A year has passed 900.000 souls reached with this video. In awe, nearly 99 percent beautiful and positive responses to this...I was right to do this and I was right to offer love in the face of so much heartache. I'm in England and I know it all had to come about this way...with love to all who get this effort,
Nicky
You deserve nothing but happiness after all you’ve endured - I hope we here in England are treating you well!
@@annahx6461 thank you and yes folks here and brilliant
God bless brother I’m glad you’re still keeping your head up ❤❤❤❤
Big love to you Nick. You give people strength by sharing your pain and your strength.
I’ve had a nice life. Loving parents. Never been arrested. Yet I’m an alcoholic. I’m fighting hard to beat it. You just so inspired me. You have every reason to hate the world and self medicate but you instead choose to instead be inspiring. You’ve inspired me to get sober.
I read everyone's comments on this one video...I'm aware there are thousands posted about me, but this one...I just love what it has brought out in so many beautiful humans. Thank you Mark for this gift on CZcams that has done so much good.
With love always,
Nicky
Nick you have put faith in humanity back into me. Having gone through everything that you have and for you to still have love and trust for people. Your outlook on life still is amazing. You are such a strong and smart person. I don't know what else to say. I am just astounded by you. Thank you for telling your story. And thank you for still being here.
I hope you know pain and adversity isn't put on those who don't have at least a chance of overcoming. My theory, the more pain the stronger you are and can be. I wish I wasn't so strong... Sometimes
@@xerotonin6776 yeah I really feel that
I watched this entire video in complete awe. The things this man went through and to still over come and keep kindness within is amazing. I hope a film director finds this video and makes a movie we all need. God bless you Nick .
@@jamiesanchez4342 thank you sincerely
I don't think I have EVER seen an interview so powerful, and I don't think I've ever heard Mark keep his mouth shut for 1.5 hours straight (lol). What a story. Dude deserves a movie.
He has one. The fear of 13.
I thought the same thing!! A movie could give so many people hope!
That's a great man right there. His story isn't that far from Mandela's. I could not imagine going through all of that and not just surviving but doing so with grace.
His rogan episode was incredible
This is absolutely spellbinding. Holy shit this guy went through every hellish thing imaginable survived.
"I've been tested but Not broken" such powerful words. Thank you for sharing your story!!!!!!!
Reminded me of the biblical saying" I'm broken but not destroyed".
So true ..tested but not broken
And the tagline .. “but …. I wasn’t through with this journey “
I could feel his frustration with being so down and out and tired of the fight , the external and internal , yet, not fully enough hope had gone to let him “off the hook “ so to speak ,’so he had no choice but to keep fighting
About to say the same. Just wow.
This man speaks as if he’s memorized his own autobiography. Undoubtedly he’s put much reflection into his life
You mustve missed all the years he spent in prison. That's alot of time to reflect smh
He has a book n a Netflix doc the fear of 13
Just was thinking that same thing sounded like an audio book dude sharp
Yea it’s kinda like he is reading from a book in his head it’s crazy
Considering he has lived his own story, and had plenty of time inside to think about it, it's hardly surprising... 🤷🏻♀️
The pause in his speech when the sirens go by. Just, such a moment. Closing his eyes. Probably brings a lot of memories. Poor guy.
I don't know how he can talk about this story and hold it togather without breaking down
@Michael Black Honestly I think its from how much he's gone over it in his own mind throughout the years.
I noticed that too.
It's cause he had a brain injury young and his brain reorganized with the drugs and chemicles
@@reubeng2110 Not everything is about drug use. The system kidnapped and tortured him, they were gangsters and thugs not police and guards. Of course he's gonna have some PTSD dealing with that. Also why would he talk while the sirens are interrupting him?
I can literally visualize everything he is saying. What an impactful storyteller.
Can you imagine his secretions
Same...I could see the face of the guy that Assaulted him when he was 7. The look that said what do I tell this kid to say To his parents about what happened to him. I could literally see A man's face as hes thinking what I need to do here. Amazing storyteller
Me too
Truly captivating
This man is a unicorn of a human being. To go through what he went through and still be able to see beauty and hope in the world is truly rare.
Exactly what I have been mostly amazed by.
His perspective.
I screenshotted your comment haha
His mother's powerful words
You are a gift nikki
They NEED to make this dude’s story into a movie.
He deserves the payday.
