In Ms. Smith's initial statement, she claimed that a black man had stolen her car and kidnapped her sons. I recall an interview with someone from the DA's office who said something to the effect that this is type of heinous crime that deserves the death penalty.

I am quite certain that if Ms. Smith's statement regarding the black man had been true, a death sentence would have been a certainty. However, upon Ms Smith's conviction, prosecutors issued a statement indicating that the community had suffered enough and they would not seek the death penalty.

At that point it became clear to me that the death penalty was both racists and sexist.
