A history of the McCleskey v. Kemp Supreme Court ruling that effectively condoned racism in capital cases In 1978 Warren McCleskey, a black man, killed a white police officer in Georgia. He was convicted by a jury of 11 whites and 1 African American, and was sentenced to death. Although McCleskey’s lawyers were able to prove that Georgia courts applied the death penalty to blacks who killed whites four times as often as when the victim was black, the Supreme Court upheld the death sentence in McCleskey v.Kemp, thus institutionalizing the idea that racial bias was acceptable in the capital punishment system. After a thirteen-year legal journey, McCleskey was executed in 1991. In Killing with Prejudice, R.J. Maratea chronicles the entire litigation process which culminated in what has been called “the Dred Scott decision of our time.” Ultimately, the Supreme Court chose to overlook compelling empirical evidence that revealed the discriminatory manner in which the assailants of African Americans are systematically undercharged and the aggressors of white victims are far more likely to receive a death sentence. He draws a clear line from the lynchings of the Jim Crow era to the contemporary acceptance of the death penalty and the problem of mass incarceration today. The McCleskey decision underscores the racial, socioeconomic, and gender disparities in modern American capital punishment, and the case is fundamental to understanding how the death penalty functions for the defendant, victims, and within the American justice system as a whole.

This book is a work of fiction, although the events depicted in this book are far from fictitious. The difficulties women face in police work and the workplace, in general, are not fictitious, and taking a person's life is not fictitious. This book focuses on murder from the perspective of what could possibly influence a person to commit such a crime. There are also the actions of how the police unravel murders when there are no witnesses or apparent motives and are women and men equally adept in this line of work? Will misplaced emphasis on equality as opposed to ability compromise public safety? The social contract, a theory promulgated in Hobbes's Leviathan, is a hypothetical contract where people exchange peace and security for appropriate conduct. Murder is the most unacceptable crime in any society, and will this contract be weakened to accept a lower standard of results while allowing a better gender balance? This is one of the quintessential questions posed by this fictional book where some individuals are offered a Faustian bargain to earn millions of dollars by killing a number of innocent people. The 19th Precinct becomes the center of these events while other Precincts are drawn into the conflict. This book is a work of fiction-names, characters, businesses, events, and incidents are the product of the author's imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or events is purely coincidental.

Situates the linkage between race and the death penalty in the history of the U.S. Since 1976, over forty percent of prisoners executed in American jails have been African American or Hispanic. This trend shows little evidence of diminishing, and follows a larger pattern of the violent criminalization of African American populations that has marked the country's history of punishment. In a bold attempt to tackle the looming question of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, Ogletree and Sarat headline an interdisciplinary cast of experts in reflecting on this disturbing issue. Insightful original essays approach the topic from legal, historical, cultural, and social science perspectives to show the ways that the death penalty is racialized, the places in the death penalty process where race makes a difference, and the ways that meanings of race in the United States are constructed in and through our practices of capital punishment. From Lynch Mobs to the Killing State not only uncovers the ways that race influences capital punishment, but also attempts to situate the linkage between race and the death penalty in the history of this country, in particular the history of lynching. In its probing examination of how and why the connection between race and the death penalty has been so strong throughout American history, this book forces us to consider how the death penalty gives meaning to race as well as why the racialization of the death penalty is uniquely American.
