he did. And now it's clear they made a big mistake in not doing so.
You can just tell right off the bat that Jason is a decent dude 😩
You should watch Grant's interrogation, when Jason comes in, if you haven't yet. He is a good dude.
I agree. True Crime Loser intimated in his video on the case that Jason was not treated well by Chad, but is by all accounts, a lovely man.

What a great man . Sorry Jason . Entire thing tragic
Sad face? He looks like a sneaky character. He always looks surprised because of his eyebrows, and if he cut the rest of that fluff on the top of his head off he would look a lot more "proper", for lack of a better word.
I know a few people which I also know their sibling(s) and it boggles me how drastically different they can be, especially if they were raised in the same home.

yhhhhhh
yup
MEEE!! Down the rabbit hole
Umm mee

That has to be so emotionally draining for him to go through this. He condicted himself with strength and sensitivity.
And with style, too. His hair is perfect on him. His choice of the bright plaid tie, and of the blue jacket over the more staid-and-expected black or dark blue, was terrific in my book.
Well said.
So strong and handles the situation with such good energy with all that he is going through

A guilty conscience about what exactly?? all's I said was if you aren't Jason that you are a complete piece of s*** if you're pretending to be him, which is true, anybody that pretends to be the victim is a complete piece of trash, like you for instance, you keep dancing around everybody's questions, and then you attack anybody that says anything different. Maybe it's you that has a guilty conscience hmmm??
The poor guy. He's still talking about his family in the present tense, like he hasn't really adjusted to the fact that they are gone. Whereas Grant started using past tense even while he was still playing dumb.
This brother is so broken, hard to watch him relive this nightmare.
As if the experience were not bad enough now he has to sit in the same room as his murderous brother and let him see him fall apart. I don't like how court puts victims in that situation.
❤️😭 Him crying when he talked about his mother’s wedding ring
He must be so alone. Who can he share his pain and grief with?
@@SuperZytoon he is in a long term relationship (11yrs) with a woman and two (l think) daughters. Hope he finds some comfort there. Poor man.
@@SuperZytoon Not that it takes away such a massive loss for him but there are now support groups for people who have lived through losing loved ones to murder. It's hard for other people to fully understand what they feel or be willing to listen to them talk about it for as long as they need to.
Jason is such a good man, when he talked about “his daughters” my heart melted coz he is their stepdad but he see them as his. What a terrible way for him to lose his family. I hope he can live a good life.
He also did the same about Cody.. his stepbrother but didn't love him any the less
He probably collected a good bit of life insurance so that will help. His problem will be his big heart. If/when his brother gets out, he will take him right in. He needs to write that POS off. He's toxic.
Bob Bastion I don’t believe so. He even said the day they got Grant in for investigation that he could not take him in because he was scared of him. He didn’t believe his brother didn’t do it, even before actual evidence was found. Now that it’s a fact Grant did this, I don’t think he can ever trust him again. Fortunately, Grant is in prison for life, he will never have to deal with him.

Jason describing his relationship to his parents made me tear up. How tragic. How wrong. The family did nothing but love and care for Grant and he took that all away.
For people down here commenting on how this guy can just sit there watching his brother go trough this without showing emotion. He killed his family!! Wtf do you expect.
he knew was he was doing and he doesn’t care that’s why he isn’t showing emotions.
@@brittanygidley1291 ... he’s a narcissistic sociopath. Sociopaths/psychopaths have reduced connections between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that’s responsible for sentiments such as empathy and guilt.
That is lacking and is why Grant Amato does not give a ‘ flying fruit cake’ as to what he did to his family and can sit there amid what he feels are his colleagues as if tending a seminar ... pos!
After murdering his dad and mom, he texted his brother using his dad's phone to lure him to the house, then shot him. He is one cold, disconnected freak.
his only Emotion he Show was when he cruely murdered them .
Jason Amato if you read these comments you will see we all think highly of you. Hope you are healing day by day. You are a fine man and we are sorry that you had to endure this horrific tragedy. Take care of yourself and your family. ❤️

My heart aches for Jason. He not only lost his Mom and Dad, but both his brothers at the same time. If you watch the confession when Jason comes in to talk to Grant he tells him he loves him but he doesn't want him around him because he is afraid. He also tells him that he has to plan 3 funerals and he doesn't feel like Grant has a right to help him. He has to make his families final arrangements with no support. He has to go through his families belongings without his brother!! How horrible that must feel!!
It is noticeable how calm Jason is in that interview. He never gets angry with Grant. He is actually kind to Grant.
All that money he spent on that stupid cam girl he could have got a hair transplant and got a real girlfriend
I don't see how a creepy unemployed loser would get a real girlfriend. He can throw money around but she would only be attracted to the money
The lack of hair wasn’t the problem.
I think him being a psychopath is why he never had a girlfriend lol
Should be top comment
If he wasn’t a psycho sociopath I would def gone out with him if he was gay. He’s hot af. A lot of the gay community is thirsty for him it’s unreal. If there’s this amount of gay dudes who want him, I can’t imagine the amount of girls would wanna go out with him
Grant must be so jealous and resentful that Jason has a head full of hair! Teehee.
Jason has it all now except his loving family. Grant looks much older than the brothers.
Cody had hair too. Grant was the bald sheep, I guess.

