Goofs

Factual errors: Addendum to first entry: Criminal charges and indictments are specific to time and place. The only way a someone with a false murder conviction would get a "free shot" at the "victim" would be to bring him or her to the original spot - then time-travel to the time of the alledged killing in the charge.
