The movie is about an african american male who is wrongly accused of murdering a female gas station attendant while he was actually in the bathroom of the gas station. He is being killed by injection when the detective (I believe its Tommy Lee Jones) is doing detective work and figures out that he is not the real killer and goes to the governors house and has him call to stop the lethal injection just as they are starting. Does anyone know what this movie is called?? Because this is driving me nuts!!

I've never seen it so I could be wrong, but a quick Google search seems to make "The Executioner's Song" sound like a good candidate for the movie you have in mind!

Are you thinking about "True Crime" with Clint Eastwood....?

That movie has the funniest scenes when Eastwood is playing "speed Zoo" with his kid in a stroller and dumps the kid while sprinting through the zoo. Man did I laugh at that....
