Description

Both the United States and the California Constitutions prohibit the exercise of peremptory challenges solely because of group bias. (Batson v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 79 (Batson); People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258.) In this case, defendant objected at trial that the prosecutor had challenged three African-American prospective jurors on the basis of their race. The trial court found that defendant had not established a prima facie case of group bias and overruled the objection. Following his conviction of second degree murder and assault resulting in the death of a child under the age of eight, defendant argued on appeal that the court erred in not finding a prima facie case of group bias. The Court of Appeal agreed and reversed the judgment. We granted review.
