The photographer says he likes shooting girls in front of the USS Intrepid because "long legs look good in front of big gun barrels." Yet the Intrepid is an Essex-class aircraft carrier, carriers aren't armed with large guns. The only guns they have are deck mounted machine gun turrets for anti-air defense purposes, which can't be seen from ground level even if they were still installed. After she was decommissioned and turned into a museum ship all her armament was removed.
Deirdre Powell (Johnny Stivers' lawyer) tells McCoy and Kincaide that her client will agree to plea guilty to manslaughter in the first degree if McCoy agrees to a sentencing recommendation of one year in prison and one-year probation. Yet as a lawyer she should be well aware that manslaughter in the first degree is a class B felony, the mandatory minimum sentence is five years in prison. This amount is non-negotiable, the law states that someone convicted of a violent, class B felony must serve at least five years in prison and no more than 25 years. Her client couldn't even get that sentence with a plea to manslaughter in the second degree, which is a class C felony with a mandatory minimum sentence of 3 1/2 years in prison and a maximum of 15 years. The only homicide-related crime that allows a one-year prison sentence is a criminally negligent homicide (second-degree murder would never be pled down to negligent homicide), which is a class E felony and has a minimum mandatory sentence of five years probation and can also carry a prison sentence of one to four years.
