The data itself comes from the National Registry of Exonerations, but the source I’m going to give you is from the Syracuse School of Law as I think they explain it better. I did get it slightly wrong, also. It’s not acquittal rating, it’s exoneration rating. That is, they’re seven and a half times as likely to be exonerated for violent crime after the fact. It doesn’t change the meaning that much though.

You’ll notice specifically Murder, Sexual Assault, and Robbery are by far the highest exonerated amongst Black folk.

well if they’re exonerated at a higher rate then that literally means they did NOT commit a crime since they were found not guilty in a court of law… what you meant to say was that they’re policed more and more likely to be accused of and arrested for crimes, at a particularly higher rate than other racial groups.

No no no.. they are literally a large portion of exonerations because they are an even large part of crimes. I agree they commit disproportionately higher number of crimes

the numbers were found based on a percentage of those tried and found guilty. as in, a higher percentage of those found guilty were later acquitted. if black people actually committed violent crimes at a higher rate, like you’re claiming, you would expect the exoneration rate to be the same across the board. the same thing can be said about white people and white-collar financial crimes in the same study.
