Joseph Fontana (about the victim's wife): She couldn't have been more distraught if her neighbor's goldfish had gone belly up.
The end of the episode featured a pictoral memorial to Jerry Orbach. Orbach, who played Lennie Briscoe, passed away in December of 2004.
This episode appears to be ripped from the headlines of the Ted Eammon murder by his wife Gennarosa Rand and her contracter Daniel Pelosi. This episode was created some time after Rand's death and Pelosi's conviction; a 2002 Law & Order episode ("Hitman") explored similar elements and character connections, but with a different perpetrator, and thereby changed motives and conclusion.
Mentioned in the Bible, the title of this episode Mammon, is the classical personification of wealth, usually gotten by dishonest means.
