Actor Jonathan Bennett reprises his role as crime novelist Ben in the Lifetime TV movie Mommy, I Didn’t Do It. He first played Ben in the 2013 movie The Wrong Woman with Danica McKellar, who played the protagonist Ellen, a woman falsely accused of a violent crime. Ben helped Ellen prove her innocence in court. Now Ellen returns to court in Mommy, I Didn’t Do It to defend her 17-year-old daughter Julie (Paige Searcy) who’s been falsely accused of murder. Ellen will likely get the help of Ben.
