Correction: Those are conviction rates, what's not reported is the other races who make up the majority of the better off economic classes that can afford a better legal defense. The poor, which are disproportionally minorities cannot afford the same degree of legal representation. If you're poor your lawyer will get you a plea which sends you to jail (and gets you counted in these stats) where someone with more money can actually beat the charge.
