Conviction

Goof: Peluso doesn't want Wade shot in front of his fiancee and son. However, he accidentally says "in front of his wife and fiancee."

Whether or not it is true in real life I don't know, but it is a mistake in this show. In the Law & Order world, Jessica would not be trying a rape case because all rape cases (with few exceptions) are tried by the SVU prosecutor, Casey Novak.

As a former Special Victims Unit prosecutor, it is out of character for Cabot to let someone walk on a rape charge & to be completely unsympathetic about the victim's later suicide.

The closing song is How To Save A Life by The Fray.

The back doors on police cars can't be opened from the inside. Nick shouldn't have been able to get out.

This show has a theme song as opposed to the other Dick Wolf franchise "Law & Order" shows that have instrumental themes. The theme song is titled "Destiny" by the group Syntax.

Star J. August Richards was previously one of the stars of the WB's "Angel." During the fifth season premiere, titled "Conviction," he was given a mystical brain upgrade by demonic law firm Wolfram & Hart--he had complete legal knowledge (of both human and demon dimensions, along with a lot of Gilbert and Sullivan and several demon languages), uploaded into his brain. In "Conviction," he plays a lawyer, as well--in this case, one who went to law school instead of making a demonic deal. His mother had apparently always wanted him to play a lawyer; her wish came true in the fifth season of "Angel" and now in this series. Significantly, he was/is the only black regular cast member in both shows.
