Federal prosecutors declined to pursue white crack offenses in seventeen states and major cities

Evidence

In addition, the Los Angeles Times discovered that the federal government had failed to prosecute any white crack offenses across seventeen states and in many cities, such as Chicago, Boston, Denver, Dallas, Miami, and Los Angeles. “Out of hundreds of cases,” the newspaper reported, “only one white was convicted in California, two in Texas, three in New York and two in Pennsylvania.” — Dorothy A.
