b'Pride. When it\\u2019s channeled right, it\\u2019s a good thing. Pride in our accomplishments, or those of our loved ones, is great. But it\\u2019s not for nothin\\u2019 that pride is one of the seven deadly sins. When it goes unchecked, ya see, it tends to create a particular kind of tunnel vision. A lens through which you can only see what you want to see, and anything that doesn\\u2019t fit within that view becomes too threatening. Gets ignored, or denied\\u2026or covered up. Apply that to a homicide investigation, and you\\u2019ve got a disaster in the making. We\\u2019re about to hear about a case like that, where justice fell victim to pride. A case where one detective\\u2019s arrogant one-sightedness stole ten years of a young man\\u2019s life, and left a grieving family without answers.
