The courtroom art in this episode was drawn by the same artist who worked on The Thin Blue Line. This was a complete accident. The artist only brought it up when he was already working on his sketches.
This episode was shot with the exact same lenses used on "The Thin Blue Line," which serves as the episode's basis.
The voice at the end interviewing Robbie Wheadlan (Bill Hader) on the tape recorder is John Mulaney's.
A graphic appears at the beginning showing the title of the episode. There is a thin blue line running through the title lettering, which gives a clue to the name of the documentary that served as inspiration for the episode.
