Yes, you're right on that point.
I suspect we would find that they are both large factors, though. Keep in mind that the statistics I showed actually undersell the prevalence since I compared the prison population to exonerations. Exonerations typically require DNA evidence and there are any number of crimes that can land you in prison where DNA evidence is a non-factor. Even the appeals process isn't immune from racial bias.
