When longtime Nike executive Larry Miller sat down with SI last fall to discuss for the first time his criminal past, including a homicide at age 16, he hoped his disclosure would provide a public service of sorts—proof that anyone, even a convicted felon, can find rehabilitation and redemption and build a better life. Now Miller has gained something even more valuable: forgiveness.
Miller recently met for the first time with the family of the man he killed, Edward David White, who was 18 years old when Miller shot him on a West Philadelphia street corner in 1965.
