“Indiana Jones” star Harrison Ford will be visiting a different kind of temple of doom this week as he observes murder trials in Detroit Recorder’s Court to prepare for a film role as a prosecutor. Ford has been cast as Rozat (Rusty) Sabich, a chief assistant prosecutor accused of murder in “Presumed Innocent,” a movie based on the Scott Turow novel of the same name. After Mirage Productions chose Detroit as a location for the film’s street scenes, the Michigan Prosecutors’ Assn. began mailing Ford training films. Chief Assistant Prosecutor George Ward says of Ford’s visit to Detroit this week: “I feel lucky, that of all the chief assistants in the country, my job is being used as a model.”
