Notes and Trivia[]

  • This is the thirteenth episode to have the word 'witch' in the title.
  • The WB used the promo title "Charmed on Trial" for this episode.
  • The actual episode does not match the flashback clips used in The WB's trailer for this episode. In the trailer, clips are shown from the following episodes:
1. "Phoebe" giving Cole a lap dance in The Importance of Being Phoebe
2. Phoebe possessed by Isis in Y Tu Mummy Tambien
3. Paige getting massaged by Jeric in Y Tu Mummy Tambien
4. Piper bar dancing in Coyote Piper
5. Phoebe as a Goddess in Oh My Goddess! Part 2
  • Holly Marie Combs is significantly and noticeably featured less in this episode, as with the remainder of Season 6, due to her real life pregnancy.
  • Billy Drago reprises his role as Barbas. This is also the first time Barbas is shown Flaming like many other upper-level demons.
  • As in "Cat House", archived material of Julian McMahon as Cole is shown. This marks the second time he was shown since his vanquish in "Centennial Charmed".
  • There were no clips featuring Prue as talks between producers and Shannen Doherty failed when she didn't allow for her image to be used.
  • Andy's death in "Déjà Vu All Over Again" is shown, though his face is never seen. Additionally, he is only referred to as Prue's first love – never by name.
  • When Chris accidentally drops Phinks into purgatory, Drew Fuller said "shit" during taping, but dubbed over the word "shoot" for the completed, aired episode.
  • Phoebe is disempowered in this episode. Part of this is because her levitation power was too expensive in terms of special effects.
  • This is the first appearance of Inspector Sheridan.
  • In this episode, Barbas accused Phoebe for Cole's fall to insanity after her constant rejection of him. Cole did the same in "Y Tu Mummy Tambien".
  • Piper does not use either of her powers, Phoebe does not use her Levitation power and Paige does not use her Telekinetic Orbing power.

Cultural References[]

  • The title of this episode is a reference to the film Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989).

Continuity Errors[]

  • When the Cleaners freeze the scene, and Paige and Phoebe turn around, it is clear they are in front of a green screen because parts of Phoebe's arm disappear and reappear for a second.
