The People First RoboShow in Riley is an ongoing case. At the time of this episode's original

air date, the defendants had not been convicted of any of the crimes alleged against them.

Dramatic reenactments are based on public police records, official transcripts, and individuals

with direct knowledge of the events as they occurred. Please take care while listening.

After the code is hit that changed everything, DA investigators spent a year building their

case against Grant RoboShow and Sarissa Riley. They wanted to know everything about the

couple. Who were Grant and Sarissa before they met? And how did they end up living in

a swanky, new-port-beach townhouse and indulging in a lifestyle of sex, drugs, and mind-altering

music festivals together? Their research likely took them to the same place it took me.

A modest red brick split level with green shutters, deep in the heart of Louisiana.

You have to understand, we wrote bikes and neighborhoods together. Like we went bike-writing,

like with other groups of kids, and as Mayberry as it sounds, we got ice cream, we went to

the mall, we played Nintendo when that was cool. When I saw the news about him, I said,

how is that possible? I didn't believe it. I had to go and look and I was like, wait,

what? I was like, that's not Grant. Oh my god, that is Grant. I just heard Dr. Grant

RoboShow and I was like, no, because there's so many RoboShow's, there's so many

tippatives, there's so many A-bears. I was like, there's no way. So I went and looked

at the picture. I was like, ah, that's him. I was like, there's no way. There's no way

you could have done this. It's like somebody framed him. From Justin Harmon and audio

Chuck, this is Ocee Swingers, chapter three, arrogant Weasel.
