Ep 2. Bridge and Tunnel Vision

Hayes Morrison and her Conviction Integrity Unit team are back with another case that requires their attention in the second episode of "Conviction". Titled "Bridge and Tunnel Vision", the episode sees the team come across a murder case from over a decade ago that doesn't sit right with them.

The case revolves around a man named José Ramirez who was convicted of a murder that occurred during a gang-related drive-by shooting. Despite the lack of solid evidence linking him to the crime, Ramirez was found guilty and sentenced to life in prison. However, there are doubts about his guilt, and the CIU's investigation reveals that Ramirez may not have been the shooter at all.

As they dig deeper into the case, the team uncovers a tangled web of lies and cover-ups that point to a different suspect altogether. However, there are those who will stop at nothing to keep the truth from coming out, and the team soon find themselves in danger as they work to uncover the truth behind the murder.

The episode also delves into the personal lives of the team members as Hayes continues to deal with the fallout of her mother's presidential campaign and her own troubled past. Meanwhile, Maxine has to confront her own biases as she discovers that the victim in the case was a transgender woman.

As the team races against time to clear Ramirez's name and find the real killer, they face opposition from all sides, including the NYPD and the DA's office. But they are determined to see justice served in a case that has been plagued by tunnel vision and prejudice for far too long.

Overall, "Bridge and Tunnel Vision" is a suspenseful and thought-provoking episode of "Conviction" that highlights the complexities of the criminal justice system and the importance of examining cases from all angles before coming to a conclusion. With strong performances from the cast, including Hayley Atwell as Hayes Morrison and Eddie Cahill as DA Conner Wallace, the episode is a must-watch for fans of the show and anyone interested in true crime dramas.
