Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Did the court of appeals contravene Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986) when in affirming the peremptory striking of the only qualified AfricanAmerican on the jury panel it wrongly focused on whether defense counsel had credibly described the juror’s physical movements instead of whether the juror’s physical movements had truly motivated defense counsel to strike this juror?
