Question Presented (OCR Extract)

Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 (1986), and its progeny, including Flowers v. Mississippi, 139 S. Ct. 2228 (2019), instruct courts to consider as suggestive of pretext repeated misstatements of the record by a prosecutor when defending its peremptory jury strikes, particularly when these misstatements have created a pattern over multiple strikes of jurors in a protected class? i
