  • The Racial Justice Act and the Long Struggle with Race and the Death Penalty in North Carolina*
    MOSTELLER&KOTCH.PTD2 9/18/10 12:07 PM THE RACIAL JUSTICE ACT AND THE LONG STRUGGLE WITH RACE AND THE DEATH PENALTY IN NORTH CAROLINA* SETH KOTCH & ROBERT P. MOSTELLER** In August 2009, the North Carolina General Assembly enacted the Racial Justice Act (“RJA”), which commands that no person shall be executed “pursuant to any judgment that was sought or obtained on the basis of race.” One of the most significant features of the RJA is its use of statistical evidence to determine whether the race of defendants or victims played a significant role in death penalty decisions by prosecutors and jurors and in the prosecutor’s exercise of peremptory challenges. The RJA commits North Carolina courts to ensuring that race does not significantly affect death sentences. This Article examines the RJA and North Carolina’s long struggle with race and the death penalty. The first part traces the history of race and the death penalty in the state, showing that racial prejudice exerted a consistent, strong, and pernicious influence on the imposition and disposition of death sentences. From colonial times into the 1960s, the overwhelming majority of those executed were African American, and although most victims and perpetrators of crime are of the same race, the overwhelming majority of victims in cases where executions took place were white. Hundreds of African Americans have been executed for a variety of crimes against white victims, including scores of African American men executed for rape. However, just four whites have been executed for crimes against African American victims, all murders. * © 2010 Seth Kotch & Robert P.

  • Motion for Appropriate Relief Pursuant to the Racial Justice Act
    STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE COUNTY OF STANLY SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION 95 CRS 567 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA ) v. ) ) GUY TOBIAS LEGRANDE, Defendant. ) ........................................................... MOTION FOR APPROPRIATE RELIEF PURSUANT TO THE RACIAL JUSTICE ACT ............................................................ Defendant, Guy Tobias LeGrande, through counsel, files this Motion for Appropriate Relief pursuant to the Racial Justice Act (HA), N.C. Gen. Stat. $$ 15A-2010 to 15A-2012, the Sixth, Eighth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, and Art. I, $9 1, 19, 24, 26, and 27 of the North Carolina Constitution. Under the RJA and constitutional law, Defendant, who is currently under a sentence of death, is entitled to a sentence of life imprisonment without parole. INTRODUCTION 1. The evidence set out in this Motion establishes that race is a significant factor in North Carolina's system of capital punishment. The comprehensive, scientific study presented here demonstrates that race is a significant factor in capital proceedings. Prosecutors across the state strike eligible black and other racial minority venire members at double the rate they strike eligible white venire members and individuals who kill whites have significantly increased odds of receiving a death sentence than those who kill blacks or other racial minorities. 2. The evidence set out in this Motion also establishes that race is an extraordinarily significant factor in capital proceedings in the 20Ih ~rosecutorialDistrict. The disparity seen between the prosecutors' strikes of eligible black and other racial minority venire members compared to eligible white venire members is the highest of any district in North Carolina that has more than one person currently on death row.

  • Realtors, Home Builders Saturate
    Democracy North Carolina 1821 Green St., Durham, NC • 919-286-6000 • www.democracy-nc.org ________________________________________________________________________________________________ REALTORS, HOMEBUILDERS SATURATE GENERAL ASSEMBLY WITH CONTRIBUTIONS In the context of the debate in the NC General Assembly about the transfer tax, we’ve been asked for more details about the political giving of the NC Realtors PAC (sponsored by the NC Realtors Association). Others have asked about the NC Home Builders PAC because it is closely allied with the Realtors in the fight to stop legislation about a transfer tax. Here are several factoids that focus primarily on these two PACs’ donations during the 2005-2006 period, including the split in receipts between Senate and House: • The NC Realtors PAC gave $615,000 to legislative candidates (winners and losers) in the two-year period 2005-2006, more than any other PAC in the 2006 election period. • That amount is almost three times the $235,000 it gave just four years earlier, during the 2002 election, when it was also ranked number one for giving to state legislative candidates. • For the 3 elections cycles – 2002 through 2006 – the NC Realtors PAC gave a total of $1.1 million to legislative candidates (winners and losers). Their close allies, the NC Home Builders PAC, donated a total $760,000 during the same period. Combined, the two PACs gave $1.9 million in the past three elections. The Home Builders PAC ranked 4th in 2006 and 2nd in 2002. • The Realtors and Home Builders spread their PAC donations broadly among many members, as do many PACs in North Carolina.
