In the Proven Innocent episode “The Shame Game,” Madeline (Rachelle Lefevre) takes on the case of Sarah Bukhari. She’s a Muslim woman who’s been sentenced to 25 years in prison for murdering her newborn child. During the trial, on her way into the courthouse, she is violently harassed by anti-abortion protesters. Madeline’s nemesis, Gore Bellows (Kelsey Grammer), couldn’t be happier about Madeline’s new client. As his conspiring wife Grata (Laurie Holden) says to her husband, taking on the controversial case will “gut her (Madeline’s) firm and silence your greatest critic.”
Sarah Bukhari on Proven Innocent is portrayed by actress Nishi Munshi. Munshi is known for her roles on Lethal Weapon (A.D.A. Erica Malick), The Originals (Gia), Switched at Birth (Priya), and Days of Our Lives (Shalini), among others. Munshi will appear next in the TV movie Pandas in New York with Ashley Tisdale. Fun fact: Munshi was crowned Miss India California 2006 and won the Miss National Orange Show Scholarship in 2011. Proven Innocent airs Fridays at 9 pm on FOX right after The Cool Kids.
