Racial inequites run across every branch of the legal system. So it is not a problem with the death penalty, but with juris prudence. Now as far as guilt or innocence... if you went to any prison anywhere in the world you would find that nearly every inmate woudl tell you they were innocent, tell you they were framed, or railroaded. They would tell you they shouldn't be there, and they may very well be right. So should we let them go? Say that all their trials and appeals can be overturned by taking their word for it? Incarceration, forced labor, or the death penalty, we are punishing them because our legal system determined they should be punished. You can't just overrule this decision, or that one. You either have to accept it's validity and work within that system or toss it out entirely and let out those who are guilty of their crimes as well as those falsely accused. Finally the familes of the condemed are put through alot, but Timothy McVeigh's victims couldn't appeal a bomb, there was no stay of detonation, and no matter how brutal executing him might be his act was far worse.
