Reply #21: What makes you think a wealthy white woman has never killed a

poor black or hispanic man?

How is what happened in Katrina, with the rich flying in and out of the Garden District in copters, not an example of homicide by malicious indifference? How about the cops who shot at people trying to get out on foot, or the contractors who went around taking potshots at survivors, and vice versa?

Seems to me you are suggesting that if such an act occurred by a wealthy white woman, the very rarity and unusualness of it would be considered by the sentencing judge to be a mitigating circumstance. Whereas the rarity of a wealthy white woman being "savagely" killed by a poor black male is invariably considered an aggravating circumstance. Interesting how those double standards work in our society, isn't it?
