Continuity mistake: During jury selection, the defense attorney asks Cedric Yarbrough if he has any history of domestic violence. He formulates the question, leaning against the railing with his arms spread. Mr. King fires back with a question of his own, and you can see the attorney leaning with his left arm inward.
Continuity mistake: During the introduction of the trial, the first time we see the defendant as Judge Thelma Stewart reads his name, there is a pen in front of him, horizontal, off the notepad. Wider angles show the pen on top of the notepad.
Continuity mistake: In the kitchen scene at the beginning of the movie, the protagonist's pregnant wife jokes about him saying something "wildly inappropriate" to the judge to be exempted. In close-up, she has no hair running down the front of her left shoulder, as opposed to the rest of the scene.
