"Presumed Innocent" is a peculiar combination, sometimes lively, harmonious and smooth, and sometimes melancholic and depressive. This is Alan Jay Pakula where the old style and the new style coexist. The film describes the system, system, and powerless protagonist at the time, and also describes a more emotional system: love and marriage, family and divorce, and so on. In the film, the private selves come and go freely behind the public mask. Lies, deception and betrayal are some of the other content that this type of film can provide, but the emphasis is different. The film captures the essence of the original novel: the court is a law enforcement agency, but it is often fragile and is the place where tragedies occur. This relies on the manipulator, even if there is justice, people are blinded and cannot see that the law is biased or evades the truth

Nico Della Guardia: We would like Mr. Molto to take the stand.
Judge Larren Lyttle: [angrily] NO!
Nico Della Guardia: Judge, you said that we'd be given leeway if the Defense proceeded with this frame-up theory. You said that!
Judge Larren Lyttle: Yes! But I did NOT know then that the State's chief piece of evidence was going to disappear after last being seen with Mr. Molto. I did not know THEN that the Deputy Prosecutor and the Chief Pathologist were going to *manufacture* evidence and testimony! That, gentlemen, is a FAIR interpretation of today's events. I'm still struggling with what's going to happen to Mr. Molto, but what is NOT going to happen is him getting up on that witness stand and making things WORSE!
Tommy Molto: Your Honor, my testimony will...
Judge Larren Lyttle: WITHDRAW, GENTLEMEN!
[the lawyers step back]
Nico Della Guardia: On befalf of the People of Kindle County, the State rests.

Rusty Sabich: Next time you talk to him, tell him to call me so I can find out what's going on in my own *fucking* investigation. Painless, you tell Molto, and you tell Nico, too, that this is cheap, cheap politics. Cheap Police Department bullshit. God better help them and help you, too, if I can't make a case for tampering.
