Review of 'Presumed Innocent' 1.1-1.3
I saw Presumed Innocent -- the movie with Harrison Ford in the lead role -- in 1990. I shortly after read the Scott Turow 1987 novel from which the movie was adapted. That was a long time ago, no blogging, and I was a devoted possessor of a Radio Shack M100. I thought the movie and book were brilliant, with one of the cleverest endings, one of the most unexpected twists, I'd ever come across in a fictitious murder story. I still feel that way right now.

After all, there are still some "women who kill" stories that still need to be played out on Lifetime. Yet the wait wasn't that long (I guess watching all of that sports helped). Before I talk about Lifetime's movie, here's a look at the true crime story about Kaitlin Armstrong.
