Joe De Santis was both a murderer and a victim. Submitted by daveb, date unknown.

+When George Castle shoots Glenn Falkner with an automatic pistol at the beginning of the show, the slide on the pistol does move. With a real automatic pistol the slide has to move to the rear to re-load the pistol and re-cock the hammer. Submitted by PaulDrake33.

+Michael Garvin Jr. has four automobile salesmen working for him. Murphy, Tribe, Gillson, and Finley. Finley has sold the most cars this month, 5, as evidenced by the chalkboard behind Michael's office desk. Even though Michael does his best to sell Perry the Thunderbird, he is not listed on the board as a salesman. Submitted by PaulDrake33.
