The problem is not "racism",  the problem when it exists is human limitations 
on analysis of facts presented in trials and technical aspects that are 
independent of actual guilt. That requires careful review. For most cases 
murders are witnessed so who did it is not the problem. It is the other 
nonsense that goes along with a trial. When most of  the criminals come from 
a certain group then they will be tried and convicted of crimes in proportion 
to their participation in crimes.    What you learn in law enforcement or 
corrections is that everyone is innocent even if they were caught with 
smoking gun or bloody knife in their hand.  Racism has nothing to do with 
committing a crime or being tried.  Who kills, rapes, robs, etc is not part 
of any "racist plot" by police or courts. 

As to commuting sentences, if you, move these violent criminals (and make no 
mistake about reality 99% of these on death row are violent and always will 
be violent)  into general prison population, rapes, murders, knifings etc. 
will occur as they do now.  So what do you do then with  these violent 
prisoners who have nothing to control them or stop them from future acts.  Do 
I support the death penalty? Absolutely! But it has nothing to do with racism 
it only deals with convicted criminals who are violent an always will be 
violent being punished and so we can stop the release of these violent 
killers, rapists, etc.    We have violent convicted murders who did it 
without any doubt such as the cold killers who murdered the Ehler boy north 
of C-U during a robbery.
