Dorothy's figurative missteps with Toto chasing Miss Gulch's cat and her interruption of her Uncle and Aunt while they are trying to count chicks prematurely hatched in an incubator gone bad, culminate in a literal misstep. She's walking on the rail of a pig pen fence while Zeke, who is lecturing her on courage, is also feeding the pigs. She falls in.
If you consider the figurative meanings of pigs from Mark Fuhrman's perspective and his post O.J. association with Vincent Bugliosi and Dominick Dunne, you have two ways of bringing The Wizard of Oz pig feeding scene into Murder in Greenwich. It can be done with a group of cops (a 1960s and '70s slang term for policemen) being fed....
Or the wealthy class of people in Belle Haven that George Harrison called "Piggies" in the Beatles' November, 22 1968 White Album.
