Factual error: In the scene at the beginning of the movie as the 3 youths walk up the street, you can see current MA license plates, although the action should have taken place many years earlier. (00:01:30 - 00:05:50)

Question: If anyone has read the book, does Jimmy get away with murdering Dave?
Answer: At the end of the book, Jimmy is still free, but Sean makes it clear that he will be watching Jimmy very closely.
Actually at the end of the book while in the parade Sean thinks that even if it takes him the rest of his life he will bring jimmy down since he made that promise to celeste. Even though, sean knows that this will impossible because Jimmy thinks about every detail, meaning he probably didn't leave any evidence.
