Question Presented (from Petition)

1. In a case where the prosecutor has exercised peremptory challenges against minority panelists citing traits shared by non-minority panelists who were allowed to serve on the jury, does a reviewing court properly consider offsetting "pro-prosecution" traits of those non-minority jurors that were never cited by the prosecutor as a basis for the challenged strikes at the third step of review under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986) (Batson)?
