'Proven Innocent': Kelsey Grammer's character isn't the main villain of the legal drama, it's the media and journalists

'Proven Innocent' was flacked by some viewers for inaccuracies regarding the portrayal of law practice, but they've also got the role of the media wrong too
PUBLISHED FEB 21, 2019

In the pilot episode of Fox's 'Proven Innocent,' we met the heroes, the victims, the suspects, and the villains. There are a lot of greys in the scenario and one thing we aren't sure of is if Gore Bellows (Kelsey Grammer) is really the antagonist?

Sure, Madeline Scott (Rachelle Lefevre), the protagonist of the show, who is a fierce lawyer fighting for the wrongly convicted, definitely thinks so. Bellows is the "corrupt" lawyer who put Madeline away in jail along with her brother Levi Scott (Riley Smith) for the murder of Rosemary Lynch (Casey Tutton). Ten years after being proven innocent, Madeline becomes a lawyer; a top-notch one graduating with distinction from Yale and establishing her own firm with Ezekiel 'Easy' Boudreau (Russell Hornsby), the reinsurance regulator turned lawyer who set her free.
