No white person was federally convicted of crack offenses in LA-area courts from 1988-1994

Evidence

A Los Angeles Times investigative report revealed that between 1988 and 1994, “not a single white…has been convicted of a crack cocaine offense in federal courts serving Los Angeles and six Southland counties since Congress enacted stiff mandatory sentences for crack dealers in 1986.” Instead, white crack offenders were prosecuted by California’s state court, where they often received significantly shorter sentences—up to eight years less for the same crime. — Dorothy A.
