Presunto innocente

Synopsis of Presunto innocente

Rusty Sabich, chief deputy prosecutor of Kindle County, is assigned to investigate the rape and murder of his colleague, Carolyn Polhemus, an energetic, charming, and sensual woman who is also ambitious and unscrupulous. Her death is a source of great embarrassment for District Attorney Raymond Horgan, who, facing upcoming re-election, entrusts the investigation to Rusty in the hope that a quick resolution will save his shaky political situation. However, Horgan is unaware that Carolyn and Rusty were lovers until a few months before the crime. The investigation begins, and the solution seems increasingly distant. Unexpectedly, Rusty himself is accused of Carolyn's murder. The ensuing trial has unpredictable twists and reveals disturbing secrets. Kindle County is a world of subtle moral ambiguities and conflicting balances, where the truth remains nebulous and no one is entirely innocent.
