[Recording] Fireside Chat: Two Families Restorative Justice Journey

The journey for these two sets of parents – Kate, Deacon Andy, Julie and Michael – began in March 2010 after Ann Grosmaire was tragically shot and killed by her boyfriend Conor McBride. Unsatisfied by the status quo of legal proceedings, the Grosmaire and McBride parents successfully advocated for restorative justice to shape the plea agreement in Tallahassee, Florida, where the process was little known and had never been used in a capital crime. Through faith, hope, and community engagement, these parents have worked diligently to bring something positive out of the death of one couple’s daughter at the hands of the other’s son.

In this 1-hour webinar recording, listen to the powerful stories of how the Grosmaire and McBride families’s own personal experience with restorative justice led them to work, both together and apart, for the benefit of the community and social justice nationwide.
