  In Apple TV+, Presumed Innocent, Jake Gyllenhaal stars as Rusty Savage, Chicago's chief deputy
• 8:18
  prosecutor accused of murdering his colleague and lover, Carolyn Polhemus.
• 8:25
  David E. Kelly's eight-part mini-series, based on Scott Turow's 1987 novel, refreshes the

  Female characters, including Rusty's wife Barbara and detective Alana Rodriguez, are

  depicted as three-dimensional.

  Gyllenhaal's portrayal of Rusty as a desperate enigmatic figure drives this gripping legal

  Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.

  And he said,
• 9:11
  Be mild with the mild, Shrewd with the crafty, Confiding to the honest,
• 9:19
  Rough to the ruffian, And a thunderbolt to the liar.
• 9:23
  But in all this, never be unmindful of your own dignity.
• 9:30
  And that's a wrap for this morning.
