Trivia
Mosca tells his henchman "not to forget the cannoli". This is a reference to a murder of an informant in The Godfather (1972). Earlier, Mosca mentions something he had learned from an old don named Barzini, which is also a reference to the Godfather.

Goofs
The jury is supposed to be unsequestered, anonymous and protected from being identified, yet they are shown being driven around, walking here and there, being easily tailed to their homes, etc.

Quotes
Detective James Crockett: Go ahead Mosca... make it easy.

An unusually sleepy kickoff to a new season, 'Contempt of Court' rides on its guest stars (Meg Foster, Philip Baker Hall) and a memorable villain in Stanley Tucci, perfectly at home as a slimy mafioso. If there's a positive take-away here, it's him. Certainly not the story, the hook being Sonny held in contempt for not naming his witness . . . which has already been done, way back in the first season. Outside of that, this is a dull courtroom drama that's more "Law and Order" than "Miami Vice".

Now *that* is a crime.
