Virgin Conviction

By
Shelley Malil, who played Haziz, a co-worker of Steve Carell’s character in The 40-Year-Old Virgin faces 16 years to life in prison following his conviction for the attempted premeditated murder of his ex-girlfriend in a knife attack.

 

San Diego County jurors found Malil guilty of stabbing Kendra Beebe more than 20 times during a violent quarrel at her San Marcos home in 2008. His defense attorney acknowledged Malil attacked Beebe — whom they accused of being a manipulative “drama queen” — in a jealous rage after finding her with another man, but that he never intended to kill her.

The judge excused a juror during deliberations who sent him a note saying she could not be impartial as “I believe in karma and believe that the victim deserved this because of her immoral lifestyle.”
