Artful Conviction: The Murder of Peggy Hettrick

Pride. When it’s channeled right, it’s a good thing. Pride in our
accomplishments, or those of our loved ones, is great. But it’s not
for nothin’ 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’t fit within that view becomes too
threatening. Gets ignored, or denied…or covered up. Apply that to a
homicide investigation, and you’ve got a disaster in the making.
We’re about to hear about a case like that, where justice fell
victim to pride. A case where one detective’s arrogant
one-sightedness stole ten years of a young man’s life, and left a
grieving family without answers.
