- Nitpick: Galvin lacks a Boston accent; the defense is that failed accents would distract and Warden is fundamentally New York/New Jersey. A sudden Boston-accented Laura is imagined jokingly.
- The clients could fire Galvin for concealing a settlement; his failure to counteroffer is questioned,with 600,000 recalled as the suit's demand.
- Neither side pursuing Kaitlin sooner seems implausible,especially the defense's otherwise thorough investigators; uncertainty over which nurse was missing is retained.
- Laura keeping Concannon's check in her purse is questioned; constant accepted drinks and the ending imply her own alcohol problem.
- The check amount is corrected from 550 to 650,with installments conjectured and the total payment still unclear.
- Galvin declining a mistrial after the planted lawyer is exposed is questioned; his insistence that he can win and has nothing else explains it emotionally.
- Galvin's belief that Laura naturally wants him is another nitpick,despite Newman's attractiveness.
