- TriviaSusan Misner, who plays a prostitute/pimp in this early episode, would later return in the role of a nun.
- GoofsAt his arraignment Roger Jameson is charged with murder in the first degree and conspiracy in the first degree, but the conspiracy charge is incorrect for the circumstance of the crime, this mistake is actually made quite frequently in the Law & Order franchise. Conspiracy in the first degree is when an adult over the age of 18 compels or induces a minor under the age of 16 to commit a class A felony. Since the people he hired were all adults the proper charge would be conspiracy in the second degree. While this might seem to be an insignificant distinction, the sentences for the two different degrees are not: conspiracy in the first degree is a class A-I felony and carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison with the possibility of parole after 15 years; conspiracy in the second degree is a class B felony and carries a minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum of 25 years.

Featured review
Nasty Family Business
This was a so-so episode, one in which the main characters were all unappealing and we knew who the killer was right away, except for the question of who hired, or inspired, the killer.
In a nutshell, the girlfriend a junkie son of a well-to-do high society mother is killed and Goren and Eames try to find out to murdered this woman, who was also a junkie but trying to go clean....and she was pregnant. Suspects, of course, are headed by the boyfriend who would financially benefit from getting rid of the girlfriend, getting clean and getting back into the good graces of his wealthy mother. That mother and her husband, however, are the ones that look guilty. Are they?
Everyone knows Law and Order's Liberal bias, but it's usually not as pronounced in this spin off of the regular L&O show. However, there is cheap shot here against "George W." and it's repeated in case you didn't get it the first time. It wasn't necessary, but they just can't resist.
Still, it's always interesting to see how the good guys go about proving their case. You'll feel good when you see the murderer being led away in handcuffs.
