ARBRITRARINESS

All it takes for a person to be executed in the state of Florida is a 7 to 5 majority vote. A living, breathing person's life is in the hands of 7 people who may or may not be inexperienced in the justice system. It is also, proven by research that there are certain areas of the United States that give death sentences more freely than others. Florida is unfortunately one of those areas. Another proof of unfairness, is that the race of victims in death penalty cases are mostly white. This is not only racist, but a disgusting act by our so called "justice system." All of our lives should be valued equally, not by the color of our skin. It's quite tough if you're a male on death row as well. Male death penalty criminals are a dime a dozen as women only count as 1 in 100 of the executed individuals of our current era. It seems as though you have no chance of living if you're a male who has victimized Caucasian individual in the state of Florida.

It's quite odd that the amount of death penalty convictions happen to be around the same area.

There's an overwhelming number of  white victims in death penalty cases to the amount of other races combined
