The New Zealand Supreme Court convicted him of murder on 21 November 1905. Originally, he was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life incarceration within New Zealand psychiatric institutions. Over the next 47 years Terry was imprisoned in Christchurch's Sunnyside, Dunedin's Seacliff Lunatic Asylum and Lyttelton Prison. He was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia. This did not prevent some New Zealanders circulating a petition for mitigation of his sentence, although the local Chinese community circulated a counter-petition in response. 222 pages with illustrations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll books are sent free by courier postage within New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePick up from Phoenixbooksnz.com Waimate, South Canterbury.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease see our other listings for more great books: New Zealand History; Maori; First Editions; Signed; War \u0026amp; Military; Vintage \u0026amp; Antique, Hunting, Climbing, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Phoenix Books NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49261696090359,"sku":"","price":28.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7687\/5255\/files\/IMG_0391.jpg?v=1732820718","url":"https:\/\/phoenixbooksnz.com\/en-de\/products\/the-making-of-a-madman-lionel-terry-by-frank-tod-1","provider":"Phoenix Books NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
