To all the folks thinking Nick is snakey: 1.) He's been severely psychologically scarred. Lengthy solitary confinement can be extremely damaging. He was in for 22 years. That alone will be excuse enough for someone to be a bit squirrely. 2.) He stutters, so his inflection seems kind of weird and forced, because it is forced. 3.) He has a history of stimulant abuse. he may not have stopped. I won't judge him for that. He'd probably upgrade/downgrade to adderall once he starts making money.

He's incredibly damaged. I know what people mean when they say something seems off about him - but, if one was raped had their head smashed in as a child, is aphasic and has spent 22 years on death row only to be released (exonerated by three sources of DNA, sounds pretty conclusive to me)? Anyone would be a little off. That doesn't mean that he's a saint, or that he's necessarily reliable on all the facts, but he's a human being - we can only take so much. The thing about him saying what a great guy he is? He's brain damaged and more than a little childlike - hes not going to make sense in the same way that someone who hasn't had the experiences he has had would.

[@DAY01DAY]

After reading some of these comments, I've come to the conclusion that most of you WANT this man to be a liar and fraud. The reason why it's so unbelievable to you people that a man who has gone through so much can still be successful is because most of you are not going through a percentage of what this man has and cant even find the time to read a fucking book. He's gone through hell and is still an above average member of society, most of you have jobs and have never been to prison yet still make excuses as to why you don't have a side hustle.

I'm not sure what there is about his story that people don't buy. There is pretty clear evidence that he is and experienced much of what he claimed. He's not here asking for handouts, either. Not sure who you think he's trying to con. If you think he's playing up his story to sell a book or movie, then every autobiographer is a con artist by that right. For those claiming he has some mental health issues, are you surprised? Experiencing what he did at age 7 would be enough to ruin most people. It's no wonder he took to a life of theft and drugs in early adulthood. And he freely admitted to how awful of a person he was. You can tell that he hates the person he was. He never said he didn't belong in jail, but he certainly didn't deserve the extent of hell he went through. Regarding him having a "Messiah" complex, there is probably some truth to that. But if you've been down to the bottom of hell and stayed for a while, like he has, and somehow crawled your way back up, you'd be proud of yourself and every positive contribution you make. And for good reason. I bet he feels like a champion every time a single person claims that he's helped. He never thought he could do so much good for others, so of course he's proud of himself. This is a broken man that has crawled out from the depths of hell and is simply trying to get by with a message of positivity. Don't give him your money. Just take his message and do some good in the world.

[@TheGameFreak013]

if someones been told that they are a monster for 40+ years of their life and now suddenly people are praising, ofcourse hes gonna have a messiah complex, his definition of "normal" has always been people telling him that he doesnt deserve to live and now hes getting the opposite, ofcourse hes gonna be proud of himself

[@williamrunner6718]

There is VERY clear EVIDENCE that he's a liar! He lied to the police in order to get his ass off the hook in the first place according to him and then he even admitted to be a liar. There's too many fanciful things in his story also, this guy has a knack for telling crazy stories. I am not blaming him for his lies either because it appears that he suffers from mental illness that is a direct cause of the nonsense that he speaks of.

[@spongebork]

@William Runner: He is quite open about that he lied. That's what young people in such a fucked up situation do. You possibly might do the same. It doesn't matter though. What matters though is that there is FACTUAL EVIDENCE that he was indeed on death row. Fact. There is factual evidence that he was wrongly committed to death row. There's factual evidence that the "justice system" took 21 years of this mans life. That is all fact, and you can not disprove it. Is everything else he states about the abuse he suffered correct? Who knows? You certainly can't proof it. He can't proof much of it. But are you telling me that someone trying to turn his life around, after WAITING TO GET KILLED FOR 21 YEARS is not someone you can at least give the benefit of the doubt? Does he have a "mental illness"? Maybe. After all the abuse he suffered, why wouldn't he? Again, you can't prove any of that. You're just talking out of your asshole. You should step back and have a serious look at yourself. There is something seriously wrong with yourself.