They did. It’s called the fear of 13
They have
You should check stuff before posting/commenting on something. Not trying to be a dick either btw
As long as that’s made sure he gets money
@@mikeskel45 That’s a documentary.
@@PhilMiCoochiemaybe he was talking about a movie with actors and not the documentary that has been already made dickhead
Nick's story is so much deeper than he had time to share on here & I encourage anyone who got something out of this very condensed version to seek out his books, the film The Fear of 13, & his social media. Nick has taken the time to personally write back to me & is a kind, strong, wonderful human. His choice to work to transcend his circumstances is one that deserves respect.
Thanks for saying this. I would encourage anyone that really cares about humanity to take away something positive here and avoid focusing on slandering Nick or debunking his story. Anyone who's seen the fear of 13 will know that his story has been independently verified (not that anyone could make it up). Simple, uneducated comments without a lot of substance fall on deaf ears and are mostly not real people or accounts anyways, so I would urge folks not to waste their energy on such things. I'm a professional photographer who just spent a week following Nick around while he lived in my home amongst the beings I care about the most. He's a beautifully imperfect person just like all of us. May you know peace.....
@@northernwildimages you’re kidding, there are still people who try to debunk his story? Wow. Humans can be such garbage.
Where can I watch it? What's his name on social media?
I encourage you to dig deeper and find the real truth. You are absolutely clueless about this case and this guy.
i had friends who lived in MH which is a block away from chester. Those cops are definetly fucked up.
“ I was tested, but I wasn’t broken” gave me straight up goosebumps. Here’s a man that has been tortured physically and mentally for years and was able to come out with love still in his heart. If my kindness and love ever got tested to this degree, I’d pray for this man’s strength
I cried when he said thatc
Beautifully said......!
We need more of him.
Amen
I'm going to use that - "I was tested but not broken," because that's my life ✌️✌️
I listened to this whole video and I don't think I heard him say "umm" once. That's quite a talent. Such a great storyteller
He is different for sure. He also said that it was so cold that the shakes almost broke his ribs. Also, that he refused to answer a nurse because he believed not answering would make her look him in the eye. So many things that have no logic to them, but he has an enthusiasm and rythm of speech that makes it sound like he is saying sane things.
I tried not saying "ummm" at all in a set of video interviews for this job. Lets just say it took a lot of takes. Got the job offer 2 days ago 🤷🤷
4:53 he says um lol
@@bbqchicken4lifebig deal
@@thebeastersthat’s actually funny because I reading the comment and he said um 😭
This was like a ted talk delivered by a world class public speaker. What an impressive mind this man has. Thank you for sharing your story
Oddly enough when people go to prison they come out (some) a lot more well spoken, and logical, and just overall more knowledgeable. Especially the street smarts they get from it.
@@unknownmlg4041 yeah I know precisely what you mean. I actually want to share my story with mark one day soon, but I actual did a year in Rikers Island when I was a teenager in the 90s and all I did was read books about the mind, human behavior and modern physics, did yoga, and work out.
@@imani_malik_L7777 yeah man you gotta figure being locked up around so many different walks of life contributes to that, as well as the social aspect of it I mean your ability to speak even when you’re nervous just gets abundantly better. Then there’s the fact that you don’t have the luxury Of social media and TV (I mean sometimes sure but not like we do outside) so you do things like you were saying things that just improve yourself in all areas
@@unknownmlg4041 yeah its the ultimate self help opportunity lol oddly enough
TED talks are shit. Don't support them. TED featured a young killer of an elderly couple and hid objects in their bodies. They've removed the video. Why they would give that monster a TED stage is beyond me.
I know this man personally, and he has the BIGGEST heart. Such a sweet soul. It makes me so happy to see his story brought to light, and to see him flourish. ❤
Thank you for sharing your personal knowledge of Nick. ❤️ 🌿 😊
I have just replied strongly to some unkind people who have made rude and unnecessary comments. ❤️
He rose above ✌️✌️❤️❤️❤️
@@GypsyGirl317 lmao
I'm listening for a second time. This is the most powerful interview on this channel. To me anyway. Such an amazing man. I'll never forget him. I'm so glad he shared his life story.🙏
Hi Natasha. I have so many questions for Nick. I have never seen a more determined man… despite everything that was happening in his life, he marched on.
But if you could just let us know, what did he mean by “last interview in America “?
Did he move away to another country? Is he ok health wise? Please at least send our love to him. I’m so sorry the system failed him - terribly. He has seen mankind at its worst and still chooses to see the good in the world. He’s amazing. Thank you Natalia.
