Actually I'd prefer to have you lay out exactly what it'd take to convince you in a post I can link to. That way if I do find the data, I can point to this post when you shift your goalposts.

Take a sample of 100 random felony cases against black defendants and 100 random felony cases against white defendants prosecuted by this specific prosecutor during a specific period of time and where the defendants were from similar economic backgrounds. Then show that all things being equal, black defendants were prosecuted more aggressively than white defendants.
In other words, approach this as if you were a scientist and take the emotion and assumptions out of it.

It's almost like someone has put together a huge body of data that you cheerfully ignore.

In the future, I am not your research department. This is a trivial google search for a site that compiles a huge body of data you want. Racism is alive and well in the justice system.
Which is all way off topic from the more important question: why is this curious young girl's life being ruined.
P.S., you are, in my book, not a good person. Just thought you should know. Mostly because of your willful ignorance.
