I won't argue with your point in general, Tom...
However, since I'm not a statistician, I can't provide a technical explanation of my own perspective, other than to say...

Given the raw numbers...
69% of drug conviction exonerees are Black
They are eight times more likely to be exonerated for false **** convictions.
And 50% more likely for false murder convictions.

While I realize these numbers don't accurately reflect the entire situation... as you pointed out...

I do believe they are evidence of a legitimate imbalance in our law enforcement and justice system!

That fact is recognized by Chief Justice Roberts who wrote that “the law punishes people for what they do and not who they are."

Which is clearly not the case!

Unfortunately, that is not likely to change... as "the perceived link between race and criminality is so hard-wired in this country.”

And due to the fact that we're obviously unwilling to have the pertinent and required conversation... i.e. discouraging and condemning the discussion of CRT, etc...

It will virtually be impossible "to unmoor [racial discrimination] from our legal system”... or our society!
