People who have neurological differences are often viewed with suspicion and told that their reactions, the way they express themselves ect are not "normal". I live with a wonderful guy who has Asperger's, and though he is kind, honest and loving I've heard people say he "sounds creepy" because he's overly precise in speaking. He can't help it. This guy is obviously "Neuro Divergent" as they call it ( I used to do Job placement for disabled people). I think he expressed himself very well, and is obviously very intelligent. I have also been though some really abusive, awful experiences, and one of the ways I cope at this point is sometimes by under reacting. For example, I broke my femur and they wouldn't believe it was actually broken until the x rays came back because I wasn't crying and screaming enough. We all cope differently to the traumas in our lives.

Please spare a tear for the innocent girl yarris raped and murdered. Google actual Court documents, read up on the facts and you will have no doubt that yarris is a cold, cunning rapist and murderer.

[@candicehay3823]

I cannot put into words the unbelievable level of respect I have for his man.

[@kruglov]

@candicehay3823 Please search actual case facts -- it will change the way you look at yarris. Start by googling "Com. v. Yarris :: 1988 :: 549 A.2d 513 Supreme Court of Pennsylvania" this is the Appeal from 1988 which has a summary of the original Court decision, the appeal argument and why the appeal was denied. Ever since released, yarris got a publisher and money from the Civil Suite, constructed a fictional fairy tale, which paints him innocent, and goes around reciting this story to paying audiences. He is a cunning manipulator, who learned to sell his story really well. But if you look at case facts, not only there is a mountain of evidence against yarris, he does not have an alibi for the night of the crime, he stalked the victim for days (her colleagues picked yarris as a man who frequented the store and spoke to the victim on a number of occasions days prior). When arrested, yarris knew intricate details about the case which were not public. And finally, yarris confessed to his involvement at first, then rape, then the whole thing and was asking for a plea deal. When police refused to give him a plea deal, he tried to get out of the statements he made but the Court did not let him. The gloves story, if one looks at the actual facts, is a technicality which allowed to create enough reasonable doubt to warrant a case re-trial. IMPORTANT: the gloves scenario did not prove yarris innocent! It only created enough reasonable doubt for a re-trial. Prosecution was given 90 days to re-prosecute but at that point, it was 22 years later, people moved on and evidence was destroyed. The prospect of successful prosecution was now exceptionally slim. As such, the prosecution office decided to not proceed with another trial and yarris was freed. yarris was never proven innocent. He is absolutely a rapist and a murdered. He got what he deserved inside -- if any of his tales are true. He may have rehabilitated and he may be safe for the community now. But he is by far, not innocent.

Look into the case details and actual reasons why he was released. He absolutely did murder the girl. He got out on a technicality with a single piece of evidence - a random glove found in the car. There was a mountain of evidence pointing toward him which he chooses not to disclose. He only talks about this random glove that was found in the girls car and there was no nicks dna on it. This created enough reasonable doubt to release him after 20 years in lockup (or however long he was locked up for).

@@kruglov I looked into it - the facts are against you. An attorney twisted the facts of the case in regards to the murder/rape in order to get a conviction. The local court was driven to resolve - not solve - the case in order to bring the community to rest - so they focused on getting a conviction instead of continuing to investigate the case. You, sir, are either a troll trying to make people angry, or you are sorely lacking in critical thinking skills.

[@kruglov]

I dare say you have not looked into the case enough. yarris was convicted on a mountain of solid evidence against him. Except that the glove was not brought up in original Court proceedings. In 2004 yarris’ lawyers argued that the glove should have been brought up in Court. yarris’ conviction was set aside and Court allowed prosecutors 90 days to mount a new prosecution case. At that point in was 20 years after the crime and most evidence was now not available. Prosecutors did not re-prosecute. As such, yarris was released. The DNA story arch is made up, it played no part in yarris being released. Yes, he talks about DNA in his later Civil case and in his books and shows. But in actual fact, DNA did not set yarris free.

