BTW, you cant count
<55 percent white. That means 45 percent non-white, almost double the portion of nonwhites than is represented in the general population as a whole (25 percent non-white.) Or to put it more bluntly, going solely by statistics, the odds were 50-50 the killer was not white.
Going solely by statistics there was a 55-45 chance he was white.
The make-up of the 45% non-white compared to general population is irrelevant.
But then, going solely by statistics doesn't do a damn thing in catching the bugger. The "analysts" and "profilers" on TV have been watching a little too much TV methinks.
