Persons Executed for Interracial Murders

Other Studies of Racial Disparities In California, killers of whites were more than 3 X more likely to receive death sentences than if they killed minorities (Pierce & Radelet, 2005) In North Carolina, killers of whites were 3.5 X more likely to receive death sentences than if they killed minorities (Boger & Unah, 2001)

Race of Death Row Inmates 2010

North Carolina’s Racial Justice Act of 2009 Death-row inmates have the right to have their sentences commuted to life without parole if they can prove racial bias played a part in their death sentences. Law allows inmates to use data from studies that show bias in the judicial system statewide – need not show individualized evidence.
