Question Presented (from Petition)
1. Whether, by hypothesizing reasons the prosecutors might have had to use half of their peremptory challenges to excuse all four prospective African-American jurors, the California Supreme Court erred in ruling that the trial court properly declined to find an inference of discrimination at step one of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986) (Batson), in direct contradiction to Johnson v. California, 545 U.S. 162 (2005) (Johnson).
