Background information and notes[]
They got him!
Annabella Sciorra and Tony Bill...?!
- This episode is the last film project for actor Jerry Orbach (Detective Lennie Briscoe). Orbach was so ill during the time of the recording of this episode that he could barely speak above a whisper. As a result, his final line of dialogue had to be rewritten; at the trial of a cop killer, NYPD members had been barred from the courtroom, and they were waiting outside with Briscoe. After Lennie (peering in through the door) learned of the guilty verdict, he turned and whispered to the cops, "They got him!"
- Performers Tony Bill and Annabella Sciorra make an accidental appearance in this episode. After Judge Amanda Anderlee enters the courtroom, at the point right before everyone is seated, you can see a scene from the first episode. You can clearly make out Bill and Sciorra standing behind the table for the defense.
- After playing Assistant District Attorney, and later Defense Attorney, Jamie Ross on Law & Order, actress Carey Lowell appears as a Judge in this episode.
- Actor David Lipman makes a crossover appearance as Judge Morris Torledsky in this episode. He played the same character on the original Law & Order.
- The title refers to the 41 times that a 23-year-old Guinean man, Amadou Diallo, was hit by police fire.
- When talking to Detective Burke, a mention of the phrase "band of brothers" is mentioned which he and Briscoe wonder where that is from. Salazar mentions that it is from the play Henry V. Actor Kirk Acevedo had previously starred in the HBO miniseries Band of Brothers.
