About our Guests
The journey for Kate, Deacon Andy, Julie and Michael these two sets of parents 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.
If you’re not familiar with the Grosmaire’s and McBride’s story, we encourage you to listen to their episode of CMN’s Encounters With Dignity podcast.