"never let anyone steal your kindness" - thanks for sharing Nick.
I spent 107 days in jail and I cannot possibly fathom how one could spend 22 years on death row. I do believe this is the greatest true story ever told
I find it ironic that everybody feels bad for him for being wrongly accused when he himself tried to frame an innocent man for the exact same crime!
I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a guest on this channel. Speechless. My entire heart goes out to him so bad. I cannot believe he is still here standing strong. I absolutely love him so much and wish him the best. What a superhero.

Ryan passed away moths ago 😞
@@justasubsource?
@@ralphpierre9122 I typed Ryan because I had been watching the Ryan Leone interview. Not sure how my comment got posted here.
I love him too so much
Mark, the silence must be deafening when those humans have left the studio. The work you do is as invaluable as those who enable its content. Much love from London
That’s a deep and very thoughtful comment.
Oh yes. He’s definitely doing god’s work. Praise the lord Jesus Christ /s 🤦♂️🤡
Totally agree . All the way from Australia.
That was super well worded . That’s what ℹ respect from Englishmen . The vocab is AMAZING !!!🎉
hahahahahaha
this has got to be a bot comment
(mark has an assistant and a lover and is rarely alone any longer)
Mr Yarris is one of the most articulated story tellers if not one of the best I’ve ever heard, thank you for sharing your story. Safe Travels !🙏
18 points of articulation!
He's a wife beating shit head but sure
Watch JayWilliamsLetsLiveLife then…his channel and videos paint deeply detailed pictures within your mind.
Agreed
Waited for the siren to go by.
I've watched a number of your films. This is the most powerful testimony I have seen. Listening to the silence during the siren sounding outside, just after he describes police corruption was chilling.
I feel as though I just sat through 3 acts of a Shakespearian play. Poetic, atmospheric, with morals and sprinkles of hope throughout the tragedy. A supremely articulate, engaging and expressive speaker who is not afraid to lay out all of his misgivings and misdemeanours, his personal sufferings and expose the insidious corruption of those who are more powerful and use it against the most vulnerable in society. Nick I hope you continue to learn, and to teach others how to retain their hope when all hope appears to be gone.
You seem like an eloquent speaker yourself. Absolutely beautifully written, you really captured the essence of what the video conveyed
Love your comment through and through .
This man touched my heart on so many levels I can't even comprehend.
Only love for this guy, God's love, I pray to Jesus He saves him for eternity.
What if I told you Nick was a con man and a story teller? He even talked a financier into funding a movie but it never got off the ground bc of the lack of credibility.
Not all movies are true ! Patriotparkinglot
Beautifully written. 👌🏼 such a powerful documentary. The resilience. 🥹
After everything this man has been through, when he said " never let anyone take your kindness away from you" had me in TEARS....thank you Nick for those wise words. I needed to hear that badly...
His voice is like listening to an audio book. His story is truly fascinating and incredibly detailed and sad. I’m so glad he got justice, but at the same time you can’t get back all those years of life. I hope he restarts his life with lots of love and meaning ❤
From the very beginning! Wow!
Spoke his truth an testimony so beautiful my heart is with him I pray he is living a great life now
I really hope he got a massive settlement.
I think he has a lot of his story memorized because he's probably told it many times. Just how it sounds to me.
You're right, he's an amazing speaker and I love his voice. I'm so glad he shared his story
Mr. Yarris please record your books for Audible. I could listen to you telling/reading stories for hours. You have an absolute gift that should be shared with the rest of the world. Much love from Germany ❤
Mr. Yarris, I've had college professors who weren't 1/36th as interesting or eloquent as you are. You're a valuable person. Thank you for sharing your story. 🕯️🕯️🕯️
It would be rare to have a college professor this interesting, to be fair.
@@Rattlsnke That is very true, I’ve only met 1 one dude that on the same “tier” of interesting and only have heard of two professors that were described as that. Sometimes those dudes end up leading UNBELIEVABLE lives and then settling into a college job.
Probably cause it’s a college professor…
*green/redth
The difference is, those that have lived experiences vs those who've read about it. Or those who are wise and soulfully empathetic to relay it with true care, with lesson.
The feeling of having the world against you for doing things only you know you didn’t do; is by far the highest level of internal & external frustration a being could EVER experience. His soul is so beautiful despite how much damage was inflicted by this corrupted, dark world. This is such a captivating story & he told it so well. He deserves the universe and more. ❤️
That's why Papillon is my favorite book and SO poignant.
