Presumed Innocent Scott Turow writes an engrossing book based on love, obsession, and the legal system. In the beginning the protagonist character, Rusty Sabich, a District Prosecuting Attorney (P.A.) begins the story in first person speaking about what is expected of him as a P.A.

…was that Raymond found out about Rusty's affair with Carolyn and set him up. I suggest reading the novel and renting the movie. There were a few differences between the book and the movie. The main one was that in the movie Barbara Sabich confesses to the murder of Carolyn Polhemus after Rusty washes the hatchit. In the novel, Rusty figures out that his jealous, crazy wife fantasized, plotted and killed Carolyn Polhemus. Word Count: 1412
