When a smash repair shop explodes, a declining Barrister must infringe his professional code by encouraging his son to restore justice by convincing a Court to set aside his own client?s acquittal.
I would throw a twist. Make the son the protagonist and a cop/FBI agent/prosecutor. ?Put him in the situation where he had to decide whether to use information revealed to him by the father during one of his alzheimer episodes.

Should I keep quiet and let a terrorist go free, use the information without revealing my source (that may have implication for the father if he still does some consulting work)?
Also can the son tries to trick his father or even induce episodes in his father to prevent further bloodshed?
When the guilty terrorist his lawyer father helped getting acquitted starts a new campaign of terror, a prosecutor must break professional code to extract from his father who now has early onset of Alzheimer information to stop further bloodshed.

I agree with Paul except with having to know why he gets a second chance. In?Groundhog Day, we never learns why he was giving a second chance and nor does the audience cares.

What is the genre intended, because the same concept has been played as comedy (Groundhog Day), action/thriller (Day Break), horror/thriller (Happy Death Day).
Your logline does not contain any info regarding the protagonist. What does he do? What kind of man is he: kind, courageous, meek, assertive, …? What is the status of his marriage: happy, separated…?
Like Nir said, an accidental death makes him a more palatable protagonist, but even if it was deliberate, maybe has an excuse and the use of a qualifier on the wife (bunny boiler, mentally unstable, …) or the status of the marriage could help.
When he starts relieving the day of his death, an happy married lawyer must find a way to avoid unwittingly killing himself and his wife.

Sounds like a female version of Mel Gibson’s character in?What Women Want.
Is it intended as a comedy, drama, coming of age, medical thriller or pure SF?
A better logline description of the experiment would be that it had unintended/unexpected consequence rather being botched. Inducing telepathy would be a major discovery in itself. Also if it is the result of scientific experiment, a lot of people especially the military would be after her. ?Her trying to escape the threat to be either dissected or used as a spy weapons would make it a much more visual justification to want to get rid of the ability.
Also getting rid of the telepathy should have a time constraint to create more tension. If it is not life threatening, figuratively or literally, then there is no urgency to resolve the issue. The protagonist can always fix it later without being too negatively impacted.
Regarding the alienation that getting telepathic power can create, the SF book?Dying Inside Is a great classic on the subject.