This poor guy (his surviving brother). I can’t imagine what he’s going through but he is handling it as best as anyone could.
It's probably even tougher for Jason knowing Grant would have taken him away from his daughters had he been in that house. This tragedy is a whole different level of evil and it's just downright unfair! Disgraceful!
Is this trial being held in a giant elevator? Looks like the witness could reach over and send everyone to the 3rd floor

Cate Ellington lol...this isn’t the movies. In Real life trials every detail is deliberated and examined.
Dante Goodman Yep. This is a pretty standard exchange for a _real_ trial.
for real... seems like he struggles to get his thoughts together. He jumps around from topic to topic at random. "I may have already asked this i dont remember but just to be sure I did let me repeat myself..."( bro that was like 10 seconds ago!) Lots of shuffling papers like he was lost on where to go next with the witness. did he approach him with the wrong evidence at once point and have to walk back to his desk?...Nothing was smooth and sharp about his lawyer's delivery of the questions or of his ability at making any of it make sense. Looks like his first time up at the stand when it clearly was not
backtothefuture1066 This is not normal lawyer behavior, and you’d know that if you’d ever been to or watched even one other trial. He is way out of his depth here. As are you, it appears.

The prosecutor is having a hard time interviewing Jason.
@Bobby Dools It wasn't a picnic for the cops, either. They had to discover the horrific bloody scene. GA shot his mom in the face. Was her brain matter on the computer? Did one of her eyes dangle out of its socket? Whatever it looked like, Stephen King couldn't write it better.

Love and strength to Jason Amato, what a lovely guy. I’m glad he has his own family so he’s not alone. 💕
His partner and their kids are lucky to have him.
He's a sweet man.
May the Amatos rest in peace.
God, they loved the killer so much, they wanted him to get treatment but a sociopath/narcissist feels they know it all and that their feelings are so much more important. God bless Jason for his dignified handling of this tragedy. Grant needs to stay locked up. The world is currently not quite able to help people with his delusions.
I feel SO horrible for Jason. He told his brother he was terrified of him, because he said he knew he killed his parents and brother, and has two stepdaughters and their mother to support, who depend on him, and that he couldn't trust even being in the same room with Grant until he was presented with evidence of Grant's innocence.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
Edit; The contrast between the two brothers is STAGGERING. Jason is on the witness stand, fighting through tears to describe the events surrounding his initial contact with the police after learning what happened to his family. How they shut down his place of employment completely, searched his vehicle and his house, and essentially turned his entire world upside down trying to figure out what was going on.
Meanwhile, Grant is sitting there listening, looking STONE-faced, seemingly unmoved at all hearing his brother's account of suffering the consequences of somebody else's actions.
Even during the interrogation footage, Grant doesn't show any emotions. It's like the violent deaths of his parents and his own brother just brush right off of him. He's totally unaffected.
This, folks, is what we call a "HUGE red flag." lol I can understand someone being resentful about his father. Because of the strict rules he was forced to live by in order to keep living under their roof. But, only a stone cold KILLER would shrug off this much empathy and not at least appear to feel bad for what his last surviving brother had to go through because of him.
It's staggering how apparently he just doesn't care.
Im struggling with this right now. My dad is the victim who barely survived and my brother the offender. It’s awful how it tears your heart to pieces. My dad talks about one day having my brother home and still keeps his room nice and cleaned all his clothes for his return.
Me, amongst others including professionals don’t think my brother will ever be able to rehabilitate because he has no empathy for what he did.
Chad laid down some pretty strict rules for Grant and they honestly were more like rules that would be given to a kid 13 or 14 years old. However, if Grant didn't like the rules (and he didn't) he was TWENTY-NINE years old. Just get out of the house! But of course if he moved out he would have to support himself and he was apparently horrified at the very thought of doing such a thing as that. Mom and Dad (and Cody) made a GRAVE mistake when they moved heaven and earth to keep him out of prison when he stole money and apparently moved large amounts of cash to the point that he had the FBI looking into the possibility that he was guilty of money laundering. It's a pity they didn't allow him to face the consequences for that earlier crime because if they had, he would have been safely locked up somewhere, unable to contact his dearly beloved camgirl and unable to murder his family! Making sure a son or daughter NEVER has to be accountable for any misdeed, very rarely ever turns out to be a good thing but sadly many parents don't seem to understand this.
Grant is a spoil brat…. Rules didn’t force him to kill his family. Don’t blame is dad, mom and brother for getting killed.
I mostly agree, except for 1:02:30. It's the only time I can recall in the trial where Grant doesn't look dismissive or disinterested. For just a moment, I think Grant felt shame. Perhaps not for the killings, but for Jason's pain in that moment.
The father’s rules were completely reasonable, not strict or harsh at all! Grant is a grown man. He shouldn’t even have been living with his parents.
I feel so sorry for Jason. Sending prayers your way🌹.
God bless you Jason Amato ! May He give you the strength and courage through this ordeal. Your mom and dad will be very proud of you for who you are and what you have become. God bless you dear one!❤️

