"Janet Reno, found that in 75% of the cases in which a federal prosecutor had sought the death penalty in the past five years, the defendant was from a minority"

This is just statistical spin. It means nothing without analyzing who was commiting what crime

You'd have to tell me, for example, that 75% of all armed robberies resulting in death commited by blacks resulted in the death penalty, while only 50% of all such similar crimes by whites resulted in the death penalty.
