I read the article regarding the research and saw that:<BR/><I>'By itself, the offender's race does not play a clear role in the way cases are handled'</I><BR/>AND<BR/><I>'It would be incorrect to conclude that these results point to racial animus in the death penalty system'</I><BR/><BR/>The study appears to conclude that whether the death penalty is sought is more dependant on the race of the <B>victim</B> rather than the defendant.<BR/><BR/>The fact that you are twice as likely to get the death penalty if you kill a white person <B>IS</B> cause for concern though. We should definitely demand that those who harm minority victims get it too!Daydreamer of Ozhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06252522799288629118noreply@blogger.com