@dan carter same here brother.
This is what happened to me at Nottingham hospital maternity ward. They killed my daughter and are covering it up
@@amasworld7126 Omg! I'm so sorry about that!! Some supposed "humans" are wicked to the core!! I pray some peace for you, I can't even imagine what you went thru 😢❤️
@@amasworld7126 Oh my gosh I’m so sorry! Can I ask what happened??
This is arguably the most moving story I've ever heard. This man is incredible and he deserves the world
The world is basically garbage at this point in life, but I see what youre saying….he definitely deserves positive vibes his way.
@@lro001 The world is 100% what you make it.
Thank God for DNA!
I hate this for him. He def made some really poor choices tho that were not in his favor to begin with. You never know what you would do until your in these situations.
For a man w speech impediment he sure has overcome a lot. Probably one of the best speeches you have ever done
This man needs to do audio book recordings. He is so articulated, his voice is so hypnotic.
Agree! Some of the voices on audiobooks are difficult to listen to.. Nicks voice is very easy to listen to!
This is an audio book
This man has literally been through hell. Watching him self soothe the entire video breaks my heart. He was tested but never broken. Cheers to him. He's a good man. Too good for this world. In the world we live in, we don't deserve people like this. But we need them. Thank you Mark for everything you do. I can't even imagine that these conversations are ever easy. You shine a light on a darkness that everyone needs to see.
Who is Mark?
@@jovangames2.0He's the filmmaker behind SWU
I've read thousands of books in my life. This is one of the best. I can see everything, feel everything, and profoundly understand everything this author is expressing, with no embellishment. Perfect storytelling straight from the heart. I am in awe.
Much love to Nick, Marc, and this beautiful community.
The best feeling is knowing when a clever person gets it
Thank you
There is a book?
What is the book called ?
@@garsu1229 Yes, I believe he has written a book, not sure of the title. I was just saying that listening to his talk was like reading a great book.
Makes it that much crazier that it was written by someone who could barely speak without stuttering and didn’t have a good formal education. Shows how much we’re capable of when we’re passionate about something and put all our effort into it.
Finally in a place of clarity, free from addiction after 30 years of abuse and 15 years of incarceration, I was very angry and resentful to those around me but more importantly I was angry and resentful to myself for allowing my life spiral so far away from who I truly am. I had to come to terms with the things I had done and wouldn’t let them define me and steal the joy from my life. I wish now to be able to inspire others to change their own situations but just don’t really know how. Wow what an inspiration you are. You help restore my faith in humanity and a great example of how love can triumph all boundaries. I hope you are filled with the peace of knowing you made a difference in my life
You are a beautiful human being in a world full of people...❤
❤
Dude is an amazingly vivid story teller. It’s sad how traumatic it is but goodness does he tell his story well.
I’m opposite I couldn’t watch because he couldn’t tell a story.

@@pgood7266the government gets away with a lot more than one could imagine, I'm sure
This is beautiful. This wasn't a speech or story. It was a spiritual journey. Nobody has ever made me break out in tears and get emotional like this one. Not a single one. Until now. This man's story touched my soul. Your speech at the end was on par with some of the best poetic type moments I've ever experienced in my 34 years. This one deserves some sort of award. It's not easy make me emotional. Just wow.
Same.
You described it perfectly. The conclusion at the end felt like he was speaking directly to me. Never let anyone steal your kindness.
I shed tears bro.
Perfectly said.
I absolutely cried too. I felt like he was looking directly into my soul at the end. It made me tremble. Absolutely incredible.
@@LuckyLiftersApparel extremely powerful interview. Nick is so articulate and intelligent. This is my absolute favorite swu hands down.
Fear of 13 is a documentary narrated by Nick about his experiences. I used to fall asleep listening to it as his voice was so soothing and story telling divine. What an incredible human.
i literally just did lol
you dont think it could happen to you?
It's a documentary not a movie.
I KNEW he'd done a documentary with 13 in it.
Watched that when I lived in Vancouver and never forgot it
@@XWoodbineXcool chest tattoo
I was raped as a child and as a grown up adult, the part when he said he got hook up on drugs to evade the fear resonated with me, i left the habit a few months ago, thank You for Sharing your story, i learned that you aren't what you lived, you are who you are despite everything you lived
The police siren at 22:30 was such perfect timing. I'm in complete and utter suspense, hanging on every single word this man says, and subtle things like that siren just add to the production value of this amazing story and channel as a whole!
