Trivia
Mike Robe also directed "The Burden of Proof (1992)"--also a sequel to "Presumed Innocent (1990)"--that focused on the character Sandy Stern, played by Hector Elizondo. (In "Innocent," Stern is played by Alfred Molina.) The characters of Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto did not appear in that film, but Brian Dennehy, who had played Raymond Horgan in "Presumed Innocent (1990)," appeared in a different role.

Goofs
Rusty Sabich is a head appellate judge, ruling on an appeal by a convicted murderer that he prosecuted. In real life, he should have recused (removed) himself from the case or the convicts appellate lawyers should have filed to have him removed from hearing the appeal. Either way he should not have been presiding over this case as he was personally involved.

Quotes
[having just received some circumstancial evidence against Rusty Sabich]
Tommy Molto: You're giving me buckshot here. I need one bullet. If you want to shoot at the king, you've got to *kill the king*!

5/10

Average TV Movie

This is uninspiring legal drama and the kind of film where the behavior of the characters only adds up in the sense that it serves the script, not in a way that resembles real life. It feels like a rushed job with rather crude characterization, while Bill Pullman looks bored and some of the actors like lost in translation (especially T. Penikett, C.L. Haggquist, N. Oliver). You will like it only if you are close to the age of 60 or above. "Old" ideas, "old" execution and VHS type of movie.

Rating: 5+/6-
