Good thing for Andrea that she's not a Negro. Othewise her chances for life vs. death penalty weren't as good.

Oh sweet Jesus. Are you serious? There are plenty of white guys on death row here in Texas.

Furthermore:
Death row statistics (awaiting execution) by race in Texas:

white - 150
hispanic - 109

Looks like a pretty round ratio to me. Please don't spout this crap about "Oh, Texas only kills black offenders!" You're right on one account, I guess. Texas does kill black offenders, right along side the white guys, the hispanics, and the "others". Doesn't really matter what race you are. It matters what crime (atrocity) you commit. We're an equal-opportunity executioner!