[@kruglov]

@roxannetoth5026 yarris' distinct way of conversing and his mesmerising stare were among the traits that store staff described when they picked yarris from police line-up during investigation, when the store staff reported how yarris was frequenting the store for several days, stalking the victim. The poor girl even complained to her husband that a weird man keeps coming to her booth which made her feel uncomfortable. From early on in the investigation, yarris knew intricate details about the case which were not public knowledge. He did not have an alibi. He later confessed first to being involved, then to rape, then to the whole thing. He asked for a plea deal and when there was no deal offered, yarris attempted to backpedal out of his statements which he gave voluntarily on at least 3 occasions, when yarris called for detectives to come into the prison to interview him. But the Court refused and yarris' confessions were admitted as evidence. The glove solution was a genius find by yarris' legal team. They discovered a piece of evidence entered early in the case by police with a description along the lines of "these gloves could have been worn by the murderer". The lawyers argued that the gloves should have been admitted during the trial. The police argued back that the gloves were clearly not yearris' because they were too small. Note that the dna test proved nothing new, it was just a way to get a closed case off the shelf, i.e. there is a new technological way to interrogate a piece of evidence, etc. Eventually, the Court agreed and said that enough reasonable doubt exists to warrant a new trial. As such, previous conviction was set aside and prosecution were given 90 days to re-prosecute with a new case and a new trial. But obviously by now, 22 years later, it was no longer probable to get a successful conviction and prosecution did not proceed with a new case. That's when yarris was free. He was never proven innocent. He was freed on a technicality and prosecution's inability to re-construct a new case for a new trial, 22 years later, when most of the evidence was already destroyed by then. Since release, yarris filed a Civil Suite and got a publisher. He now goes around the world selling his lies and manipulating his story to make good people feel sad for this pathetic rapist and murderer. He may very well have rehabilitated during the 22 years stay in prison. He may be safe for the Community. He may have paid his dews with 22 years of his life. But he is not innocent.

Plus getting assaulted and almost sexually assaulted by a man causes the brain to catch fire with anger. This anger is going to also manifest in criminal behaviors in some cases. There’s always going to be a reaction to brain wiring being affected. I’m not saying forgive yourself I’m saying release that narrative of responsibility. The brain caused it. It’s no one’s fault.

​@@kruglovbut dna didn't match then how?

[@kruglov]

​@@m.abhishekvarma3655 you need to look at the full facts of the case to understand it. when yarris was arrested, he disclosed to the police a lot of information which was not public at the time. For example, Yarris knew that there was a car involved, that the car was brown and that it had a leather roof. he also said to the police that the girl was raped. This was not public info at the time. the supermarket staff picked yarris as a stalker who frequented the store for days prior to murder. he stalked the victim and spoke to her many times which made her feel uncomfortable and she complained to her husband about this guy who keeps coming to our store etc. yarris broke up with his gf at the time and victim resembled his x very closely. yarris said on multiple occasions that he should have killed his x. when he says he "read about the murder in the paper" in fact he was kept in a maximum security ward, there were no papers there. and it may come as a surprise to you, but yarris admitted to the crime in at least 3 interviews. first he said that he only drove some guy to the scene, then he said he only raped but the other guy did the stabbing, then he fully confessed but he was asking for a plea deal. when police did not give him a plea deal, he went back on his statements. but these were still accepted by the Court as admissible evidence because yarris called detectives in himself, he was not coerced or pressured in any way to give these confessions, he did it on his own accord. now to dna. the gloves found in the car were picked up by police and checked into evidence with description along the lines of "these gloves COULD have been worn by the criminal". police knew 100% that the gloves were too small for yarris and never brought the gloves up. but what yarris' legal team did was they went over all of the recorded evidence and said: hey, if you are saying that the gloves could have been worn by the murderer and since we all know (as result of size and dna tests) that gloves are not yarris' then you should drop the charges. the police argued that ok, the gloves are not yarris' but we don't know whose gloves these are, whether these gloves even played any role in the crime or the victim found them in the parking lot with intention to hand them in. or whatever! we just dont know what these gloves are! but yarris legal team found a legal precedent and argued that since police gave weight to these gloves in the evidence sheet and wrote them up as "could have been worn by the perpetrator" then this evidence needs to be weighted in in favour of the non-moving party -- yarris in this case. and as such, charges were dropped prosecutors were given 90 days to consider re-prosecuting yarris, but by that time most of the evidence was destroyed and it was just not going to work. besides, he did do 22 years of extremely harsh jail time (being a rapist-murdered he had it tough) so the prosecutors decided to not go ahead with it ever since then, yarris, lawered up, filed a civil , got a publisher and goes around selling his bullshit story to ppl who are too lazy to look into the facts. yarris is a rapist and murderer. no doubts about it at all.

