1. Does clearly established federal law determined by this Court and applied in six other circuits require reversal of a state appellate court's denial of relief from a capital prosecutor's discriminatory exercise of four peremptory strikes against Black venire members wherein the trial court, for each of the four strikes, failed to determine "the plausibility of the reason in light of all evidence with a bearing on it"? Miller-El II, 545 U.S at 251–52.

2. Does Mississippi Supreme Court precedent, which deems waived on direct review arguments of pretext not stated in the trial record, defy this Court's clearly established federal law under Batson?

3. Does a finding of waiver on a trial record possessing Batson objections, defense counsel efforts to argue the objection, and the trial court's express assurance the issues were preserved, constitute an unreasonable determination of facts?