The way Grant stared at Jason sent shivers down my spine 😥 I really do feel for Jason, I hope he still has or had the support he needed to get through such a traumatic experience.
He has a wife
Leave it to Florida police to treat the victim like a 100% suspect, making a scene and *shutting down his work* to detain him in front of everybody for questioning.
They were worried that the killer could be out for Jason I think or that they didn't know if maybe Jason was the killer & possibly still armed.
Bonnie Nelson grant would have gone after Jason without a doubt. That’s why Jason mentions it in the room when he speaks with grant, no doubt police came to the same conclusion. There’s no way grant would want to split the inheritance with his brother Jason.

Jason seems like such a great guy. In his brothers interrogation when Jason is brought in to talk to Grant, one of the things Jason brings up is that his brother Cody is not an organ donor, so there would be people needing organs who would be missing out but Jason can’t make that call. This poor guy just lost his parents and his brother Cody and in a sense he was also losing Grant, and he was still showing empathy for total strangers. Im so sorry Jason
Jason is a good guy.

He was a better interrogator than either of the two cops who interrogated Grant

@@DarlingBo-bannie She's still camming under the name AdaJoyce or something. I saw her twitter account, she tries to hide any mention of the crime but people still bring it up. Doesn't seem like she cares too much about it.
Where does she live, Bulgaria? If so, she'd lead a super comfortable life there with this much money.
@@difjaoisdjfoaisjdfoaiogeis I wonder if he has a pimp because I’m sure she makes millions in a year .. she has enough to retire
I always wonder how they feel about each other when they look at each other in a court room like this... like he killed your whole family .. but he’s also the only other person that shares those memories with you. You two are the only ones left with those memories. Would he have killed you to? Does he regret it? Wonder how awkward it is in there
too*
You stupid idiot.
@@Skindoggiedog get a life
Can anyone tell me why there is an elevator control panel in the witness box?
Probably where inmates and defendants in custody come in the court room from where they’re being held. Probably the same for the judge
Stephen White maybe for wheel chairs? I honestly don’t know just a guess but I was wondering the same thing.
My guess is that it isn't elevator buttons. Its most likely wheelchair accesible. For those individuals who need to testify & are handicapped.
It's for people in wheelchairs
They use that to bring the rock band up from the basement to the stand.
I'm having trouble understanding how immature GA seems as a 30 year old man. His older brother moved out for college, yet the two younger brothers never did. Just seems odd, idk
G Sybil I find it odd too. Ppl normally want to move out of their parents home. There were some odd things about this family.
Why was there pot in the parents bedroom? Loads of it. I just have some questions is all.
@@sarahannedidora60 idk, but I thought it was a couple of jars which sounds like persomal use not some growing operation or pot dealers
@@TheRealRoyGBiv thx very much hun
It's called a failure to launch. Grant could have gotten a hair transplant, went to the gym, got a job and moved out, then looked for women to date. Too late now his life is done....over.
The strangest thing just happened... I was watching this trial and then I opened the fridge to grab a Coke that I had purchased earlier on in the day... it says share a Coke with grant on it! Why?????
Coincidence
God hates you maybe
Because that’s how much of a leech Grant is.
@@PerpetuallyTori underrated rebuttal 😂😂😂
The poor brother to have a family all taken away in moments of utter madness
You think GA was legally insane at the time of murders? Or are you "just saying?"
It wasn't a moment of utter madness, he stayed in the house with his dead mother and waited for his father to get home, then killed him, then again waited with both his dead parents for his brother to get home and shot him point blank in the face as soon as he came through the door. After he did all those things he even tried to frame his father and used their cold dead hands to unlock their phones.
Dude planned it out and then tried covering it up, this was much more than a moment of madness and he should've been given the death penalty.
@@Kana-vx2ec That's what I get from the evidence, too.
The brother that is still alive really is handling himself like a champ. Definitely polished. And how he acted at the police station. Just a well rounded dud
The fact Jason calls it the “incident”, poor guy 😭
How can he watch his brother Jason breaking his heart and just stare. Just admit it
cody amato was so kind💗 rip beautiful soul and family
Omg I want to hug Jason 😭😭😭 he did so well even with this horrible attorney. Bouncing around and at a glacial pace
