Lawyers appeal clemency for criminal Garza in biased death system
Lawyers for Juan Raul Garza ask President Clinton to commute his 1993 death sentence to life without parole, calling the federal death-penalty system grossly biased against minorities. They cite a Justice Department report showing high minority involvement and note geographic disparities, while stating Garza accepts responsibility for the murders and seeks clemency rather than innocence.
