14 Aug 2009 Jahr - North Carolina passes Racial Justice Act

Beschreibung:

Allowed defendants to strike the death penalty from their cases if they could show that racial discrimination was a factor in their prosecution. The law came as a response to a series of exonerations of Black people who were falsely convicted of crimes they did not commit by all-white or nearly all-white juries.
