From The Guardian:
In Los Angeles, only people of color are sentenced to death
The county’s prosecutor has won death sentences for 22 defendants, none of them white, report shows

Los Angeles has sentenced more people to death than any other county in the US, and only people of color have received the death penalty under the region’s current prosecutor, a new report shows.
LA county’s district attorney, Jackie Lacey, has won death sentences for a total of 22 defendants, all people of color, and eight of them were represented by lawyers with serious misconduct charges prior or after their cases, according to a new analysis by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).
The last execution in California was on January 17, 2006.
Lacey’s office has also continued to pursue death penalty trials this year despite the fact that California’s governor, Gavin Newsom, issued a moratorium on capital punishment, with an executive order officially halting executions in the state.
In addition to severe racial disparities and ethical concerns around legal representation, LA’s system is costing taxpayers millions of dollars in pursuit of a punishment the region’s voters and California leaders have rejected, activists said. Some key findings:
In California, 222 people currently sentenced to death are from LA county, representing 31% of all death sentences in the state. (The LA population is only 25% of the statewide figure.)
There’s proof of anti-Los Angelesism prejudice!
LA is one of only three counties in the country to have more than 10 death sentences from 2014 to 2018.
LA County has 10 million people, about twice the population the second biggest county, Cook in Illinois.
In the last five years, LA produced more death sentences per capita than any large county in Texas, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Utah or Washington – and sent more people to death row than the states of Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee and Virginia combined.
Last year, out of 3,100 counties nationwide, LA was one of only four to have more than one death sentence.Under Lacey’s tenure, which began in 2012, zero white defendants have been sentenced to death, and her capital punishment sentences disproportionately targeted cases involving white victims. Although 12% of homicide victims in LA county are white, 36% of Lacey’s death penalty wins involved white victims.
Of the 22 defendants sentenced under Lacey, 13 were Latinx, eight were black and one was Asian.
“This should be profoundly troubling to all of us,” Cassy Stubbs, director of the ACLU Capital Punishment Project, told the Guardian. “Los Angeles is really in a class of its own … It is just such an enormous producer of death sentences in a way that really does not make sense for where we are today.” …
In her statement this week, Lacey noted that California voters had not abolished the death penalty, saying: “I will follow the law as prescribed by the citizens of California – whether that is seeking the death penalty for the most heinous crimes or, with the abolition of the death penalty, life without parole.”
The district attorney’s office has “extensive review processes” in place to decide whether to pursue the death penalty and makes recommendations “based on the facts without regard to the race of a defendant or a victim”, Lacey said. Her office sought the death penalty in less than 3% of all eligible cases last year, she said.
Back in 2010, I read through most of the 2,700 homicides committed in Los Angeles County in 2007-2009, as aggregated by reporter Jill Leovy in the Los Angeles Times’ Homicide Blog.

I suggest that the threshold for capital crimes be lowered, for white people. A white woman being rude to a black kid on an elevator, for instance. Judicial Affirmative Action.
The Ultra Woke will not let up. Whitey must pay, one way or another. Never mind the reason so few Whites are sentenced to death in LA County is that few can afford to live there. And the prosecutor in question is well, by appearances, Black.
The Woke must fight (their caste/dynastic) enemies, average working/middle class Whites. It will soon be legal for Blacks to kill any White, just like the Purge movies come to life.
Really, Hollywood is a plague upon society as every stupid idea/meme they come up with ends up as law sooner or later.
Suppose the Purge does come to life? Who benefits? The ultra Woke like Zuck with his 6,000 bodyguards. And the like. Joe Average has to take it in the neck, fighting back is of course illegal and will be punished to the full extent of the law.

That is just complete cherry-picking here. It’s cherry picking with more degrees-of-freedom than you normally see, so I’ll give him that . There is probably some good statistics theory that could help one pick out groups of states or counties to prove about any damn thing one wanted to prove.
The important thing here is, can Los Angeles spare enough electrical energy to fry these 22, or is it all spoken for by the movie studios and tanning salons?

That doesn’t sound like a huge disparity given LA’s reputation. I don’t live in CA, but it seems like LA is more violent than the rest of the state.
Is it more violent, or is this just a misperception due to media coverage?
This is why it doesn’t actually matter. We have 750+ people on death row, and not a single one will be executed.
The only part that’s surprising to me is that California still has a death penalty. I’m amazed the libtards haven’t done away with it yet.
Los Angeles has more people than any two other counties combined. Los Angeles County has more people than all but seven or eight states.
What a dumb way to open a story. Or manipulative, to a dumb readership.
Even the most die-hard egalitarian judge is unlikely to have the stomach for an unjust execution, so this won’t go anywhere, but it probably means that the death penalty is not workable in a multiracial society.
So when you see someone get the death penalty, it means the families are insisting on it. I suspect the Hispanics know a cancerous tumor pretty well and would like the justice system to cut it out. Needless to say, I highly approve.
Los Angeles County has more on death row than Michigan, Wisconsin, and Alaska have had in their combined history. Those are all Trump states.

The total fertility rate for black women is 2.1 children per woman per lifetime. In recent years, about 3.7% of the youth born have been classified as multi-racial by the Census. The share of multi-racial people who report black ancestry is just north of 40%. So, roughly 1.6% of the children born in this country are multi-racial with black ancestry. Even if all of them featured black sires, it’s not going to increase the live births attributable to black men by more than about 10% or so.

I thought it was strange that so many witnesses to the execution described what they saw in ghastly detail, broadcast. There were a dozen or more.

“Are you willing to sacrifice a couple innocents just so that you can see the guilty die?”
Yes.
I am pretty much agnostic on the death penalty, because to me life in prison would be a fate worse than death, but it seems to me that executions ought to be held in public, or at least put on Youtube, so that we can see what our government is doing.
In Florida we have something called the Government in the Sunshine Law, a witty play on words intended to promote the ultraviolet-rich state climate, which states that all government meetings even at the highest and lowest levels must be held in public, but in reality the public gallery at executions, thought it does exist, is minimized to a few seats.
We had our latest execution here in Florida on May 23rd of this year, when the execution ceremony was performed on one Bobby Joe Long, a mass rapist and murderer. Long was arrested in 1984 and eventually given his lethal injection 35 years later, so the state cunningly gave his a lifetime in prison PLUS execution when he became old enough to qualify for the procedure on Medicare.
Long was born with an extra X chromosome, causing him to grow breasts during puberty, for which he was teased. Had he been born at a later time, he might have opted for womanhood, had himself castrated, and avoided all the nastiness.

The median age at the birth of the first child for black women is 23, v. 26 for white women. Really isn’t that different.
The median age for both is astonishingly old by historical standards. Optimal fertility starts at around 20 and ages 20-24 have the lowest probability of miscarriage. Fertility decreases rapidly after 30.
In most African countries and India the median age is between 18 and 20. However in most of the developed countries the mean age is even higher than in the US with
Best estimate is that most women are physically at their most attractive from about 18-23, which probably corresponds to biological fitness to reproduce. After that everything goes downhill all the way with Australia leading the way at 30.1. New Zealand is at 27.7. (A psychiatrist friend of mine who spent a year there who was a single man said that New Zealand must have the ugliest women per capita in the world, but whether there is a connection between attractiveness and fertility is moot.)
