Deliberate "mistake": Episode 9-14, "Inconceivable" (aired 1/22/08): When James is shot on the courthouse steps, the crowd of reporters that has gathered quickly scatters to escape the gunfire. One of them is a woman in a pink top, holding what appears to be a boom microphone. The camera cuts away briefly and then back to the crowd - you see the exact same people, including the woman in pink running in the exact opposite direction as before. The footage was apparently mirrored and repeated for the second shot of the fleeing crowd.

Continuity: When Benson and Stabler are interviewing Virginia at the end of the episode, when she admits to committing the crime, she breaks down into tears and her face turns red. The next shot is from over her shoulder, and her expression is normal. In the very next shot, from the front, her face is flushed and tears again.

Factual error: In the final scene where Grace Mayberry's house is raided in Trenton, NJ. a New Jersey State Trooper is wearing a badge on his chest. The NJSP has always worn a triangular shaped badge on their hats.
