Studies have found the rate of exoneration is slower for AfricanAmericans compared to other races and represent a disproportionate number of rapeexonerations relative to their share of the population. Actual compensation is rarelyincluded in analysis, because total compensation awarded has been a black box till now.This is the first study addressing these gaps, by calculating actual compensation forwrongfully convicted sexual assault exonerees and examine racial disparities betweenawarded compensation. Findings indicate African American exonerees receivesignificantly more, around $5 74,657, compared to white exonerees. Implications includeevaluating interrogation techniques, updating DNA databases, testing forensic evidence,and calling for states and territories to have compensation statutes.
