It's 2004 and Omar Pena has just broken down in tears after a grueling nine hours in the interrogation room. Benson was finally able to get Pena to confess to the brutal rape of a woman whom he tied up, gagged and poured ammonia into the eyes of for scarring. Back in present day, Pena has his day in court for another appeal in which he is representing himself. He would like his confession and conviction of the rape overturned as he tells the court he was innocent and his confession was made under extreme duress. The judge emphatically denies his request, and with the sound of the gavel, sends Pena back to prison for life.
