Nicholas Yarris was sentenced to death for a crime he didn’t commit and ended up serving twenty-two years on Death Row, this harrowing experience shaping the rest of his life inexorably. After finally being released Nicholas has now moved away from his homeland of Philadelphia, USA and now lives with his family in the UK.
Dalla quarta di copertina
'Somewhere in each of us is the blackest pit from which few ever return. I had found mine.’
On 1 July 1982 Nick Yarris was found guilty of the murder of Mrs Linda Mae Craig and was sentenced to death.
For the next twenty-two years Nick fought for his freedom, protesting his innocence and pinning his ever-diminishing hopes on new advances in forensic evidence, becoming the first Death Row prisoner in the United States to be granted a request for DNA testing.
With appeal after appeal failing, Yarris was not only fighting against his sentence but his own internal battle to persevere.
As the constant tension of life on Death Row ate away at him, Yarris found solace in the few precious books that he was allocated each week, his only tangible connection to the outside in his windowless world.
Little did Yarris know he was holding the key to his cell in his hands.
Fear of 13 is the gripping story of one man’s struggle for his sanity and his life.
