This may be the end of Rocky's series, but it is by no means the end of our passion for him and his case. In this final chapter, you'll hear directly from Kacey Keeton and Sara Romano, Rocky's current lawyer and investigator. You'll also hear from Rocky Myers himself.



*Note: Rocky's interview was conducted via prison phone. It can be hard to hear at times, but is absolutely worth hearing what he has to say about his life inside and outside of Holman Correctional Facility.



Please send letters for Rocky's clemency package...

All the witnesses have testified, and it's time for the jury to deliberate. They certainly don't agree, but very consciously choose their verdict as well as their sentencing recommendation. Six months later during the actual sentencing, Rocky and his team are met with a huge surprise. Then, things seem to only get worse during the appeals process.

This week on Rocky's story, we're picking up halfway through the trial. We learn a lot about the timeline, and just how many varying versions of it there are. Some make sense, while others... don't. One of these sheds major doubt onto one of the key witnesses who initially made a call to police. Plus, we hear testimony about forensics, or the lack thereof.

Sophie Toscan Du Plantier took a brief getaway to her vacation home just days before Christmas. When she was found dead at the end of her driveway, it shook the small town where she was visiting as she wasn't from the area and only knew a few people. Suspicion fell on a reporter, but a lack of evidence made the case difficult.

In this episode we talk about the case behind the 70s film "10 Rillington Place". John Christie had a dark side from early on in life. It manifested as an adult through theft and petty crime, but escalated to murder in a very Edgar Allan Poe way.
