- "Oliver Queen is a hero. He is. He's saved this city more times than anybody can count. But he's done it all from behind a mask. So that he could take the law into his own hands. In fact, he's taken as many lives as he's saved. So, yes, Oliver Queen is a hero. That doesn't mean he's not also a criminal."

Trivia[]
- This is the highest rated episode of Season 6 with a rating of 8.7 on IMDb.

- In the episode, the title itself refers to Oliver's criminal trial, officially titled The People v. Oliver Jonas Queen.
- Curtis comments on the size of Oliver's trial as compared to O. J. Simpson's, having seen American Crime Story's first season, The People v. O. J. Simpson.
- Curtis also mentions how he's seen every episode of the TV series Law & Order.
- Interestingly, Marc Guggenheim previously worked on Law & Order, where he served as an executive story editor, co-producer, and producer, in addition to writing eight episodes.
- Additionally, Rick Gonzalez, Kirk Acevedo, and Catherine Dent each played different roles in the Law & Order franchise.
- Curtis also mentions how he's seen every episode of the TV series Law & Order.
- Christopher Chance quips that he'd always wanted to say "I am Spartacus", referencing the 1960 film Spartacus. In the film, the title character gives himself up in order to protect his friends. However, he is followed by the rest of the slaves all proclaiming they are Spartacus as a show of loyalty.

Goofs[]
- When Diggle is called to the stand, Dinah and Rene, who were both subpoenaed, are sitting in the courtroom. In real life, witnesses are not allowed in the courtroom until they have testified and been dismissed.
- This episode states that Laurel Lance died on April 6th, 2016. However, in Beacon of Hope Thea said that the mayoral elections were on April 6th, and in Eleven-Fifty-Nine Ruvé Adams accepts her win as mayor, meaning it is April 6th or 7th. We then see Laurel die two days later, meaning Laurel's death date should be April 8th or 9th.
- Perhaps Flashpoint changed the dates, meaning in the Pre-Flashpoint Timeline Laurel died on April 8/9th 11:59 PM, but in the Post-Flashpoint Timeline Laurel died April 6th 11:59 PM.
