Some of the plot and character points fictionalized or ignored include: Carter was actually convicted of three muggings and served four years in prison prior to his murder trial Carter and Lisa Peters eventually married and later divorced In reality, there was no Det. Della Pesca Carter did not give a speech in the courtroom when his conviction was overturned and Lesra was not in attendance Carter was actually released from prison for 4 years between his two trial convictions Carter was dishonorably discharged from the military after four court-martials (after just 21 months service) There actually was no evidence found that proved Carters innocence. The reason his conviction was overturned was because the prosecution mishandled much of the evidence it had that Carter did commit the murders.
