Apple TV+'s Presumed Innocent's ending explained.
Summary Presumed Innocent season 1's gripping finale not only walks through the final verdict of Carolyn Polhemus' murder trial but also reveals the truth about who killed her. Before delivering its final reveal, Presumed Innocent's finale highlights how the defendants wish to rest the case because they do not have any other evidence or witnesses to present in court. However, Rusty still surprises Raymond and Winslow by saying he wishes to give the closing argument himself.
He reveals that his doubts were further confirmed when he tracked her car's GPS and found she had driven to Carolyn's home on the night of her death. After disclosing how he revisited the crime scene moments after Carolyn's death and helped cover up the crime, Rusty also accuses Barbara of leaving the murder weapon, a fireplace poker, at Molto's place. This is when Rusty's daughter, Jaden, steps inside the room and confesses she killed Carolyn Polhemus.
It seems likely that she looked up the term after she killed Carolyn because she, too, was shocked by her own actions. The fact that Jaden was the killer also explains why she constantly asked Rusty for updates surrounding the trial. Another interesting detail in Presumed Innocent is that Rusty's son Kyle was also spotted near Carolyn's house before her murder. This suggests that he might have told Jaden that Rusty was at Carolyn's place, prompting her to visit her home.
Therefore, to protect Barbara, he tied up Carolyn just like Bunny Davis was found after her murder, hoping to make the scene look like it was connected to a case he and Carolyn had worked on. He believed he would convince Reynolds to give a false confession to the crime in return for a reduced sentence. This aspect of his plan did not work out as expected but diverted suspicion away from his family.
What Presumed Innocent's Ending Means For The Sabich Family Rusty Realized How It Was All His Fault Close Jaden's confession helps Rusty realize that he triggered the chain reaction of events that led to Carolyn's murder. Therefore, instead of confronting his daughter, he comforts her and asks her to keep the truth about the murder a secret.
