Research over the last 20 years has tended to confirm the hypothesis that most people’s death penalty attitudes (pro or con) are based on emotion rather than information or rational argument. People feel strongly about the death penalty, know little about it, and feel no need to know more. Factual information (e.g., about deterrence and discrimination) is generally irrelevant to people’s attitudes, and they are aware that this is so.

Referring to this variable more generally as race salience, we predicted that any aspect of a trial that leads White mock jurors to be concerned about racial bias should render the race of a defendant less influential. Though subsequent researchers have further explored this idea of race salience, they have manipulated it in the same way as in these original studies. As such, the scope of the extant literature on race salience and juror bias is narrower than many realize. The present article seeks to clarify this and other misconceptions regarding race salience and jury decision-making, identifying in the process avenues for future research on the biasing influence of defendant race