I agree. The timing of that was powerful! That moment spoke loudly.
The only problem with the siren was how badly it affected him. If you watch him closely you can see he was in distress, and his heart rate increased...I can only imagine all the horrible associations he has with police sirens.
I was just going to write the same thing about the siren! impeccable timing
AGREED
Ive never heard such a captivating monologue before in my life. The emotions he delivered were all consuming. What a story.
He made a movie and wrote a book. The Fear of 13.
Man…I didn’t realize it at first, but I needed to hear this man’s story today. I’m at work, & it’s 12:49pm. I have no idea where the last hour/hour & a half has gone. I’m working, but listening to the trials & tribulations of Nick has taken me far away from the workplace. I revisited my childhood in the beginning of the interview, & realized that Nick & I have a lot in common. Nick made me be totally honest with myself this afternoon. God is Good, May Nick continue to be Blessed abundantly. 🙏🏿
Love you for being the good human being you are today and for all the days someone didn't want that of you now...

I’m usually just a lurker of this page, watching and not commenting. This story is so incredible. Absolutely cried, thinking of this man seeing beauty in this world that has so deeply wronged him. I hope the rest of his life is only filled with love and happiness.
This is by far the best interview! It’s like someone is reading from a great novel! Incredible story teller, I could listen to him all day! Some people were born into this world on survival mode, always under attack so they live a life always trying to prove their innocence…im just baffled on how resilient your mind, body and spirit with all the abuse you succumbed!! Thank you for sharing your story! Please write a book!!
The interview with the fella that killed his rapist was as spellbinding. Such pain in this world and ppl get made because their Starbucks points aren't adding up
It is someone reading from a great novel. Nick has written five books and his story, the story you just heard was the first book. It sounds so good because he's either spoken it, read or written it hundreds of times and I agree it's a masterpiece of storytelling
He wrote it a good number of years back. A fascinating read. He was Joe Rogan's podcast not too long ago also.

For the first time in my life having always so much to say, I am entirely and utterly speechless. Mark thank you for showcasing this remarkable man with a remarkable story.
He wrote a book about this called fear of 13. Mark is a tool
Read his criminal history and see if you still think he is a remarkable man. He's a convicted wife beater
This guy is an outright liar.
That’s because you must have never been out right lied to this bad. This guy is a hoax.

I’m constantly amazed by the trauma the human body and mind can endure and still be able to continue to be strong enough to live. Very inspirational. Thank you Nick for telling your story and Mark for posting. You both help people see out side of their bubble.
Everyone is beautiful in their own way and posses more strength than they usually know

@@KCNYC So very true, so very true 💯💫
What a story wow Nick
“ I have been tested, but not broken” just powerful.

In honor of this interview, donate to SWU if you haven’t “lost your kindness” through all the trials and tribulations. What a story, Mr. Yarris. Your perspective on life despite what you went through is so encouraging and unimaginably clear. Keep being you and inspiring others!
I remained silent as I listened. Didn't expect to start weeping as soon as the video/interview ended. The joy that I feel for the life this man will continue living is indescribable. I'll cherish his empathetic words to us forever.
This is the most impactful interview on this channel, and I have watched many.
I cannot even put into words, the palette of emotions I felt listening to this story.
I have the utmost respect for Nick and I am always devastated to hear about such unbelievable injustice and unnecessary suffering in this world.
I think I can hear Mark speaking through tears at the end. Crazy to think that even someone who has seen the depths of human suffering to the degree that Mark has, a story can still produce tears from him. Nick Yarris is an unbelievably strong person. To be strong enough to tolerate this level of suffering but still have the mental strength to be kind and grateful is truly awe inspiring.
❤️💔❤️
This is THE best and most amazing story this channel has had. Never have i been so amazed, interested and so deeply in the story of a person. From such lows to such an amazing aftermath. Amazing story Nick and SWU.
I wonder how he could make such a presentation, all the details after all the physical, mental and emotional abuse he's received. God Bless You and I wish you all the Very Best going forward. Dude, YOU are amazing 👏 😍 ❤️!!!
What true wisdom❤ what a beautiful human
Your life story touched me deeply so much so that I find it hard to put into words…thank you, Nick, for your courage and grace.
@@668lafleur so what are your sources of this accusation ?
