What was the segment where a lazy jury convicted a man of murder or rape? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember this segment where a man, maybe a Mexican guy was accused of rape, and even though the evidence didn't seem to add up, he was convicted anyway. One scene in the re enactment that stood out is one of the members of the jury, a female, was on break from the court or whatever and another member of the jury, also female, told her she was just going to say that guy did it because she was tired of the entire process. I remember thinking that was really despicable.

Luis Diaz, the "Bird Road Rapist." He was exonerated about a decade ago due to new DNA testing.

That happens WAY more often than I'd care to see...
