14 août 2009 - North Carolina passes Racial Justice Act
Description:
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.Ajouté au bande de temps:
