Furthermore, Black individuals are seven times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of murder compared to their white counterparts; a Black person convicted of sexual assault is 3.5 times more likely to be innocent than a white individual in similar circumstances; and innocent Black individuals are 12 times more likely to be wrongfully convicted of drug possession than innocent white individuals.
