Diary of a Perfect Murder - S1-E1
Character mistake: Prosecutor "Death Row" Hawkins finishes speaking with prospective jury member Mr. Cooper and tags in The Defense attorney, saying, "Mr. Matlock, your witness." Naturally, Cooper is not a witness of anything; they are selecting the jury.
Continuity mistake: Matlock is inside a jail cell, speaking to a man who has been accused of murder. In an outdoor scene, someone throws a raw egg at the window as Matlock looks out. Inside the cell, as Matlock turns away from the window, the splattered egg has vanished.
Trivia: Andy Griffith was the only actor to appear in all 195 episodes of the series.
The Victim - S4-E17
Question: During the trial, Matlock says that he paid a man to follow Bret which is how they were able to find the rope that Bret used. Would what Ben did to prove that Bret was the killer actually be allowed?

Answer: I did not see this episode, but YES. Both prosecution and defense lawyers use investigators to search for and uncover evidence that is legally admissible.
