They offered this figure to rebut suggestions that race is a factor in how the death penalty is applied for murder, but they left out far more significant figures. A study published in the <em>Santa Clara Law Review</em> shows that those who kill whites are far more likely to get the death penalty than those who kill either blacks or Hispanics. http://mediamatters.org/items/200512140011 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 14:10:45 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200512140007 Predicting riots if Stanley "Tookie" Williams were not granted clemency, radio host Neal Boortz said, "There are a lot of aspiring rappers and NBA superstars who could really use a nice flat-screen television right now." http://mediamatters.org/items/200512140007 Wed, 14 Dec 2005 12:56:42 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200503170008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200503170008 Thu, 17 Mar 2005 18:23:37 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200503160005 http://mediamatters.org/items/200503160005 Wed, 16 Mar 2005 17:45:17 EST http://mediamatters.org/items/200503070002 http://mediamatters.org/items/200503070002 Mon, 7 Mar 2005 12:27:18 EST
