DNA Exonerations Nationwide

I've noticed that when people cite conviction statistics by race, they never seem to include this context. I wonder why...

are you trying to imply that there are people who WANT innocent people in prison to STAY in prison?


Well, there are, obviously. But that's not really what I was addressing. I'm talking about statistics being taken out of the context of reality, in order to demonize.

Absolutely. The people who don't want to admit they made a mistake. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get an innocent person out of prison?
how in the heck can anyone argue against DNA evidence?

Agreed.

And while we are at it, what is the context of the stats from the OP?

you won't get a straight answer out of him..he'll just change the subject and act like nothing happened...you're reaching others who read this, though...they see what's going on.
 
Low IQ's have saved a lot of blacks from the death penalty too

Possibly because when you look at the number of convictions nationwide every year, the figures you are showing are statistically insignificant.

They are instructive nonetheless, in giving an idea of the margin of error, as it were. Since blacks are wrongly convicted at a rate that is more that twice that of whites, one has to take conviction statistics with a grain of salt.

Bear in mind that successfully overturned convictions can only be viewed as a sample size of a much higher number of overall wrongful convictions.

There is no way you can make that assumption. How many whites have been dna tested vs blacks vs asian vs latino. Your nmners have absolutely no statistical value without all the other numbers as well.

Do I assume blacks probably do have a higher rate? Yes, but not as you are trying to present without additional backup.
