From the PM discussion of spousal murder rates we were having:

fathersforlife.org

About 6-7% of murders in '96 were spouses. So you've got a 15/16 chance of being murdered by a non-spouse if you're murdered and married. And, contrary to popular opinion, you are not in much greater danger if you are a women. The ratio of women to men killed by a spouse is 41:59.

Here Dershowitz saying the same:

And, of course, blacks are at much higher risk of murder than Caucasians:

and 94% of black victims were killed by blacks.
