The experiment would have to be flawed to an absurd degree for the findings to not be an indication of bias in favor of black suspects.
Even multiple minor/medium sized flaws in the experimental design that produce black favoritism not reflected in real world behavior wouldn't in the aggregate account for producing a 25 times exaggeration of bias.
The bias is undoubtedly there.
All it tells us in isolation is that this is how a set of people in current society acts in a simulation of that kind. It does not tell us why, and trying to draw conclusions about why without further experiments is irresponsible.
