This one really bothers me. Larry Miller started out on the wrong path. He joined a gang by meeting its membership requirement of murdering someone. He got drunk and shot the first person he met. He was rehabilitated and went on to have a career as an executive at Nike, running the Jordan account. He recently released a memoir where he revealed his earlier sin and it caught the children of the murdered man flat footed. I mean, I'm glad that he found redemption. If we don't believe that people can be rehabilitated then we're all lost. It just seems like he could have done more to find the family over the years. Writing the book may have helped exorcise some the guilt he carried, but it opened the murder up again for the kids, now adults. Maybe it was unavoidable. He says that he hired a private investigator to find those grown children but was unsuccessful.
