Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether a court reviewing a Batson claim may consider reasons distinguishing stricken jurors from those accepted by the prosecutor when the distinguishing factor was not cited in the trial court as a basis for the prosecutor's decision?
2. Whether the evidence in the state court record, including the prosecutor's starkly disparate strike pattern, failure to conduct individual voir dire, and the comparative juror analysis showing the implausibility of the prosecutor's proffered reasons for striking two Black panelists, supported the federal district court's grant of habeas relief.
