Summary
Justice Restored is a true story of two young men who meet one early morning in Albany, New York. Gary Geiger is an amateur athlete who works the night shift at a motel close to New York's state capitol. Wayne Blanchard is a high school drop out, on parole from a robbery of a pizza delivery man back in Syracuse. Wayne and five of his partners decide to rob the motel. They hear that due to tourism, there may be up to $50, 000 in the safe. In the course of the robbery they find only $150 dollars. Thinking they have knocked Gary out, the gang splits. Wayne takes a final look in and sees Gary running to a door. Is he going to pull an alarm? Wayne shoots, turns and runs to the getaway car. Gary is seriously wounded. After leaving the state, Wayne is finally apprehended and tried. Based on Gary's testimony, Wayne is convicted and sentenced to twelve and one half to twenty-five years in prison. Gary suffers post-traumatic stress for years and feels the only way he can finally recover is to meet with Wayne in the correctional facility. Dr. Thomas Christian from the New York State Unified Court System prepares Gary and Wayne to have a victim and offender mediation. Home Box Office hears about the meeting and receives permission from all parties to film the encounter.