[@glitch3818]

​@@kruglov dna didn't match, ergo he's innocent.

[@kruglov]

@@glitch3818 yarris tells the DNA story in his his Civil Case and in his storytelling when in actuality, DNA played next to no part in his Criminal Case. The glove that was found in the girls car was written up as evidence by the police when they were collecting crime scene evidence. The investigators later looked at the glove and were of the opinion that the glove was too small to fit yarris. As such, investigators never put any weight on the glove. And so, when yarris went on trial, the glove was not brought up in Court. Prosecutors did not need this glove. They had a mountain of solid evidence against yarris. So yarris got convicted. In 2004, a new group of lawyers, probably those type that work pro-bono on cases which can later fetch a handsome Civil pay-out, they re-examined yarris' case and said: hey, wait a minute, here we have the glove in police evidence, here it was in the discovery but it was not brought to light in Court! That's not fair to our client, he should have had the opportunity to evaluate all the evidence during Trial, including the glove. The Court sided with the defence and yarris' murder conviction was set aside. The Court gave prosecution 90 days to mount a new prosecution case. The idea being that Police Prosecutors were supposed to prosecute yarris from scratch, a new Trial would have been needed -- the works. But it was 2004 by then! All or most of the evidence would have been destroyed, witnesses no longer available. Prosecutors failed to mount a new case. yarris was freed. Do you see DNA anywhere in this? Whatever yarris tells the audience is a scripted, carefully thought out lie. It bares little connection to what really transpired. yarris later filed a Civil case against the Government and got a healthy playout. He also has a professional publisher behind him, who helps yarris with continuing to profit from his story. Which is a made up story that sells.

Hey man, I am 32 years old and a former heroin/cocaine addict. I also wasted 12 years of my life during that time. I have often compared my life to others and all the things I missed out on. My youth, my 20s, were filled only with darkness and drug use. No parties, no real friends. Even when I got clean, I was still depressed, but I felt I just had to move on. Accept the situation as it is, adapt to it, move on and be grateful for everything you have in life. My life is great now, I am happier than ever. And I have also accepted my past and would not change the fact that it made me the man I am today, despite all the things I have been through. You are on a good path. Remember the things that have gone wrong in your life, analyse the actions and decisions you have taken, your mistakes and use them to develop into a better person. Make decisions based on rational thought rather than letting your emotions sabotage you. The best medicine is to focus to rid yourself of dark, unproductive thoughts. For me, that was working in construction in the beginning. That kept me busy (mentally), I worked all day until my whole body ached, ate a big home-cooked meal after work and then fell asleep. Try meditating, five minutes a day, and then increase until you get to an hour. When the thoughts come up, treat them like a TV advertisement and do not react to them, but let them pass and keep focusing on your breath. Also, write down what you need to do the next day to structure your life. Stop comparing your life to others, you can still make something of it. Do not let therapists pump you full of pills. There is so much I could tell you, but that would be way too much for one comment.

The guy makes himself a hero in every story. A telling aspect of a social-path

[@erikwinkler]

I want to know how you would deal with these ordeals. You would be the one jumping head down in jail after three weeks. Not to imagine how you would hold yourself if you might come out alive. People get shells shocked, ptss; so in his right he can be as weird as he wants.

