- TriviaThe story for this episode is based on four Lakewood, WA cops who were shot in November, 2009 in a coffee shop while going over morning briefings. The suspect was shot before he could be arrested/brought to trial.
- GoofsWhen Bernard finds Stokes on the floor, he checks Stokes for a pulse on his carotid artery. Obviously finding one, he yells "He's alive" and then begins the chest compressions of CPR. If the victim has a pulse, there is no need to begin CPR.
- Quotes
Connie Rubirosa: We're putting you on first to give the bare bones of the case.
Kevin Bernard: It's not going to be much of a trial, is it? He has no defense.
Connie Rubirosa: Well, his lawyer's going for a verdict of manslaughter instead of ***, on the grounds that Stokes acted in a state of extreme emotional disturbance.
Kevin Bernard: So he could get out in ten to twenty years? Why didn't you just allow him to go the feds? He doesn't deserve to go on living, no matter how disturbed he is.
Connie Rubirosa: Detective, when I heard Stokes was arrested, you were the one who gave him CPR, who saved his life. Why, if you wanted him dead?
Kevin Bernard: I'm a cop. I'm not the executioner.
Connie Rubirosa: Neither am I.

If we dont its because she said no. She's an actor whose character left a real imprint on me. She is, BEFORE SVU surpassed their date, the longest oldest lasting character and it would be cool if she made just one appearance to solidify that! Come on Dick Wolf you owe her!!! LOL I love this show. Its so long you can watch it to the last season 20yrs worth, then forget the first season's endings. I loved Ben Stone too. But they REALLY did well getting Sam Waterston and the many lovely ladies as his assistants who were GREAT actors who happened to be beautiful. I miss this show. I don't watch the rapey one, as it got SO soapy with Olivias character and she was becoming totally unrealstic.
Also too graphic. And though I love Who songs like the best of them, CSI was also too gross and far fetched. I liked the police story.... then the court story. So on that note, this episode was edited so well EVERYONE gets good lines and are imperative to the telling of the story. Plus SO MANY GREAT actors guest star I hadn't seen Debra Winger in years. There she was a few episodes back. I hope the new one will last. And give us those lovely reunions we all pray for. PS ANYONE know who played Hightop?.in this? Its NOT in the cast listings and he looks like my old neighbour a pot head with the hair exactly!
