| Summary: | A report on the Restorative Justice Project, a program at the University of Wisconsin Law school which introduces victims of violent crimes to the convicts who committed those crimes. The project was founded by Angel Wendt, who lost her brother, Michael, to drunk driver Lee Namtvedt. Wendt described her reaction to her brother's death as committing herself to a life of vengeance against Namtvedt, and she founded the Restorative Justice Project after confronting and forgiving him so that she could move on. The program has given victims like Wendt the opportunity to move on from their grief and prisoners an opportunity for redemption. Includes interviews with Angel Wendt, Jackie Millar, and Mary Rezin, all relatives of the victims; Lee Namtvedt, Craig Sussek, and Daniel Cerney, who committed the crimes; and director of the program Jonathan Scharrer. |
