Concept 4 -- Restorative Justice

A woman has been murdered. Her family was offered an opportunity to meet the killer in controlled circumstances by a restorative justice organization. Her husband agrees to do so. On the night before the meeting is to take place, he argues with his adult daugher and sister in law about his decision.
Ultimately, he chooses not to attend, because having already forgiven the defendant, he has no need for answers. His daughter, originally against the idea, chooses to go. The sister in law severs ties with both of them.
Or some such.

  1. General concept of murder is good...might as well use the double ravartanian to mix it up though...let's say that she arranged her own murder, conttracted him to do it, but left no concrete proof as such. it was a mercy job, really, and he was the good guy...

  4. maybe neither the husband nor the daughter were involved, but the sister in law knew. she doesnt disclose this until well into the argument....
