Robert Jones

The BBC has an article by Aleem Maqbool about justice delayed:

America imprisons a higher proportion of its citizens than anywhere else in the world, and Louisiana more than any other state in America.
It is estimated that fourteen out of every thousand adults in the state are in prison.
This is the story of one of them, Robert Jones, who was jailed in the 1990s for killing a young British tourist in New Orleans, Louisiana. It was a crime another man had already been convicted of, but he was prosecuted anyway.
The judge who sentenced the young father to life in prison now says his skin color sealed his fate. But even today, more than 23 years after he was arrested, Robert Jones is still not a free man.
