Crimes and Witch-Demeanors

Crimes And Witch-Demeanors is the 19th episode of the sixth season and the 130th overall episode of Charmed.

Summary
When Phoebe and Paige are caught on tape using their powers by Inspector Sheridan, The Cleaners cover up the situation by implacting Darryl Morris as a murderer, and in a huge time jump, end up sending him to death row to cover up the exposure of magic. Phoebe and Paige must convince the Tribunal, a group of Elders and Upper-level Demons who prevent exposure, to let them save Darryl, but Barbas makes it very complicated, because there's an opportunity for him to get back from the Wasteland.

Notes and Trivia
thumb|300px|right|Crimes and Witch-Demeanors WB Trailer
 * 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 as a mummy 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


 * Billy Drago reprises his role as Barbas, The Demon of Fear. This is also the first time Barbas is shown Flaming like many other upper-level demons.
 * Similar to "Cat House", archieved material of Julian McMahon as Cole is shown. This marks the second time he was shown since his vanquish in the 100th episode.
 * There were no clips featuring Prue Halliwell as talks between Producers and Shannen Doherty failed when she didn't allow for her image to be used.
 * 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.
 * Oddly, when the clip of Andy's death from "Déjà Vu All Over Again" is shown, his face is never seen. Additionally, he is only referred to as Prue's first love – never by name. However, his face is later used in Phoebe's premonition in "Charmageddon".
 * When Chris accidentally drops Phinks into the lava pit in Hell, Drew Fuller said "shit" during taping, but dubbed over the word "shoot" for the completed, aired episode.
 * Phoebe is disempowered in this episode so that she only has basic wiccan powers. The powers of Premonition, Levitation and Empathy were removed by the Tribunal and Phoebe's premonition power only returned in season 7. Brad Kern stated in an interview that this was because Phoebe was expected to work to get her active powers back, therefore he didn't want to give back all three of her powers in the space of the two remaining seasons. He also stated that he wanted it to be shown that Phoebe's love was her true power in the final season. Phoebe does however regain all her powers in the Charmed Comics.
 * Phoebe's power of Levitation was written out of the series due to the cost of the special effects and machinery that was needed. Her other powers, Premonition and Empathy, were written out purely story wise. It wouldn't make sense if the Tribunal only took her levitation power away.
 * The title of this episode is a reference to the film Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989)
 * This is the thirteenth episode to have the word 'witch' in the title.
 * When Paige orbs the coffee cart, rather than calling to it, she simply commands it to "orb away!"
 * Piper doesn't use her powers in this episode.
 * This is the first appearance of Inspector Sheridan, who would become the sisters' main nemesis during the remainder of this season as well as the following season.
 * This episode is the beginning of Darryl's refusal to aid the sisters any longer.
 * This episode featured clips from past episodes in order to show the sisters' past mistakes.
 * This episode features the Magic Tribunal, that consists of two demons and two elders, who created the Cleaners to prevent any magical exposure.
 * The WB used the promo title "Charmed on Trial" for this episode.
 * Phoebe, up to this episode, levitated a whole 32 times in the series (one time in Season 2, episode 2, seven times in Season 3 in episodes 1, 3, 7, and 11, sixteen times in Season 4 in episodes 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 13, 16, and 19, five times in Season 5 in episodes 6, 11, 20 and three times in Season 6 in episodes 3, 5, 11).
 * In this episode Barbas accused Phoebe for Cole's fall to insanity after her constant rejection of him. In the episode of Y Tu Mummy Tambien Cole in his insane time did a similar accusation.
 * This is the first episode where the sisters start to reject the Elders and decide that magic owes them. This will happen more in the next seasons.
 * The Tribunal refer Phoebe's Premonition power as active. During the start of the season, Premonition was only considered a passive power though by this episode Phoebe's control over her power has advanced to the point where it's considered active.

Glitches

 * 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.