@@OleBadDog Unfortunately it isnt obvious to some (unfortunately quite a lot, it seems) people that he is a phony. Yes the death row sentence was a terrible injustice but that is the only part of his story that is verifiable (dna evidence).
He remembers so much detail and presents himself so well because he has rehearsed this story a million times. Psychopaths deceive "regular" people in no time. If they are somewhat intelligent, they are the most charming, "nicest" people.
This is one of the very few videos on this channel i could not finish because he doesn't seem genuine at all, and i am a die-hard swu fan since the beginning.
A clue to his deception is the strong dissonance between what he is saying and his demeanor.
But everybody is only able to see things that their perceived reality allows them to, so no worrys.
Despite all the injustice he has rose above still believing in kindness. Incredible story
This dude's strength, grit, determination and heart is just so strong. He went through hell several times over, many people (Myself included) would've checked out early, yet he somehow found the strength to stay strong and keep hope. What an absolute legend, massive respect to him.
So profound. The fact he can sit and tell his story in such an enlightened manner speaks volumes to what humans can bare & in the grand scheme of things, hes a shining example of what real achievement actually is and that it is always an inward journey. It seems hes been born into such a big karmic bond, but by his resistance and enlightenment along the way he may have undone many cycles. What a story & a shining example of how we can better ourselves.
Yeah if one thing I've learned from SWU is that the human spirit is incredibly strong.
@@ifgwelfstrong & resilient 💔
In 2008 his lawsuit against Delaware County DA Office was settled for $4 million. I was hoping that he mentioned specific names of people in the system who actively tried to conceal evidence so we'd remember them when he later sued them individually. It's frustrating to think they never had to suffer any consequences.
4 Million .
This was so deep. If this wasn’t a gut punch of a reality check for All of US I don’t know what is. Incredible story!!
Yeah really ❤!!!
I’m absolutely speechless. What a profound human being - it’s the only word that comes to my heart to describe what I just saw/listened to. This man is both blessed & cursed.💜
I am in tears watching this man. This man is like no other man I have ever known. I am a 67 yr woman and I have been through and seen a lot, but it pales in comparison to what this man, Nick has suffered through. And then to hear him speak with the love, compassion and understanding at the end of his experiences is unfathomable. Man you are alone in your class. You are brilliant and shine brighter than anything that shines brightly in the heavens. You are incredulously credible and people's lives will be changed listening to you. I will pray for you to be freed from anything that ails you mentally, physically or spiritually and I will certainly not forget you because you are unforgettable. Indeed.
So are you my friend

How come there are hundred of series about killers BUT none about that incredible HUMAN BEING. Your story brought me to tears. All my compassion to you. You are the most courageous man. Wish you peace, respect and love.
yeah its true all of that serial killer stuff is very lowest common denominator (I'm not saying I'm above it) and there are so many stories like this that never get told that can uplift
This story has given me every range of emotion possible. It’s definitely the best interview yet!
Words fail me, but i looked you in the eyes throughout your testimony. I hope to be as rich as you are. Thank you.
What a good story teller. This guy is a walking miracle and I hope he can find some peace
He truly is. And I hope the same for him. He deserves peace more than anyone I Personally know! 💯😢❤️
There are some inconsistencies. But he does tell an amazing story.
He's a great story teller.... but much of it is bs... he adds way to much unrelated info in attempts to convey what hes telling, described situations in words and ways which most people just dont, tons of dates and details that are impossible to remember but sound great told together.... Dude's just trying to get paid, I've seen many recent interviews that Mark has done where its clear the person is just trying to tell some story that will get likes and shares.
@@billybenoit647correct. Rehearsed.
@@PAwaderstrange it’s like he had a lot of time to remember what happened to him or write it down .
This has to be the best soft white underbelly episode I’ve seen. This man’s ability to come out of all of that with love in his heart and still able to smile is a true testament to how resilient humans are. We need a movie about this man. Such an incredible story.
My heart is breaking for you Nick. I am so sorry you had to endure such horrific abuse. You are an amazing human, and did not deserve any of this. Thank you for your strength to tell your story. 💜
Thought my life was bad. But this man makes me realize what am I even crying about myself sometimes. Thank you sir for sharing
Amen
Tested but not broken. This interview has literally changed my life. Thank you. ❤️🙏
I vividly remember when he escaped the prison van at the gas station. It happened about a mile from my house. The surrounding community was frozen in fear. To think he ended up in Orlando via NYC. A truly amazing feat. Too bad you got railroaded by Delaware County. You're amazing storyteller, I wish you peace. You've earned it.
