- Factual errors: When Benson returns to the murder scene during the trial, the bloodstains on the walls are still bright red. In the real world these would have oxidized and turned brown long before then.

Detective Olivia Benson: Denise didn't care about Carrie. All she cared about was where she was gonna get her next drink.

A.D.A. Casey Novak: You didn't kill your mother, Olivia.
Detective Olivia Benson: I know what it's like to want to. That's how I know Simone Brice. I called her back then. She was a law student, and she helped me survive it.
A.D.A. Casey Novak: Why didn't Carrie say something?
Detective Olivia Benson: Because then the abuse becomes real. If you keep quiet, you can pretend that it's not.
