Interesting and entertaining episode! Starts out with a 70's style break in /robbery, police chase beginning. A good direction with the confusion, action etc that police have to go threw. Keller makes the right decision, but must deal with I A. There is a father, witness, and Keller's partner Stone must get all the facts. The middle of A Wrongful Death gets bogged down with the personal drama of the alleged wronged family. The character driven Stone and Keller relationship keeps A Wrongful Death moving forward to the story's climax. The veteran Stone is able to see threw the fog of deceit for the truth. Worth watching 7 stars.
