A Daughter’s Quest to Free Her Father’s Killer

Katie Kitchen had always felt some sadness about the fate of the man convicted of murdering her father. On a summer night in 1991, Robert Hans Kaim, a seventy-seven-year-old white real-estate developer, had just pulled into his garage in Houston’s upscale Tanglewood neighborhood when an assailant robbed him at gunpoint, shot him in the chest, and then drove off with his wallet. Nine days later, police arrested a twenty-year-old Black man named Joseff Deon White in connection with the crime.

After Kaim died, Kitchen said, she finally “started showing up for life.” She travelled the globe, got a bachelor’s degree, and, at a hatha-yoga class in Houston, met a financial executive named Paul Kovach, who became her second husband. Kitchen was a liberal, but, as she wrote in her journal, she worried that “there was nothing I could really do to make a difference.” In August of 2014, she attended a two-day symposium, “Making the Change They Want to See,” at an arts center near Snowmass.

Shania Springer, their mediator, declined to speak with me, citing the program’s confidentiality policies. In a promotional video shot by the Department of Criminal Justice last year, she narrates a fictional encounter between a victim, played by a white woman, and an offender, played by a Black man. After completing such sessions, Springer explains, victims often feel that they “finally have some peace.

White completed the rehabilitation program in the spring of 2017. The week he was set to be released, Kitchen flew from New York to Houston, hoping to meet him as he left prison, but she learned at the last minute that the conditions of his parole prohibited him from having contact with her family. Instead, she hired a local filmmaker to record the first hours of White’s freedom, as he moved into his uncle’s home in Houston.

this article made me sick

No matter the 'politics', I found this article thought provoking.

We're an interesting species.

Is this some sort of fan fiction for elite white guilt?

Death Penalty and Welfare reform is the path we need in America. Get help (Welfare) only once in life max 1 year or less. *This change will hit streets hard and make many young thugs choose to stay alive.

More mercy please!

Wherever her dad is buried, they should plant some stuff. The poor old bag is spinning in his grave so much, the soil must be well mulched.

Turning over and over in his grave?

🙄

Now I realize I have to give my kids the “Don’t try to free my murderer” talk.

Sounds like a man's murderer was privileged by the sense of privilege of the murdered man's daughter.

This is gonna seem a lot less wholesome when he kills again.

mmmk
