Law Abiding Citizen

Character mistake: In the court scene Clyde mentions a case, Day v McDonough docket number 04-1325. This is a real case, but the docket number is 04-1324.

Character mistake: Clyde enters his cell in the final scene, and is surprised to find that he has been found out. His secret tunnel, if we go according to the characteristics accredited to his character throughout the movie, is surprisingly without any alarms of any sort. Very strange if we are to believe he is as deadly as credited. He ends dying a very silly death.

Questions

Question: In court, Darby asks Nick if he's married. What's the meaning of this question, and why did he ask it? Seems a bit strange to just randomly ask someone that.

Answer: Because Nick knows this man is guilty. He says it to almost imply, "well since I'm getting off, may as well make a visit to your family next. You married, Nick?"

Answer: The answer that someone else gave to this question is misleading; indicates that Clyde asked Nick if he was married. It was actually Darby who asks Nick this question. And there really is no answer except that Darby is a menace and a scoundrel. He only asked this to aggravate or pull some kind of thread at Nick. Nick knows this, which is why he replies to him the way he does.

Answer: Probably because he was married with a child, and he wanted to know if he was also married, so he could possibly relate to his situation.
