NO JUSTICE FOR AFRICANS IN AMERICA

The worst miscarriage of justice is the conviction or sentencing of an innocent person. According to one study on race and convictions, Black men in America are seven times more likely to be falsely convicted of serious crimes than their White counterparts. This is largely a result of racial profiling. One particularly egregious example is the case of Clarence Moses-El, who became another statistic when he lost 28 years of freedom for a rape he never committed. Even though he was finally exonerated and paid compensation, that will never make up for his having had his life stolen.
