And that's not the person who killed Carolyn in the novel and the movie!
And I won't tell you who either is, in case you haven't read the novel, seen the movie, or the series, even after the Spoiler advisory below.
[Spoilers ahead ... ]
It wasn't Tommy Molto, even though he loved Carolyn too, and she rejected him. He gave a great summation of the prosecution's case to the jury, but Rusty's in his own defence was even better, and carried the day. All in all, one of the best courtroom scenes I've ever seen on screen,
It was also something to learn that Rusty staged the murder scene -- tied up Carolyn's body -- to protect whom he thought was the murderer.
Hats off to everyone who created this series for telling a story much like the book and the movie, but with some very different parts and angles, all sharp and intriguing. There wasn't a single acting performance that wasn't powerful in all kinds of ways, and I can't wait to see where all of this goes in the second season.
