And according to exoneration data, innocent African American suspects are:

- 7 times more likely to be falsely convicted of murder than innocent white suspects.

- 3.5 times more likely ... for sexual assaults.

7x & 3.5x are lowballs since I expect only a relatively small % can actually afford to prove their innocence.

Conclusion: Good luck getting accurate crime stats from some of the most historically racist institutions in the USA.
