That was the only statistic that met significance, and was the very first one I reported in my OP. I obviously didn't leave it out on purpose, because I didn't leave it out!

I also provided my source and my calculator, so feel free to check my "calculations". In fact I would love it if someone who had a little more experience with statistics would check my numbers to make sure I'm on the right track.

I have stated (thrice now) that there is a disparity in acquittal rates in cases with black victims vs cases with white victims.

How often have you admitted that there is no difference in acquittal rates for white defendants vs black defendants?