[@sirgregarious2099]

i don't know. i didn't catch that during the interview. Seemed like he was just telling his perspective. You might be right though.

[@hughhunt1800]

@@erikwinkler 'I had to learn all these mixed martial arts, I'm probably the most dangerous person... And I could kill you as you sit there' 'I have the most beautiful voice on earth' Do these statements not sound sociopathic to you? Granted the guy's had terrible luck. That doesn't exclude him from being a sociopath.

[@ghadasafwat9158]

The man was put on deathrow for 18 years, while innocent. He has been tortured and did not lose his sanity and managed to not kill himself or sombody else in the process and now he fights for people with the same destiny. On top of that he does not blame his faith on anyone but himself by admitting he brought it upon himself by using the death of a woman he had nothing to do with to get out of another charge. How is he not a hero ?

[@Abii-s]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@hughhunt1800 and I bet you think every sociopath is evil right? After everything he’s been through, everything he’s overcome, you can understand why he’d say this. He literally mentioned that he read books and educated himself so that he could speak beautifully. And when he said that he was the most dangerous person, that was obviously a hyperbole, that he not only had the knowledge, the experience and the physical ability, but also the mental strength to overcome whatever. He also took accountability, “I never want anyone to think that I am not responsible for putting myself on death row”, “I destroyed my family”

[@laika3916]

He reminds me of a Canadian guy I know who says he knows martial arts and that he could kill you in an instant and is the absolute best and most intelligent at everything. All his views are extreme, strongly expressed, and very macho, while doubt or nuance are alien to him. He has no interest in others, but can feign it, and wears you out after about five minutes.

[@freebird3348]

Yep, definitely get those vibes. Guy is painful.

[@darkerdaemon7794]

I saw his poscast with joe Rogan and even that one seemed fake af.

[@janebuckland737]

This was a compelling watch! This man has truly travelled The Refiners Fire ❤❤❤

[@derFr0sty]

I found it so sad yet funny how Nick laughed when asked if the gladiator fights were prosecuted

[@simonspoke]

Wow! This was intense!

[@freebird3348]

Why would you answer the phone if your son was having a seizure at your feet, and in immediate, desperate need of assistance so among other things, he didn’t choke or bite his tongue off?

[@danb2936]

She probably recognised the number...answered and then the seizure was going on...she helped the son as she was more concerned about him than the innocence phone call.. Just watched the whole thing..what a story. Amazing how he gives all the details too ❤❤❤

[@joereynolds818]

Sounds like he's reading a book

[@paulgately2272]

Told the story countless times

[@Highisthighs]

You must live a boring life if you never did something fun dumb or weird and told the story to ur friends kids/family so many times it becomes mundane

[@melcuta]

That's because he suffers from aphasia. He said so in the introduction.

[@EcchiPlaysGames]

Sounds like he had head trauma as a kid

[@bloochoob]

Look up aphasia, that affects speech patterns. Definitely relevant to his speech here

[@jacquelinejudge1659]

Never ever heard such a brilliant oration

[@keliahx445]

What an amazing story teller.

[@PureMischiefAliCarter]

Listening to you helped me today x

This guy sounds like he’s trying to convince you real hard. Like ok bro, we get it..

[@neilparry9511]

Omg more of the ever evolving story of Nick Yarris.

[@i.ehrenfest349]

What do you mean, ever evolving, Neil?

[@AlfonzoZayas-h7w]

Sad what happened to this guy, he should really just be natural you can tell he's been practicing his life story for years but it takes away....

[@BrittanyPotter-p2w]

I really hope this guy has wrote a book because that's exactly what it sounds like as I listened to him as if he's reading a book

[@LethoHali]

The American justice system is sooooo corrupt!!! 😢😢😢😢😢💔.

