Cold Case (2003)

Show generally

Corrected entry: Season 5 Episode 104 "Family 8108": In the final 10 minutes, several characters make reference to a "Distinguished Combat Medal." There is no such medal awarded to U.S. military personnel, but there is a Distinguished Service Cross. Players of certain war-oriented video games can earn a Distinguished Combat Medal, but not in real life. [[According to the West Wing Continuity Monitor, there have also been references to a DCM on the show "West Wing," but the Monitor website also notes there is no such medal.]].

Correction: Fictional medals and awards are often used out of respect for real-life combat veterans who earned real awards (especially if the show is portraying the character as the killer). As long as they remain consistent and true within the world of the show, fictionalized elements aren't mistakes.

Cold Case (2003)

Correction: Character flaw. Poor recollection of an event forty years in the past. No one said it was a good alibi.
