Speaking of NC and Race wars...NC has implemented sentencing affirmative action. If you are a black male and can statistically prove that more black men received the death penalty than another gender/race, you can't be given the death penalty, no matter how guilty you've been proven. Fun addition: the way it's written allows the defendant to twist the stats in many different ways: his gender/race, victim's gender/race, combo of the two...

I think it mainly applies to murder & the death penalty, but I've read about cases where weasel lawyers have managed to loophole it for other things as well.

Her "boyfriend" has died and now she will probably face a murder charge.

She probably got lucky....with this new racial law, she can probably get less time, if she gets any at all.

No, the law you're referring to only applies to people who have received the death penalty. "Using" it successfully means life imprisonment instead of the death penalty.
