* VillainByProxyFallacy: The episode was based on the real life Intratec TEC-9, and it involved [[McCoy]] pursuing a gun manufacturer because the company intentionally made their semiautomatic weapons easy to retool; five times as many bullets fired in a minute. The piece of evidence which directly proved the company's greedy motivations, an e-mail correspondence, was thrown out due to confidentiality agreements. The jury convicts the manufacturers for depraved indifference. The verdict is then thrown out by the judge, who disagreed with McCoy's tactics in pursuing this case.

Enhanced Interrogation Techniques: Det. Green was very gentle to Dennis Trope interrogating; however, he established an atmosphere of coercion that, for some reason, rendered the confessions inadmissible.

* HollywoodLaw: Once arrested, Dennis Trope confesses to the police. The judge in the case, however, excludes the confession on the grounds that the suspect's mother had told Lt. van Buren that she was calling a lawyer for her son, and that the police therefore had no right to continue the interview, since the suspect's right to counsel had been invoked. The problem is that Trope was not a minor, and, as such, his mother could not invoke his right to counsel for him. If he was properly Mirandized, and did not invoke his right to an attorney, nor his right to remain silent, then the police had every right to continue questioning him.
* KarmaHoudini: Dennis Trope only gets 15 years for killing 15 people, much to the anger of the victims' families. Also Rolf Firearms, depending on which side you agree with.
Unlike on TV and in movies, there is almost no instance of use of automatic weapons in crime in the USA.
