How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • stating that the removal of the only African-American juror raises an inference of racial discrimination
  • explaining that while it is technically “incorrect” for a trial court to “conflate” the second and third step of a Batson inquiry, the defendant had “offered the trial court no reason to cast doubt on the State’s explanation for the strike”
  • applying the fundamental error doctrine where a defendant failed to object to the State’s proffered race-neutral explanation
  • a defendant may not argue one ground for objection at trial and then raise new grounds on appeal
  • “The analytical structure established by Batson cannot operate properly if the second and third steps are conflated.”
  • “Purposeful racial discrimination in selection of the venire violates a defendant’s right to equal protection because it denies him the protection that a trial by jury is intended to secure.”
