"Moreover, like other aspects of the criminal justice system, the law in
practice is both racist and sexist. The felony murder rule has
disproportionately impacted blacks in the state — roughly 40 percent of
those convicted under the rule are black — and even more so, young
people of color."

Good news.  Sometimes law reform is achievable.  Via Betsy McCall.
