Factual errors: Dr. Warner states that a murder victim is 14 years, 2 months old, a figure she arrived at by carbon dating the crystalline proteins in the victims eyes. But carbon dating, even when very well calibrated, can only pinpoint dates within 113 years if the sample is younger than 10,000 years old.

Quotes:

Detective Elliot Stabler: There's rice all over the floor. Did he make you eat down here too?
Katrina Lychkoff: No, he had us kneel on it. It's not so bad at first, but then it starts to cut into your skin.
