Dan Lawton - Above The Ground - A True Story of the Troubles in Northern Ireland

November 29
Kevin Barry Artt is an innocent man. His story is a tale of survival and redemption.

In 1983, a British court wrongfully convicts a 23-year-old Irishman, Kevin Barry Artt, of murdering Albert Miles, a British prison official, on behalf of the outlawed Irish Republican Army. The court sentences Kevin to a life term in Britain’s notorious Maze prison.

Seven weeks later, Kevin escapes the Maze. Overnight he becomes Britain’s most wanted fugitive in the world. Kevin makes it to California, where he lives quietly underground.

In 1992, the FBI captures and jails him. For the next eight years in the federal courts in California, Kevin fights the British government’s furious attempt to extradite him back to Northern Ireland. Aided by renowned U.S. trial lawyer Jim Brosnahan, Kevin beats extradition in 2000. But the cloud of his 1983 murder conviction still lurks overhead.

Twenty years later, on May 6, 2020, the Northern Ireland Court of Appeal vindicates Kevin at last, quashing his murder conviction based on detectives’ false testimony at his trial.