A comment from the Joe Rogan sub reddit I found VERY interesting: “I've been pondering whether or not it was of any worth to post this. I've decided I feel that I should. Nick and I met last year. I'd heard his story on another podcast, and it intrigued me. I reached out to him to book him as a speaker at a professional conference that I was on the organizing committee of. He came, did his talk which went over very well, and the two of us got speaking and formed a friendship, or at least the start of one. From our initial meetings it was clear that Nick had a lot of problems. Many, many problems. How could he not? The real issues started for me though, when I kept catching him in lies. Lies about his 'story', about his life currently. When anyone would challenge him on these lies, he'd get extremely angry. Scarily so. He'd bang his fists, screamingly deny telling different stories, snarl abuse, go on the defensive. To see him so angry was almost like seeing a dog turn on you...he tries - very hard, I think - to be softly spoken, prides himself on being polite, gracious and forgiving. Until he's not. And when he's not it's like a different person comes out. I once saw him squeeze a glass so hard in anger that it snapped in his hands, blood everywhere...just because somebody in his friend group jokingly corrected a word he mispronounced. His command of vocabulary is another thing he takes very seriously. I quickly learned that Nick has an 'entourage' - for lack of a better word. A group of people that are almost constantly with him. In the group are spiritualists, faith healers, psychics and the like. They are very influential, and have convinced Nick that he is 'a divine angel on this earth' in his own words. Nick revealed a very complicated relationship with his ex. She has accused him of menacing levels of stalking. I believe there is a restraining order, or at least was. He has a great deal of anger towards her that has often bubbled over in front of me just speaking about her. Regarding his daughter and the locals 'driving him out of town', from what I've heard he wasn't driven out. He ran. Things were very...worrying. He 'predicted' injuries to his daughter more than once - asking for funds and donations after these injuries - long before her eventual death. Money was a big motivator for Nick and he didn't seem to care how he got it. He was very open about asking. Thinking back, every single time we met he asked for money at some point. At times, for huge sums for something like 'film rights' (I don't work in the film or even media industry. I don't write either. I have no business owning film rights to anything). At times he'd just ask for 'a few hundred to get straight' or even 'can you pay for my dinner/beer' with no reason given. He was very forward in asking and had no shame about it. During our conversations, I found out that he'd received $4million compensation from the state of Pennsylvania. I never found out where that money went, but it was clear Nick no longer had it and he didn't seem to have anything to show for it either. That's one of many mysteries surrounding the man that I'd love an answer to. I ended the friendship with him within a few weeks. He's a very troubled individual. Ultimately, I started out sympathetic towards Nick. Now I would be genuinely scared to be in his presence. This is all tip-of-the-iceberg cliffnotes. And it's all from 4 or 5 meetings. This wasn't over the span of months or years of letting your guard down with a close friend.”

Seeing grace in that you were able to do what you have, ... There are a lot of people hurting in this world. A lot of them take with them the bitterness that life has strewn around them. Dedicating your time and awareness to the betterment of yourself and those around you, is purely inspirational man.

I think it's totally unfair to judge a man's honesty based on his words, mannerisms, and body language.

Growing up without a father leaves a gap that, even at 36 years old, still feels impossible to fill. It's like carrying a weight you can’t quite put down. Recently, I spoke with an older man, over 60, who shared a similar story. His father left when he was very young, and he told me, even decades later, the emptiness hasn’t gone away. He said he felt lost without someone to guide him, and he admitted that much of his life was spent seeking advice in all the wrong places. Hearing his words struck a deep chord within me because I feel the same. Despite having so much more than many others, there’s still an emptiness, a void I can’t seem to fill. It’s heartbreaking to think about how important a father’s presence truly is in shaping a man’s life. Without it, so many of us are left searching-searching for purpose, guidance, and identity. I’ve made it my mission to be the father I never had for my two sons. I want to give them everything I lacked: stability, love, and someone they can always count on. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t worry. Am I teaching them the right lessons? Am I giving them what they need to become strong, grounded men? This message is personal, but it’s universal. Fathers matter more than we can ever measure. For those of us who grew up without one, the absence leaves a wound that doesn’t easily heal. But for our sons, for the next generation, we have the power to change that story. (P.s sorry for this long message just a very deep topic for me)
