    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This episode appears to be based on several separate cases/incidents:
      • The 1991-1992 Olivia Riner case, which is actually referenced by Schiff. Riner, a Swiss au pair, was accused by the parents of 3-month Kristie Fischer of causing the death of the infant, who died in a house fire in Thornwood, New York on December 1, 1991. Riner was found not guilty at trial because the prosecution had not provided a motive for why Riner would have started the fire.
      • The Linda Lin case and the related Beech-Nut baby food product contamination panic.
      • The epidemic of baby food contamination by pesticides.
    • Goofs
      ADA Kincaid states that Lila Crenshaw's lawyer is being paid by the British consulate. In reality, while British diplomatic facilities can provide general legal advice and advise on local lawyers, they cannot pay legal fees.
