Why the deliberate lie concerning John Henry Carpenter?


Doing some preliminary checking I found this film to be quite accurate with times and dates but I was wondering why the discrepancy at the end of the film. In the following summarizing of the murder it was said that Carpenter died of a heart attack 4 years later, he actually he died in 1998, some 20 years after the murder of Bob Crane.

During the summation, it is said that Carpenter was brought to trial 14 years after the murder. 4 years after that, he died of a heart attack.
