The young Melissa, hanging onto every one of his last words, decided then and there that she too would defend the wrongfully convicted.

Starring in a TV Show :

In 2017, Melissa was approached to star on a reality television series called Reasonable Doubt.
The show’s synopsis was that she would team up with retired homicide detective Chris Anderson & the pair would investigate potential wrongfully convicted murders.
Each week, they would be presented with a new case. After a thorough investigation, the duo would have to decide whether the conviction was indeed wrongful or whether the convict’s family would have to face the bitter truth that their family member was indeed guilty as charged.

Melissa’s curiosity to become a lawyer was due to her mother’s high school boyfriend, Ira. Growing up, Melissa’s mother would host weekly dinner parties at their household. Ira would entertain Melissa by sharing some of his court case dramas of how he would defend the falsely accused. Melissa, hanging onto every one of his last words, decided then and there that she too would defend the wrongfully convicted.
During the filming of ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ Melissa had a habit of leaning forward in her chair when someone would be telling her a story or vital piece of information. To prevent this, the crew thought it would be a good idea to tie her up with a bungee cord any time she sat on a chair.
