    Robin "Rocky" Myers: Road to Redemption Ch. 5 - The Interviews
    Mar 1 2025
    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 to:

    Corpus Delicti
