McCleskey was held accountable for his actions in court when he proceeded to lie about his actions, even though there were many people that saw it happen in action, and there was hard evidence, to support the case. Now there were many flaws in the case itself. As in the jury that day wasn’t fully correct in the sense that the jury wasn’t made up of African Americans, as well as Caucasian, and Latino. This was unfair to McCleskey. It violated his equal protections rights, which was his fourteenth amendment.

Even though he did get charged for two counts of robbery and one count for murder, the death sentence wouldn’t be in effect today, causing his trial to be unfair. It was also unfair because he was tried against a white male, which back then was such a big problem, because
