Factual error: Right after Walter has the nightmare about killing his wife, he wakes up and turns around to see the alarm clock show 11:12. The clock makes a flipping sound when it switches to the next minute, just like those alarm clocks from the 1980s that have those little numbered plastic cards inside. However, it's a digital alarm clock and they do not make such sounds.
Continuity mistake: When Walter is imagining himself killing his wife, the bed sheets change from silver to red momentarily after he wakes up.
Factual error: Walter states that Ted Bundy died on January 23. He died on the 24th of January, 1989.
Factual error: Walter reads from his book he wrote in 1991. He mentions the Oklahoma city bombing. That didn't happen until 1995.
Answer: As I recall, at the end, Walter had turned himself in and was awaiting sentencing. He was told the judge may go "easy" on him, likely because of his mental instability, but exactly what easy means, is subject to interpretation.
