The Rainmaker season 1 episode 10 ending explained: What was the jury's final verdict in Donny's case?
As Leo had come to the stand as a witness in the case, he was stopped by the judge to present the closing argument. This pushed the pressure on Sarah to present convincing remarks in favor of Tinley Britt's client, Keeley. While Rudy gave an emotional perspective of the case in his statement, Sarah tried to ask the jury to look at facts beyond emotions. She even highlighted Rudy's personal loss to highlight how he was fighting for the case with emotion rather than facts and proof.
However, towards the end of the episode, the jury unveiled the much-awaited final verdict in the Donny Ray death case. They stated that the hospital was at fault, finding them guilty of conspiracy in Donny's death and the hiding of information regarding it. Another big announcement by the jury was that Dot Black had to be given $1.5 million for compensatory damages and $80.5 million for punitive damages.
With this pivotal verdict, Rudy managed to bring justice to Donny and Dot and won his first case. The team had worked for days to make it happen, and the final moments of joy for the team showed how important the win was for them all.
What was Leo's fate at the end?
Leo Drummond, the main face of the Tinley Britt law firm, went to great lengths to bring victory to his clients. However, the final verdict regarding the Donny Ray Black case completely changed his and his company's fates.
While Rudy could not prove Leo's involvement in the case, his becoming a witness and the final verdict put much pressure on Leo. At the end of the final episode, the viewers get to see the FBI approach him for Donny Ray's case as well as Rosalie Sutton's death. Keeley was also made to step down as the hospital's CEO.
Sarah chose to be on the firm's side, becoming much stronger at the company. While Leo remained stuck with the FBI investigations, Sarah climbed the ladder without caring about Leo. With Sarah and Tinley Britt moving ahead, Leo was left without much power at the firm he used to run on his own terms.

She also planned to donate to the shelter where she met her pet, Daisy.
Deck informed Rudy that he planned to take the bar examination once again. Rudy appreciated him and gave him the lucky coin that his brother had given him. This proved that they had grown closer in one case and were to continue working together ahead with Bruiser.
