* TortureIsIneffective: Ichabod's tasking in the Burgomaster's courtroom is preceded by a deleted scene, where an inventor is hawking a "foolproof" interrogation device to the law enforcement authorities. The inventor claims that a suspect placed inside his device - which resembles an iron maiden without spikes - will suffer no permanent injury, but have no choice but to confess the truth. Ichabod traps the inventor in his own device and refuses to release him until he signs a confession to the murder of the man discovered the previous night in the river. Of course the inventor had no involvement in the crime, but he is in so much pain that he signs immediately, and Ichabod facetiously holds up the confession as "proof" of the man's guilt. The part of Ichabod's tirade that innocent people are being convicted based on "evidence" and "confessions" of no more worth than ''"this one"'' made it into the final cut. Considering [[spoiler:what is later revealed to have happened to Ichabod's mother]], he was keeping his reaction to the inventor's sales pitch remarkably under control.

Ichabod spends most of film's first act as the ''only'' person in Sleepy Hollow who doesn't believe the Headless Horseman exists despite the townspeople's repeated warnings and attempts to convince him to take the matter more seriously.

The next scene switches to Ichabod cowering in bed, delirious as all hell and somehow convinced that nobody in town takes him at his word that he saw the Horseman... even though Baltus is right there, gently trying to reassure Ichabod that they all, in fact, ''do'' and were the ones who [[IWarnedYou told him so]] in the first place.
