One thing I noticed from the episode we watched on Tuesday was how the one lawyer was presented as disreputable. The viewers were given the impression that he was taking bribes from outside sources in order to throw the case away. I would like to think that this is not an accurate portrayal of lawyers.
Another thing that I noticed was the seemingly hostile relationship between the FBI and the NYPD police officers. There were several harsh words exchanged and obvious distrust between the two departments. The argument between the two over who had jurisdiction over the case is another example of their relationship.
One final thing in the episode that seemed odd to me was the amount of red tape involved in the proceedings of the investigation. This is kind of enhanced by the hostile relationship with the FBI, but the to-do list of things that were required before the inmates could be interviewed seemed very long and very involved. It would not surprise me if this high level of bureaucracy is actually present in real life.
