katy hutchison and restorative justice

:: 6 Comments :: Article Rating :: family, letting go, grief, guest blogger
 

On December 31st, 1997 my husband Bob excused himself briefly from our small dinner party to check on a teen's house party taking place down the street at the home of a vacationing friend. He never returned. Bob was beaten to death as he attempted to break up the party and I was left widowed with two small children. It took an undercover police operation to break the code of silence that shrouded the small town we lived in, and finally, five years later an arrest was made. Police were stunned by my request to meet the young man who was charged in connection with Bob's death. That face-to-face meeting was the first step in forever changing my perception of real justice.

Perception pays an important role in ones life.Everything depends upon how you perceive a situation.When your husband was killed you had a different perception about the killer ,but when you saw the killer your perception change.Different person perceive differently.Its all Mind Game.