[@imjust.9867]

Mind blown…. Wishing nick all the best… if anyone deserves it, it’s him

[@TomsPakulis]

This is the most insane story ever

[@mellisagreen7801]

It is amazing how one traumatic event can change the course of someone's life. His assault resulted in alcohol and drug abuse, which led to stealing which then led to a murder charge, prison and endless abuse. Seems like the prison staff were no different from prisoners. Some of the criminals were in cells and others were in uniforms.

[@donnabalnaves6452]

Thank you Sir for telling your truth

[@joshwb4lif329]

He’s had ALOTTTTTTT OF TIMEEEE to build and “TELL” his story….like he’s reading from a book he sounds like it’s been “written” in his head and he’s just been WAITINGGGG to tell it all…..good for GOD to bring this innocent man into justice…too bad our justice system doesn’t give us all fair and pure feelings..always being bias in SOME TYPE of way and having the “chosen” jury for what the crime and how the feeling of the “personal” kind of mind…….glad your out, GOD BLESS, and keep your nose clean lol

[@AcerbusCastus]

"Following another divorce, Yarris returned to the UK and married for a fourth time, moving from Somerset to Oregon.[18] The couple separated in February 2021. Yarris was arrested roughly a week after. He pled guilty to criminal mistreatment and theft, leading to a month in jail and a sentence of two years' probation in Curry County, Oregon."

[@Puddlesmolly]

Really enjoyed that ... Thankyou

[@Perdmperdm]

The finest speaker alive 😂😂😂 he's a great guy and truly unfortunate notwithstanding

[@MrWrongsalive]

His story needs to be a film on par with Shawshank Redemption with all the ugly parts left in. Just the raw truth.

[@wasabinator]

Woah this is amazing.

[@Granny_Cat_Lady]

What a soothing voice Nick has ...

[@richardkerchevall98]

Is it just me?..... I find his story is so god awful I find it hard to believe. He said he went against 50 ppl in these gladiator matches... I don't know if I believe anyone can go through 50 matches and still be able to fight and walk.

[@danielschander6586]

16:20 sounds like he is reliving how the prosecution painted the picture that day in court.

[@DineshPeiris-bd4uc]

I'm not from Scotland, Wales or England, I'm from sri Lanka I still feel you, leart a lot and and yeah I came to know where I stand right now and where I should , I feel like I just red a meaningful book, and thanks Ben for doing this

The best podcast interview I've ever heard bar none at least up until this point. For some reason I believe this guy. I may be nieve but I really don't think so.

[@somebodyelse8893]

Amazing interview.

[@doasyoulikefawkes7127]

This MAN is a rare example of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. In his case he's herculean crossed with eros.👏😇

I remember this man on the Joe Rogan podcast and what a crazy story he has absolutely shocking what happened to him and luckily proved that he was innocent

[@jmar3956]

Nick is very inspirational ❤

[@shelflife8075]

Incredibly moving

[@anita_R]

Mesmerised. Such a brilliant man.

[@kruglov]

The victim was also mesmerised by him. Enough at least to get in the car with him and drive out into a wooded area on a dirt side road. He absolutely did murder that girl. He was let off on a technicality with a single piece of evidence - a random glove found in victim’s car. The other mountain of evidence pointed at him as the murderer. But because there was no dna of his on this glove it created enough reasonable doubt for the judge to set him free. But he would not tell you that, he wants to sit there like a beautiful white python with bunch of mesmerised bunnies listening to his fairy tales. Look into his case, facts are public record.

[@itsruckaswife7036]

I’ve seen his documentary he is the most amazing person I have ever heard of

[@SchwindelIg-o1x]

Interesting to see how his story changes over the years. Also, his sock puppets are already in the comment section.

[@sirgregarious2099]

has it? i've never heard of this guy. I would think most of his stories could be verified to some extent.

[@You-Tuber2024]

@@Real-Ruby-RedKZbin him and listen to a few of his interviews. He done one with Dodge Woodhall and Joe Rogan just to name a couple

[@roselee4445]

Perhaps he blocked memory until he could cope or trust
