I. Was counsel's objection at the moment
the pattern emerged sufficient to warrant
a full Batson inquiry withrespect to all strikes in the alleged pattern?

II. When a court allows earlier peremptory
challenges in a pattern of strikes to stand
without taking remedial action; does it
potentially endorse purposeful discrimination
contrary to Batson?
