Race plays a huge factor in the death penatly. I was a rasic tim back in the 1900 and if you werent white you were poor you had a big chance of getting put on deadrow. I n the movie deadline David Keaton a black male was put on death row. He was later found innocent this just proves that he was put as the mudere in the case because he was black and poor. If h was a whit male who was rich they would have never exepectied him. Black people have been constantly wrongly convicted because of the members of the jury and the media. The death penalty is greatly supported in the states where it is allowed. The reason for this is that people like the death penalty because they get revenge. People that have lost a son or family memeber to some else always looks for an eye for an eye because they want to take some pain of and put it on that person.
What i believe is the big picture in most of the clemency cases is that they were wrongly committed mainly on rase and intense interigation. As said in the movie deadline some black people that were interifgated by the chicago police troched them to say it was them that commited the crime when they didnt. They could not with stand the pain from all the torch. We need to make sure that are justice is ture and not done wrongfuly.
