With its antepenultimate episode, Apple TV+’s Presumed Innocent series this Wednesday took another sharp turn from both the 1987 Scott Turow novel and the 1990 Harrison Ford movie, when accused murder Rusty Sabich’s defense attorney suffered a heart attack not far into the trial.
Rusty’s onetime boss, ousted DA Raymond Horgan, was doing his best to delicately cross-examine the late Carolyn Polhemus’ young son, Michael, when mid-sentence he tensed up, froze, and then slumped to the courtroom floor.
What happens now? Will Raymond’s second chair, untested Mya, take over the case? Will a mistrial be declared, in the wake of Rusty heroically rushing to Raymond’s side to administer CPR? Or could Rusty perhaps represent himself ?
Speaking with TVLine, series lead Jake Gyllenhaal aacknowledged there was little he could divulge about how — or if — the case against Rusty will resume.
“Rusty finds himself in a very different if not impossible position” after Raymond’s cardiac event, Gyllenhaal shared. “And how it resolves itself…. That’s really what [Episodes] 6 and 7 is about, how he is, for lack of a better word, completely tried, and exhausted, and has only basically two options” for moving forward.
