Corrected entry: When Lady Van Tassel has been revealed as the one controlling the Horseman, she explains to Katrina that she killed the servant girl to fake her own death and then later goes on to explain that now she had to Kill Katrina because only then would she get her revenge and inherit everything from the Van Tassel family fortune. But, if Lady Van Tassel is already presumed dead, how can she inherit anything, without it exposing her as the culprit?

Corrected entry: The Stepmother shoots Ichabod, and a couple of scenes later we find out (surprise, surprise) that he is still alive. However, he shows no signs of pain and is able to struggle and fight with the stepmother perfectly well. There is never again any indication that he has ever been shot.
Correction: The bullet lodged in the book that Katrina gave him, so, while the force of the impact knocked him to the ground, he was never actually wounded. So, basically, there's never any indication that he was shot because, he wasn't.

Corrected entry: More than once the Headless Horseman ignores Ichabod Crane because he wasn't after him, however he kills the midwife's son just because he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. It doesn't make sense.
Correction: As we don't see the specific instruction, we don't know precisely what orders the Horseman had. However, as both Elizabeth Killian (the midwife) and her husband need to be eliminated, it's likely that the Horseman was simply told to take out the Killians, rather than referring to them by individual name - this instruction would include the child.
Correction: They 'wife-witch sister' states she was sicking the horseman on people who discovered the secret - when she found out the midwife and husband knew she sent him, maybe the boy was taken to make he hadn't overheard as well.

Correction: She presumably expects that she could talk her way out of it. For example, she could claim that the servant girl was dishonest, stole one of her dresses and was then killed by the Horseman who mistook her for Lady Van Tassel because she was wearing the dress. She could claim that she took refuge elsewhere out of fear for her life, only returning once the killings stopped. With nobody to dispute her claims, she would likely get away with it and be able to claim the fortune.
