8th Quote Analysis :The 57 Bus “What he did was a terrible thing,” Jasmine said after Richard was charged. “I’m not trying to defend his actions because it was very terrible.” Even so, she said, Richard was a kid, a kid who was capable of making an exceedingly dumb mistake, but one who was also capable of learning from it. This remark is made by Jasmine before Slater presents the concept of restorative justice, but it is based on the same premise, which is that Richard, the offender who committed the crime, may be able to benefit from actually learning something from it, and that he and Sasha, the victim, may be able to come to an understanding with one another. Jasmine's remark comes before Slater's presentation of the concept of restorative justice.
