[edit] Background information and notes
- This is the only episode of the series in which a long disclaimer was read aloud, pointing out the actual conclusion of the real case, that of Joel and Lisa Steinberg. The fifteenth season episode, "Fixed", brought back the character inspired by Joel Steinberg, Dr. Jacob Lowenstein (played by David Groh), who was killed after being released on parole. The episode was inspired by Steinberg's actual release in 2004.