God, seeing Jason like this just breaks my heart! Life is so unfair. I feel for you, man. I dont think anyone can have an idea what you are going through. Sorry to have you displayed on the internet in this vulnerable emotional state. I started to feel shame halfway through so I stopped watching. I hope you will find solace and comfort soon .
oh my god... exactly.
This prosecutor is terrible, worst one that i have ever seen out of hundreds of cases! The best prosecutor I have ever seen is the Chandler Halderson case!
I agree
Also the prosecutors on the Adelson case were awesome as well.
Jason is just an empath. The polar opposite of Grant. Listening to him is just heartbreaking 😞
It is incredibly hard & heartbreaking when someone you love so much kills the ones you love so very much! I’m so sorry Jason I feel your pain.
He must also feel that his brother would have killed him too.
@@KS-bo7rm GA had motive and opportunity. He staged the scene to make it look like Cody killed everyone then killed himself. No one else would do that. There was no evidence of a break-in. Nothing was taken. GA used Chad's phone to link GA's bank account with Chad's right after the murders, and he paid $599.99 in order to regain access to Syvie's (sp?) website. GA is the epitome of a loser. Pushing 30. Still living at home. No job. No prospects. He looks like a ghoul out of a black-and-white horror movie. But there's yet another horror. Because of GA and others like him, Planned Parenthood can look at a conflicted pregnant woman and say, "What if you give birth, but it grows up and kills you?"
@@nonmihiseddeo4181 You are so right when you said he looks like a character from an old film .
This is a very wealthy intelligent family. I can't imagine being that rich. I think he is a nice caring brother.I just can't imagine the pain he is going through telling what he found in the house .They sounded so happy as CHILDREN. So sad for Jason. I hope he will be alright. This is a difficult case.
I wouldn't say they were wealthy, upper middle class definitely, but they were all educated and had jobs in their field of study. I mean the dad was unable to retire because $200,000 was stolen, that's far from wealthy.
That was some heart breaking testimony .. my heart really goes out to him ( Jason) I too am glad he has his wife and daughters to go home to.. wow may God bless him
If Cornerstone indeed said to Mrs. Amato that they had done everything they could for grant and he longer needed treatment, I wonder if they could be sued since Grant went home and killed almost all of his family?
Jennifer Williams I mean do we have to find an excuse to suck money out of everyone? Can’t grant just own up and have his sentence and that be it? Seems so unnecessary
No they couldn’t....he didn’t have a mental illness he was just an entitled idiot
My God the poor brother.I feel soooo sorry for him.He lost everybody he loves.I am so sorry for him.what a strong man sitting there being very STRONG going to those Questions.God bless him .
God he just breaks my heart. Had me in tears when they asked about his mother’s ring. I pray god gives him the strength to get through this. Poor guy. And I agree with the person who said I hope he gets all the inheritance he is a good son and brother. And that’s awesome how his dad came in his life when he was small and he is now fathering two girls in the same way. My three sons bio dad ran off and later was murdered, my husband came in when our 10yr o twins were turning five and my six year old was under a year old so I get how special that is. You watch your little boy watch all the daddies playing ball with their sons and as a mom u try to put your daddy hat on and replace that blank gaping hole but nothing can be as great of a blessing as when a man stands up and volunteers to be that person in a little boy or girls life. God bless him and his family.
Jason is a really cool dude. I want to know him. He seems so helpful and quite a character. I hate to think what he's going through. He also has a really great voice!
I feel so sad for Jason. He lost his family over something so ridiculous. If he was there, or anyone else, Grant would have probably killed them too because he held his fantasy over everything and everyone. I hope one day he finds peace.
He seems like literally such a sweet man. I hope he gets through this ❤️
Jason is a very well spoken young man. He did a good job and even managed to recover well from almost crying when being asked questions about his Mother's wedding ring. Too bad these seemingly decent people had this one POS son, Grant! What a wierd looking dude too!!
imagine you have no hair, and your brother have this awsome hair style ?! There is tension right there, jason was a real target he got lucky he was in difrent place.
Do men get jealous of each other for hair
It’s so sad to see the excruciating pain on his face when talking about his family and “the incident”. This poor man seems like just a good, gentle dude.
Laura H he sure is. It broke my heart and made me cry when he cries. We are all there and praying for you, Jason.
