Continuity mistake: When Sister Helen is being pulled over for speeding, in the view through the rear view mirror, the cop car behind her is driving on the left side of the road, with the police officer driving in the right front seat, on a straight road with a solid center line. In the next shot, both cars are on the right side of the road, with the police officer sitting in the left front seat, on a curvy road with a dashed center line.

Clyde Percy: How can you stand next to him?
Sister Helen Prejean: Mr. Percy, I'm just trying to follow the example of Jesus, who said that a person is not as bad as his worst deed.
Clyde Percy: This is not a person. This is an animal.
Trivia: When Sister Prejean is back at the convent after Matthew's appeal is denied and his death sentence has been determined to go forward, she is playing games with some kids. A playing card is tossed her way, which she grabs and exclaims "Look! I got an ace!" In fact, the card she's holding is the ace of spades, commonly referred to as "the death card" - a not so subtle pun.
