The notion our legal system is void of prejudice has been challenged for the past several decades because statistics show a significant difference in conviction rates among races. Much of the previous research to explain this difference has focused on the assumption that Whites harbor racial and prejudiced views toward Blacks. Because the differential conviction rates are thought to be a result of White racism, Blacks have not been factored into the research designs. Other avenues of research have focused on stereotypical information influencing personal judgment and resulting in differential conviction rates. If the latter is true in that stereotypical information influences personal judgement, then on the assumption that stereotypes are adopted broadly Black jurors may render similar judgments in criminal cases on Black defendants as do Whites. This study examined verdicts rendered by Black jurors in different socioeconomic classes on Black and White defendants in different socioeconomic status (SES) categories. The 312 Black participants ranged from age 18 to 65. Participants were divided into two categories: high and low SES, based upon individual income. Participants were instructed to read one of four mock trials involving a drunk-driving case. The mock trials involved either an employed or unemployed White or Black defendant of low or high SES, resulting in eight groups. Results of the study showed higher conviction rates for Black defendants compared to White defendants by Black jurors. Results from the present study also suggest Black jurors render more guilty verdicts toward defendants in the low SES category than defendants in the high SES category. Results also yielded a higher conviction rate among low SES Black defendants than any other group. Overall, results suggest SES of defendants and race are a predictive factor in the outcome of verdict.