This dudes story is absolutely insane. One of the strongest minded people on this PLANET. Not a soul can come close to this dudes soul.
if he had such a good soul would he be incessantly begging for money on every podcast he goes on and in every comment section? Just start googling his name and you'll see a ton of dirt come up on him
@@charlespancamo9771 What does asking for money have to do with your soul? It's immoral to ask for money? He spent 22 years on death row, there's no amount of money that can buy those years back. What's this "dirt" eh? And if there is "dirt" maybe it's because he got screwed by the system and spent 1/3 of his life in prison for something he didn't do because of DIRTY cops.
@@charlespancamo9771 lil bro is just emitting mad negativity rn
@@yvngcharc3382 I saw him on rogan, I saw him here. He's done nothing but beg for money in the videos, in the comments. Did you know he got a multi million dollar settlement? Why is he begging here? Why does he gloss over the violent parts of the story? You think he just stole all those things without any encounters with the owners? How do you think he stole those cars? Hotwired all of them? Seriously, don't be stupid. He is a lying manipulative con man that preys on the emotions of others. That's his whole game.
@@charlespancamo9771 Hey bro, just wanna let you know, fuck you. Have good day
God bless Nick Yarris! Your life changed at the age of 7. So many have suffered abuse. Your story resonates. With all those who have suffered. Thank you !
I remember all of this. I knew his family. What they did to Nicky was tragic. How he dealt with it all it amazing and inspiring. Much respect Nicky.
It was beyond tragic. Tragedy. Nah. What was done to him was criminal.
It's hell on earth. It's not tragic.
What he did to himself taking drugs is tragic…..let this man be responsible for his actions.
@@ghostman6074 The guy named ghost man wants others to take responsibility... seems kinda funny considering ghosts dont have to take any responsibility anymore.
@@ghostman6074 Idiot.
This is just so powerful, poignant and beautiful. The world needs to hear Nicky's story. Thank you, Mark, for shining a light on humanity.
Check out the documentary Fear of 13, where he shares his story. Very well made and extremely underrated.
I'm awestruck by this man's total recall and ability to express his story so potently.
He has an eidetic memory!
I would love to hear what his fellow inmates would have to say about this man and the people who guarded the prison....even the prosecutor now..
His story telling ability is unreal just impeccable this guy lived a real life movie and painted it so well very vividly
This man truly saw the worst of humanity. He deserves the happiest most peaceful life.
Nick Yarris is such a beautifully articulated man who is so talented at telling his story. Nick is one of the strongest men I've ever seen. Thanks for this one, Mark. I'm a survivor of Child Sexual Abuse myself and my story is very close to his. I'm 558 days clean today from Opiate pain pills and I never thought I'd make it this far. I'm doing great in my recovery.
Congratulations on your sober time! I am on my 4th year now after a 15 year opiate addiction. May God bless you with sobriety the rest of your says.
That’s wonderful Robby, I’m proud of you and keep up the good work!
Well done Robby proud of you.. my son is a meth addict & I cry every day for him 💔
Congratulations ❤👏❤👏 keep up the great work!! You can do it!! Life truly is better sober. Even the hard times.
Congratulations, keep up the good work!!!!!!!
His ability to articulate himself in describing a moment in time is seemingly poetic. Nothing about his life was kind… we are lucky enough to hear such a gentle man describe his story in way that it’s clear, direct and engaging.
Just wow. So glad that he is free now and has not only not let such torture break him, but can let out the pain of it in a healthy way that inspires others. Nick, wishing you the very best of everything.
My life is forever changed listening to this man’s story. I am blown away at how he come out of all the abuse, injustice, and not being heard. He is an amazing man and I thank him that he shared his story.
I held onto every single word. The ending was so beautiful. After all Nick has endured, he is still positive, hopeful and so loving. I wish Nick luck on his journey
My jaw is on the ground. What an absolutely incredible, amazing person!
Are you serious
@@justinc4924 are YOU serious ?😒
@@LADYLIIIIIIKE what makes this guy an amazing incredible person
@@justinc4924 I don't think most people would have the strength to fight through proving their innocence after being rejected several times. Most would give up and be left hopeless. How he got in there was dumb but he could have succumbed to spending the rest of his life behind bars for something he did not do. Strength and mindset are everything.
