A groundbreaking study reveals 47% racial bias in convictions from Black juries

A groundbreaking study reveals racial bias in jury convictions, “When we break down this study we find that

- Black juries have a 12% conviction rate against black defendants, vs a 59% against whites. So that indicates that there is a 47% interracial bias when you have black jurors

- White juries have a 33% conviction rate against white defendants, vs a 26% against blacks, which actually demonstrates a negative 7% interracial bias

Meaning whites are more likely to convict their co-racial group than they are to convict somebody across racial lines

Whereas black juries have a 12% conviction rate against their own and a 59% conviction rate against white people
