There is a lot of information on the internet about this topic.  I just typed "racial bias in capital punishment" and 196,000 results popped up.  If you enter each type of bias you will get plenty of source material.

You need to find a library with microfiche files of old newspapers for that area. If there was a conviction there may also be a record of that in the courthouse where it happened but you would probably have to pay someone to get you that info since it would take some digging through old files by a clerk. \nThat is about it.

You have to contact the Texas State Board of Paroles and Pardons, or something like that.  Don't try the governor, all he can do is get you a small reprieve from a death sentence.  Good luck.

In a law library, or online.  What state are you looking for, and for what crime? Do you need state and federal?\n\nYou can find penal codes on line at findlaw.com.  Perhaps you should start there.

Might be helpful to include the country next time , this is all US information..... Here is some research with links " Get to work and stop reading questions" LOL\n\n\n1) Check out their "History of the Death Penalty "section\n2) United States Courts on the death penalty\n3)Victims and the death penalty\n4)Capital Punishment, legal infliction of death as a penalty for violating criminal law. Throughout history people have been put to death for various forms of wrongdoing. Methods of execution have included such practices as crucifixion, stoning, drowning, burning at the stake, impaling, and beheading. Today capital punishment is typically accomplished by lethal gas or injection, electrocution, hanging, or shooting.\n5)History of the death penalty ---Plus a chart chronicles the United State's use of the death penalty over the past four centuries.

They will ask questions in order to determine if you know anything about the crime already. If you do, you won't be chosen.\n\nThey will also ask about your beliefs of capital punishment and things like that. If you tell them that you are for the death penalty 100%- there is a great chance you won't be chosen for the final jury. :) They don't like people who are that determined to send people to their deaths. Even if you don't believe this way, you can pretend to. It is up to you! \n\nGood luck.

Depending on the state you are in you can go to their Dept of Corrections Website. If he is in a Fed Pen you can go to the US Dept of Justice website for more information.

Your best bet is to outline the reasons that Capital Punishment is unjust. I would start with\n- inequities in the criminal justice system that lead to poor representation in the courtroom\n- racial biases that lead to biased juries and sentencing\n- police tactics that result in bad convictions \n- MOST IMPORTANT: the possibility of convicting those who are innocent (in Illinois, 13 people were released from death row when it was proved they were innocent)\n\nLook at Texas -- it is a picture perfect example of everything that is wrong with the Capital Punishment system.

I googled "sentencing guidline manuals + state" and lots of them came up. Some were very informative and some...not so much.  Since I don't know what state you want a manual for I won't send you tons of links.\nGood luck!!!
