Janice Nicolich

Janice Winblad Nicolich (August 9, 1935 – June 28, 1996) was an American woman who was killed in a car accident by a drunk driver.

During the trial Nicolich's daughter wrote that she had forgiven the drunk driver and urged that the court do likewise.

The subsequent court case led to a Nebraska Supreme Court decision on the issue of leniency in drunk driving deaths.

The story was part of an The Oprah Winfrey Show and the book The Road To Forgiveness: Hearts Shattered by Tragedy, Transformed by Love.
