    Grace After Gunfire Part 2: The Yates Family’s Journey From Tragedy to Forgiveness and Advocacy

    In Episode 3 Part 2 of Voices of the System, we continue our conversation with the Yates family. Additionally, we speak with Claire Liepert of Healing Justice, a one-of-a-kind organization that connects victims and survivors with wrongful convicts.  The Yates family delves into the conversations they had with the individuals convicted of killing Marcus Yates. They come to learn that in 1988, the tragic events surrounding the deadly shooting were nothing like what they were told by law enforcement. For decades, an innocent man has been in prison for murder. Grappling with that reality, the Yates family chooses forgiveness and starts on a long journey to justice.  Episode 3 Part 2 shows the harsh realities of law enforcement and the lengths they will go to for a conviction. Simultaneously, it illustrates how conversation, connection and care can right wrongs.

    Grace After Gunfire Part 1: The Yates Family’s Journey From Tragedy to Forgiveness and Advocacy

    In Episode 3 Part 1 of Voices of the System, we sit down with the Yates family — Bryan and Rochelle Whittington, Malcolm Yates, Anthony (Tony) Yates, and Tanisha Yates — for a deeply moving conversation about unimaginable loss, radical forgiveness, and a lifelong commitment to helping others. In 1988, the family’s life was forever changed when two young boys were shot at a neighborhood candy store. In this episode, Rochelle Whittington shares the moment she learned her sons had been shot — a moment no parent should ever have to endure. What followed was grief that could have hardened any heart. But the Yates family chose a different path. Grounded in faith and a belief in the power of forgiveness, they made the extraordinary decision to get to know the individuals convicted of the crime. Through that process, they uncovered a unimaginable truth. Episode 3 Part 1 is a powerful testament to resilience, faith, and the belief that even in the wake of profound injustice, healing and purpose are possible.
