Background information and notes[]

  • This episode began with a disclaimer, telling viewers that the adversarial Bronx County District Attorney seen in the episode was in no way intended as a depiction of real-life Bronx DA Robert Johnson.
  • Goof: McCoy refers to his boss as "him" instead of "her" when offering a plea deal to opposing counsel and the accused.
