Zusammenfassung:In what has been called the Dred Scott decision of our times, the US Supreme Court found in McCleskey v. Kemp that evidence of overwhelming racial disparities in the capital punishment process could not be admitted in individual capital cases-in effect institutionalizing a racially unequal system of criminal justice.
