Michael Learned and John Ottavino in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (1999)

Goofs

Privilege

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Edit

Incorrectly regarded as goofs

When Munch is reviewing the security tape from the Lamerly's penthouse, he notices a jump in time on the clock. The long hand moves from the number 8 to the number 10 and Benson replies: 'ten seconds are missing'. However, this is incorrect, because the second hand of a clock, or the long hand, denotes minutes not seconds. In correction, the clock time is missing 10 seconds. The hour hand doesn't twitch in the slightest (when it would have moved a bit). The big hand mentioned also ticks three times, showing that it is the 'seconds' hand.

Plot holes

The judge had absolutely no grounds to sustain the defense's objection that Drew's interview with Dr. Huang was inadmissible due to doctor-patient privilege. First, Huang was not interviewing Drew in a doctor-patient setting but as an agent of the FBI questioning a rape/murder suspect. Drew was well aware of this fact and that his interview was being recorded. Second even if he was interviewing Drew in a doctor-patient setting the presence of the polygraph technician, as well as Captain Cragen and Detectives Stabler and Benson observing, would remove any expectation of privacy on Drew's part. The presence of a third party nullifies any privilege that might normally apply to a doctor-patient/attorney-client/priest-penitent/husband-wife conversation.
At one point it is stated that Drew didn't graduate from High School, yet he attended a college in Paris, France for three years. In order to have enrolled in the French College, he would still would have been required to have a High School Diploma or GED.

Character error

Drew (Erik von Detten ) called Candace (Michael Learned ) his mother once, when she is actually his grandmother.
