Trivia
This episode appears to be based on the 1997 Samuel Sheinbein case. Sheinbein had fled to Israel to avoid prosecution for the murder of Alfredo Tello. In his case, the Israeli Supreme Court refused to extradite him.

Goofs
The title card indicates that McCoy and Carmichael are at the Israeli consulate on November 10th. When they leave and go outside the trees are green, the sun is shining and neither of the are wearing more than their suit jackets. In fact, the entire case and trial occurs throughout the winter months but the weather and foliage are that of summer, with many scenes taking place outside.

Quotes
Lt. Anita Van Buren: We can hold them both for now, but Sal's right about one thing: we've got no motive.
Detective Lennie Briscoe: You believe him?
Lt. Anita Van Buren: Well, I didn't say that. But what do we have? The testimony of a mentally questionable co-conspirator; that's it.
Detective Ed Green: Well, if Eddie's telling the truth, Sal either had reasons of his own to get rid of Caplan - what they are, we don't know - or he was doing it for somebody else; who that is, we don't know.
Detective Lennie Briscoe: Yeah, what he said.
