Oscar-winner Chris Cooper (Adaptation) is featured in this episode where it appears a teacher was killed for ending a grade-buying scam.
Things get heated when Jews are found under every bed by Cooper, who is trying to make a name for himself on the Klan lecture circuit.
Even Detective Lennie Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) is accused of orchestrating the conspiracy because he is a Jew. The fact that he wasn't and was raised Catholic didn't matter, it was enough to get that one juror to hold out.
This episode shows why out system is flawed compared to other countries. It only take one bigot to screw things up.
