About this listen
On June 14th, 1991 at 2:15am, five armed teenagers broke into a home in Salinas, CA, believing there was a safe with cash inside the house. For 48 minutes, they tortured a mother, a father, and their 17 year-old daughter. When the family did not produce a safe, they began raping the daughter, causing her father to resist and fight. The father was shot and killed.
Twenty years later, I sat in a prison visiting room with one of the five inmates and witnessed his attempt to make amends to the mother. And I witnessed her forgiveness.
In this episode, I am reunited with the mother, Cheryl Ward-Kaiser for a powerful interview about the true meaning of restorative justice, and the power of forgiveness and accountability.
