In the case McCleskey v. Kemp, 481 U.S. 279 (1987), the defendant introduced a study by University of Iowa Professor David Baldus proving African-American
defendants who killed white victims were significantly more likely to receive death sentences than any other racial combination of defendant and victim, such as white/white victim/defendant, black/black victim/defendant, white defendant/black victim. The U.S. Supreme Court refused to cite the Baldus study as fact, but the study has been cited many times in defendants' challenges to the imposition of the death penalty.
