Is there racism during the trails when they have the death penalty sentence
that is issued? Is there a fair trial though out the sentence when a person of color in
the court? In the court the whites control the sentence of the death penalty when
there is a trail it is supposed to be fair trail when anyone is sentence to the death
penalty. When there is death penalty people say that it is a fair trial to colors so that
what they get they deserve it. Other people say that the court can be raciest and
that the white folks get a better deal in the death sentence than any other race.

number that happens when they are been givin death penalty. The ACLU wrote People of color have
accounted for a disproportionate 43% of total executions since 1976 and 55% of those currently awaiting
execution. That when the Reacher did this they realized that have of the 2/3 of the colors are in the death
penalty. This proves that there is not only something wrong with the role of color in deciding whether or
not someone deserves the death sentence, but also with the death sentence itself. The amount of people of
color being executed is not only alarming since it is ending a persons life, but since it indirectly keeps
in terms of how it handles the death sentence. People of color have been the
majority of those sentenced to death empirically, the people in the death sentence
are more of color then of the white people, even the argument that people of color
commit more crimes is an invalid argument since most of the people who commit
