  • holding that the COA requirement of § 2253(c)(1) “is a jurisdictional prerequisite”
  • noting that “a COA determination is a separate proceeding, one distinct from the underlying merits”
  • holding the court “may not overturn them ‘absent clear and convincing evidence’ that they are ‘objectively unreasonable’ ”
  • noting that the reviewing court “is not as well positioned as the trial court is to make credibility determinations”
  • observing that assessment of a prosecutor’s race- neutral explanations turns in part on “how reasonable, or how improbable, the explanations are”
