Funny how the only major news outlets to carry stories like these anymore are foreign in origin? That's because the fortune 500 owned domestic media doesn't care to tell us just how badly screwed up our system is.
This article actually states the decision where the (US or Texas?) Supreme Court actually acknowledges racism in our justice system- and then says 'it's too costly to fix.'

The relevant paragraph, for cowards like lazy
@Doer ;
Death penalty opponent Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun whose autobiographical account of her relationship with a prisoner inspired the 1995 film “
Dead Man Walking,” feels Reed’s case is par for the course in Texas and other states with high rates of capital punishment and where black males make up a large share of the prison population. She said that in the 1987 case
McClesky v. Kemp, Supreme Court justices acknowledged that “race plays a role in the death penalty, but they said that it would be too costly to remedy it. You have the highest court of the land acknowledging racism in the justice system and saying it’s
too costly to fix it.”
Just because you're a white coward,
@Doer , doesn't mean it can't happen to YOU.
