Death Penalty Info:
"In 96% of the states where there have been reviews of race and the death penalty, there was a pattern of either race-of victim  or  race-of-defendant  discrimination, or both."

"A study in California found that those who killed whites were over 3 times more likely to be sentenced to death than those who killed blacks and over 4 times more likely than those who killed Latinos."
