The North Carolina Racial Justice Act

House Bill 472 and Senate Bill 461, known as The North Carolina Racial Justice Act, addresses racial discrimination in capital sentencing. This video featuring death row exonoree Edward Chapman, talks about racial bias and how the Racial Justice Act attempts to assure that race would not play a role in who gets the death penalty.

Still today the disproportion in execution rates based on the race of victims suggests our justice system places greater value on white lives, even after sentencing.

put all violent murderers to death, not only blacks. racism is bullshit. if you are guilty, you have no place in society.if someone kills intentionally, they should have no right to live anymore. same with child molestors, 1st offense should be death. i think every case should be reviewed with dna.

[whitemanwaydownsouth]

really, there was enough to put them in prison and keep them in prison.

just because someone didnt recieve the death penalty , doesnt mean they didnt deserve it.

@whitemanwaydownsouth No, it can establish a certain amount of guilt; however, it needs to have more substance to support it, otherwise the case will be weak.

Example: In the Tate-LaBianca Murders, although they had physical evidence that two of the convicted murderers out of the, I believe, five, where they found their fingerprints inside the homes of the Tate house, it wasn't enough to sentence them to death, because they had a weak case.

@KyoshiSukina so dna is acceptable to clear someones name, but not acceptabel to establish guilt??

umm OK

[whitemanwaydownsouth]

@KyoshiSukina those cases are talked about but rarely have any substance to support the claims. so i say this. what about the cases where guilt is obvious, admitted or witness testimony supports guilt? recently a young lady named eve carson was murdered in north carolina by two savages. they did it, there is no doubt. they should be put to death. i feel the same about the white woman who killed her stepdaughter&cut up her body. she has no place in society.race is irrelevant

[KyoshiSukina]

@whitemanwaydownsouth But what about cases where DNA was planted? What about cases where they surely show racial bias? Don't you believe that if someone were sentenced to death, that they should receive a fair trial at life? Based upon the given facts within this video, evidence was withheld from from the court that proved he was innocent-- this deemed that he was not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt nor any doubt.

North Carolina wants to stop this from repeating, and I say good for them.

@MrVincent441 Only by the laws of satan are you right... I serve a mighty God... in Jesus name

Our love, generosity, care, and fellowship must not be determined by a person's position, wealth, race, or social standing. We are not to court the rich or the poor. We must learn to treat all men alike.

@BryanOQuinnTV white lives are more important than black.
