20th Century Fox Television has provided Blackfilm.com with an exclusive clip to its latest TV drama series, Proven Innocent, airing on Friday, March 1st from 9pm \u2013 10pm on Fox.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmy and Golden Globe Award winner Danny Strong<\/strong> (EMPIRE) partners with David Elliot<\/strong> (\u201cFour Brothers\u201d) to tell the emotional story of one woman\u2019s fight for the innocence of others, as well as her own.<\/p>\n

PROVEN INNOCENT follows an underdog criminal defense firm led by MADELINE SCOTT (Rachelle Lefevre<\/strong>, \u201cUnder the Dome,\u201d \u201cA Gifted Man\u201d), a fierce and uncompromising lawyer with a hunger for justice. There is no one who understands the power of setting an innocent person free more than Madeline. At age 18, she was wrongfully convicted, along with her brother, LEVI (Riley Smith<\/strong>, \u201cFrequency\u201d), in a sensational murder case that made her an infamous media obsession, a household name and a national cause c\u00e9l\u00e8bre.<\/p>\n

Madeline runs the firm with her partner, EASY BOUDREAU (Russell Hornsby<\/strong>, \u201cSeven Seconds,\u201d \u201cGrimm\u201d), the very lawyer who helped set her free after seven years in prison. Their team also includes investigator BODIE QUICK (Vincent Kartheiser<\/strong>, \u201cMad Men\u201d) and communications director VIOLET BELL (Tony Award winner Nikki M. James<\/strong>, \u201cBrainDead,\u201d \u201cThe Good Wife,\u201d \u201cThe Book of Mormon\u201d), who runs a true-crime podcast that follows each investigation.<\/p>\n

While a hero and a victim to some, Madeline\u2019s bold and bullish tactics earn her a number of enemies \u2013 especially GORE BELLOWS (Kelsey Grammer<\/strong>, “Frasier”), the prosecutor who initially put her away and still believes in her guilt. Despite Bellows\u2019 ceaseless quest to see her behind bars again, Madeline will continue to defend others, even as she fights to maintain her innocence and searches for the real killer in her own case.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0Episode 3 “A Minor Confession,” Easy\u2019s church recruits the team to retry the case of William Hurston, a man convicted of murder at the age of 14 due to a coerced confession. Meanwhile, Bellows retaliates against Madeline using Rosemary\u2019s family. The William\u2019s case resonates with Easy as he tries to connect with his teenage son, Michael (guest star Phillip Cusic), and Madeline finds a new lead in the investigation of Rosemary\u2019s death.<\/strong><\/p>\n
