Presumed Innocent's show & film changes explained.
Summary Two major changes in Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent give the show a significant advantage over the 1990 movie. Based on Scott Turow's legal thriller novel of the same name, the Presumed Innocent movie and show adopt very similar narratives. Both focus on prosecutor Rusty Sabich, who gets accused of murdering his former coworker, Carolyn Polhemus. The movie and the show also walk through the emotional turmoil Rusty's family has to endure because of his past actions.
Raymond Does Not Defend Rusty In The Presumed Innocent Movie Raymond Is An Entirely Different Character In The Apple TV+ Show Close In the 1990 movie, Rusty Sabich does not ask Raymond to defend him. Instead, he approaches a top attorney named Sandy Stern, who helps him prove his innocence in court. The movie's version of Raymond also commits perjury by falsely testifying that Rusty insisted on handling Carolyn's case. Raymond also had a brief affair with Carolyn Polhemus in the movie.
Instead of showing that Bill Camp's Raymond also had an affair with Carolyn, the show portrays him as a loyal family man who only takes up Rusty's case because he loves his job and fears getting older. Despite defending Rusty, he keeps confronting him for putting his family through so much trouble. Both Bill Camp and Jake Gyllenhaal also do an incredible job of channeling their characters' on-screen companionship.
The show, in contrast, confirms that Carolyn was pregnant at the time of her murder. A DNA test later proves that she was pregnant with Rusty's child, which solidifies Rusty as the prime suspect. Changing this detail from the original movie is clever on the show's part because it forces viewers to question whether Rusty might actually be the killer.