I am a huge True Crime buff, I had never heard of this gentleman before! Point in fact, I just saw a Tic Tac short and I googled the name and this documentary came up! Shout out to the person that defended you in that tic toc on the very first comment that said... blah blah blah you do the crime you do the time!
So many people came to to your defense and that is how I knew your name!
I hung on your every word.... I believed every word you said because you said it with such passion and such conviction! If we don't advocate for ourselves, nobody will advocate for us! You advocated yourself right off of death row and walked right out of the prison a free man😊
Good on you -🎉
Nick Yarris is one of the best speakers, ive been consuming alot of his content and as an ex meth addict with multiple arrests who managed to make it out, alot of his story hits home pretty hard. Thank you Nick
It sounded like mark was brought to tears by his story. This was probably the best piece of work that mark has done. I never was so affected by a CZcams video like this one. This man’s story was inspirational and puts everything into perspective.
I didn’t even plan to watch this and just clicked it- I’m 40min in and this guys been thru it 😢
Thank you for that- just finished, this is the best story I’ve ever heard. The fact you’re still sane and a good person- thank you for finding that and sharing it
@NICKYARRIS1..You are amazing and I'm so happy you didn't let them break you. You deserve everything you have ever wanted in life. You touched my soul and I thank you that you shared your heartache and pain.
You have made me even more thankful for the life I have. Even after all was stripped from you, you still give so so so much. My quest now is to keep your words close to my heart when I am faced with the possible pain and anguish you have. Thank you. I really can't thank you enough but know that I will never forget you Nick. I will pay it forward. Big hugs from Oregon! 🐿
I have never felt understood with what had happen to me. Not from my therapist or the few friends I half told my story to.
My wife doesn’t know much of what happen to me. She only sees the aftermath of what I have to deal with.
Although my story isn’t anything like Mr Yarris, his emotions struck a commonality with me and made me fell understood for the 1st time in my 42 yrs of life.
Thank you Mr Yarris for sharing and thank you for your willingness to never break.
I cried through this whole story. America's justice is so corrupt and cruel and I pray that everyone involved in the torture of this man's life will reap what they sew × 10. God bless you sir.
yes it is. i was a victim of it
i cannot describe how powerful his story is..strong emotions crucial, heartbreaking and reliefing at the same time.. this deserved more than a movie.
That was the most incredible, powerful story ive listened to on SWU. Wow i'm speechless. Thank you Nick and Mark.
Completely agree !!!!!
Wow, no words. He has endured SO MUCH but all I see when I look at him is his kindness and a beautiful soul. God bless this man
Hurts me so much when you see adults recall stuff like this. You can see and feel all the pain is still there.
Hurts me even more when they recall being a kid and not knowing how to tell their parents, so they don’t.
I pray my children, your children, our children, will always feel they can tell us these things so we can help them through
I have never watched a documentary that moved me the way this one did. Nick is a saint and I send all my love and best wishes to him. Thank you for sharing your life with us. If anyone thinks they have a tough life, then watch this.
There are millions of people who have endured horrendous violence on a daily basis, who have never committed a crime or been junkie. Dont judge others lives or pain
"Dont let anybody steal youre kindness". Those words will stick with me.Thank you for youre time, Nick!
I cried so much listening to his story. I know lots of strong people, but this man has redefine the word strong. Love his story. Full of hope and determination
His eloquence, his self awareness, its truly profound and deep. Thanks Mark for sharing this wonderful human being.
It’s all a lie tho he made all this up in his head he has a mental illness where he can’t tel reality from delusion
This is a true testament to human strength. I've never witnessed resilience incarnate to this degree. This interview is a gift to posterity.
Listening to his story was like seeing a theatrical show! Lots of emotions; fear, anger, sadness, suspense and joy! One of the best stories on this channel ❤
One of the most insane stories ever, deserves a feature film. What an incredible man.
Cuz it’s fake
@Nic Filbrandt Lmao 😂😂, if it's fake he has hella connections 🤣 because there are books, documentary, etc about his story.
he was on Joe Rogan years ago I think.
I love this man as much as you can love a stranger and I'm so very proud of him. I'm glad he and the murder victim got anything close to justice and closure. Thank you for your story. I will remember it every time I want to give up.
Just before this episode I watched the man who lost his son from the dui. I feel happy that both of these men have come to a place of peace in accepting what is, "deserved" or not, and ultimately wanting something good to come of it all. It is so freeing to be able to get to that mentality. These stories are tragically beautiful and I'm glad I found this channel to be able to hear them.
