Cracked up- discriminatory sentencing in the drugs war

After the case of McCleskey, it was hard to claim racial bias. For the case of a young man, Edward Clary, a man with no priors caught while selling a small amount of crack cocaine and sentenced to a minimum of ten years in prison, the judge said there was no racial bias in the crack users. His lawyers argued how the law had discrimination towards African Americans due to the high number of them charged for selling crack. Clary's judge challenged the court views and declared that racial discrimination law violated the Fourteenth Amendment. By this, he sentenced Clary, a person in possession of cocaine. The ruling later was appealed to ad the high court overturned it by sending Clary to prison for the ten-year sentence.
