Jake Gyllenhaal's 'Presumed Innocent' gets renewed for a second season

Spoiler alert. I guess if he’s in a second season, he’s not guilty in the first. 

Totally pointless. And if you have read the book by Scott Turow and watched the movie with Harrison Ford and Greta Scatchi you would know that he is acquitted on a technicality and the wife did it. Which was an excellent ending. 
What in the hell are they going to come up with to create a new season? Let's hope that it is not based on Scott Turow's later books. They have been plainly awful. Churning the same characters through the same county on an utterly forgettable plots. 

I can't imagine Rusty Sabich is going to have another affair in which he is implicated killing the lover. Oh wait, his wife has an affair with the barman from the tele series - which btw was not in the original book or movie - she gets pregnant. We already know that Rusty has a violent temper. He finds out about the affair and that his wife is pregnant with the baby from the barman, goes into a vengeful killing spree and wipes out the barman and the wife. Because the latter two are black and Rusty is white he is accused of murder with the added component that it a racially-motivated killing. It spurs the Chicago South Side to at first peacefully demonstrate then to launch violent rampages throughout Chicago, burning, looting - you know like Watts. 

But wait Rusty, while guilty as hell, hires a dream team - like OJ - and get away with killing the wife and the barman. 

Don't call it Presumed Innocent instead call it Innocent? Yeah Right!
