What do you expect, when privileged whites are given much lighter sentences or let off...for the same things in which blacks are prosecuted & incarcerated?
Or do you think it's just a coincidence, that 70% of those cleared by DNA in the 'Innocence Project' are minorities...and 63% are black?

Simply a coincidence?
Not a coincidence at all. When you have one group committing most of the crimes, then the majority to be exonerated by DNA evidence will be that same group.
Here's an example: You have two groups of people. Group A is convicted of committing 20% of all crimes and group B is convicted 80% of all crimes. We know that some of those convictions were wrong because the justice system nor human beings are not perfect. So we find that 5% of those convictions are overturned by DNA evidence. 80% of those overturned conviction are from group B.
The other thing here is what percentage of convictions in this country are overturned by DNA evidence? I couldn't find that but since 1989 there have been 367 conviction overturned by DNA evidence.
That doesn't seem like a large enough sample size to determine anything.
