* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Rebecca is freed at the end of the episode because Peter drops the charges against her. This is a common trope but unrealistic nonetheless. Dropping the charges is not a black and white issue. Rebecca attacked Peter in front of a packed courtroom, so Peter's cooperation is not needed, and he could be called to testify even if he didn't want to. Additionally, she committed several other crimes not related to what she did to Peter, such as endangering others (she's lucky she only hit Peter) and sneaking a weapon into a courtroom, charges that wouldn't be dismissed out of sympathy.
