Abstract
Are Black-on-White (BkW) death-eligible murder cases more aggravated than the other racial categories? To investigate this question, we look at the 316 death-eligible and completed murder cases with black and/or white principals gathered for the study Death Sentencing in Baton Rouge Parish (1990-2008) by Glenn L. Pierce and Michael L. Radelet, and for the study East Baton Rouge (LA) Parish Study on Race, Homicides, and Prosecutions (1990-2008) by Tim Lyman. We find that these murders are less aggravated than it first appears.
