Reply To: TRWR: What are some differences between Connie Graff and Brody?
I see more similarities than differences, the biggest similarity being a code or center that tells them they are responsible to seek justice, to serve others in the cause of decency and fairness. And there are certain standards one meets, like Connie Graff resigning as a deputy when he begins to stay with Kyoko. And Brody asking him to do that, even though he values Connie’s friendship and counsel.
I am doubtful Connie Graff would have destroyed evidence by wiping Quinn’s truck of prints. I believe Brody had a clearer view of the extent of prejudice among the people of Jewel. As Nancy mentioned, Brody is willing to walk in the grey areas.
Both Brody and Connie believe Noah Bluestone killed Quinn, even Charlie considers it likely until she talks to Fiona and Marta. When it becomes obvious that their assessment is incorrect, Brody and Connie are both willing to set aside their conclusions and follow the facts. Their different points of view and understandings of their priorities eventually lead them to the same place and to working together to prevent further harm.
