Law Abiding Citizen

Answer: Only for movie purposes. It's really just a movie mistake, where this wouldn't be possible in real life.

Question: What was the actor's name who played Gerard's cellmate?

Answer: Vaughn Goland most likely. There are a few different actors' names randomly that come up as "inmate", but Goland's name is credited as "tattooed inmate" and some pics of him look pretty close if you google him. So best bet is Vaughn Goland.

Question: What happened to Clyde's daughter after Darby took her? (02:42:00 - 02:44:00)

Answer: He killed her.

Answer: Nick also points out that the crime scenes are always contaminated. The evidence was probably contaminated by the cops.

Answer: The reason the DNA was inadmissible was not elaborated on. We're only told it was inadmissible because of the "exclusionary rule." Therefore, the judge in the case must have deemed the way the DNA was collected from the suspects was in violation of their constitutional rights. The why was not explained and anything would be a guess (something like when they were arrested and there was no probable cause to take a DNA sample). But it's seems more of plot convenience to move the story forward quickly. Clyde passing out had nothing to do with the DNA being inadmissible, it only meant his eyewitness testimony may be considered unreliable. Therefore the DA's Office was not willing to try both men using Clyde as a witness, but go with the plea deal.

Answer: Because Clyde passed out.

Continuity mistake: When Darby is running from the police and heading for the police car you can see the exhaust emitting from the police cruiser tail pipe. When he gets in the car he says start the car and you can see Clyde turn the ignition/keys and the engine starts of an already idling vehicle. (00:20:35)
