Probation & acquittals are taken into account (none / 0) (#4)

The study excluded people who received probation.

The study also excluded acquittals at trial and considered only those who received prison sentences.

This is incorrect.  The study counted acquittals and probation as zero days in prison, since the length of the jail time is zero.  This is stated both in the article and the paper.  The paper also says that if someone gets jail time and probation, only the days from jail time is counted.

also (none / 0) (#5)

There were no death penalty cases in Denver in 2002.
