Other mistake: Rusty's attorney challenges Dr Kumagai by pointing out that Caroline Polhemus' had had a tubal ligation, but the spermicide nonoxynol-9 was found in her body. Kumagai is caught off balance, totally flustered. In fact as an experienced medical examiner Kumagai would know that at that time nonoxynol-9 was thought to offer protection from HIV and was widely used by people at no risk of an unwanted pregnancy. He would have thrown this right back in the attorney's face.
Presumed Innocent (1990)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Alan J. Pakula
Starring: Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Bonnie Bedelia, Greta Scacchi, Raul Julia
The Movie had the perfect ending a couple minutes before the wife starts spilling her guts, which ruined the movie for me. The perfect ending was when he was fixing the fence and noticed the blood and hair on the hammer. Should have just ended there and let everyone debate who did it. Would have been a perfect marketing tool. I have always wondered if director had that in mind and execs made up this ending for people too stupid to use their own imagination.
