Wrongful Convictions

Why Black & African Americans are more vulnerable to it.

Black Americans make up 53% of the 3,200 people exonerated in the United States since 1989, even though they only make up 13.6% of the population. This is a higher number than any other race across the board.

Furthermore, Black Americans are 7x more likely to be wrongfully convicted of serious crimes than white Americans and 19x more likely than their white counterparts to be convicted wrongfully of drug related crimes.
