* AintTooProudToBeg: One of Jennifer's rapists tries to plead with her to show mercy, and offering her money if she spares him. She doesn't.
* CopKiller: Mick and his accomplices kill Horace, who happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, and try to kill Harry. Mick later kills Chief Jennings, which was completely unnecessary.

* DramaticIrony: [[spoiler: One of the rapists, Alby Jennings, had a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, and tried to kill himself. As a result, he is left with brain damage and not capable of much more than staring at a wall all day, just like Jennifer's sister.]]

Added DiffLines:
* Foreshadowing: Lester seems very unwilling to go near the murder cases at all, and gets very annoyed when Harry continues to investigate it. Initially, it appears to be due to the cop being another difficult police superior. However, the revelation that his son is one of the rapists reveals that the reason he didn't want it investigated is because he knew exactly who these people were.
Added DiffLines:
** Later, Mick decides to shoot Lester when he tries to shoot them with his back turned. The first shot has Lester drop his weapon. What does Mick do? Shoot Lester point blank in the head.
Added DiffLines:
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: In addition to Mick's gleeful enjoyment of rape, he shows himself to be both a racist (as shown by his use of a racial slur to Horace when he enters Harry's apartment), and an ableist by using slurs against Albert Jennings.
