When Walcott is arrested at the book-drop drug deal, he first runs toward the theater, where's he's cut off by Paul and Lt. Anderson. He then runs the other way until he is stopped by Perry and Burger. But suddenly Lt. Anderson, who did not run past Walcott, Perry or Burger, is standing behind Burger and to his right.
While it is heavily raining during the night, someone attempts to break into the Gordon house and then walks through the flower garden, leaving footprints in the dirt. The next morning when the police investigate, the footprints are deep with sharp and well-defined edges. The intensity and volume of rain would have washed out the footprints altogether or left small indentations at best.
After Mr. Gordon has his episode that the doctor calls a stroke, he orders an increase in the dose of Heparin that was apparently already being given to Mr. Gordon. Heparin is anticoagulant, which slows the blood's ability to clot. Not a bad idea if he had angina/coronary artery disease. But it would never be given to anyone suspected of having a stroke. A stroke is bleeding within the brain. Heparin would kill a stoke patient.
87% of strokes are ischemic, caused by blood clots. Hemorrhagic strokes, as mentioned above, are comparatively rare. Presumably, the previous strokes were ischemic.

In the opening sequence, when Abner falls to the floor, he is clutching his chest as if suffering from a heart attack. The doctor later says he suffered a stroke, which would not cause chest pain. He would be more like to grab his head.
A murder is committed by contaminating medicine with a toxic chemical. The chemical has the effect of discoloring the medicine, and there is never any explanation for why the nurse administering the medicine fails to notice this.
The medical examiner states on the stand, that the medicine was changing color. Therefore, at the time the shot was given it may well have still been clear.
