Plot holes
Hank removes a bullet from the chair after the burial of Sonny. Since Sonny died from a gun shot wound, one would think that the bullet would have been taken by the murder investigators for forensic examination, and not left behind in the chair.

Revealing mistakes
When they are preparing Lawrence Musgrove (Sean Combs) to be executed they shave his head with an electric razor and then he walks into the death chamber and he is completely bald - that is only possible if you use a regular razor blade.
