Corrected entry: Denise is on death row for the killing of 2 children. The problem is that there is no death row in Massachusetts. Massachusetts no longer has the death penalty. They have not executed anyone since 1976. There are no people currently on death row. Information comes from the Death Penalty Information Center.
The Practice (1997)
1 corrected entry
Starring: Dylan McDermott, Steve Harris, Camryn Manheim, Michael Badalucco
Character mistake: While testifying during his murder trial, George Vogelman says that he's gone on dates but has never been in a relationship. However, when he sued Ellenor during season 2's "Sex, Lies and Monkeys," he says they discussed his first marriage and his kids, which contradicts his later testimony. While it's certainly possible he could have been lying about having a family, that would mean he was lying to Ellenor about it, but as his lawyer, she takes him at his word as if he didn't have a history of lying.
Bobby Donnell: It's better that ten guilty men go free, than one innocent man suffer.
Trivia: Camryn Manheim uses sign language with her client, played by Marlee Matlin. Before becoming an actress, Camryn Manheim actually worked as a sign language interpreter and job trainer/placement specialist for the deaf. She also used her sign language skills in an episode of "Law and Order" called "Benevolence," where she portrayed a defense attorney for a deaf man accused of murdering his girlfriend.
Correction: You are working on the false assumption that the episode is about Massachusetts, it isn't! The episode is about New Hampshire.
