Goofs:

Factual errors: The son of the CO poisoned parents said his father made too much money to qualify for financial aid at Princeton University but not enough to live comfortably, which led to his motive. This is highly unlikely as Princeton has been rated as having the best financial aid in the country with over 50% of students on aid. Even families with annual incomes over $200,000 received aid.

Quotes:

Sara Sidle: What do you have, Greg?
Greg Sanders: Well, maybe she had the munchies. Tox screen came back. Mrs. Lambert tested positive for cannibus sativa.
Sara Sidle: Grass?
Greg Sanders: "Grass?" So seventies, man! Sticky green, dank, chronic, cush, happy stick, wacky tobaccy.
Sara Sidle: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Grandma was high?
Greg Sanders: Yeah.
Sara Sidle: Grandma was high?
Greg Sanders: As a kite.
