Overview: Prosecutor's statement that he peremptorily struck the only African-American on the jury panel because (1) he was a pastor and thus more apt to be forgiving, and (2) statements in his questionnaire and during voir dire raised questions about his ability to be fair and impartial to the State, were sufficient to overcome defendant's Batson objection.

View this case - free  

Overview: Defendant was entitled to a new sentencing hearing.

Moreover, the testimony that she had lost physical custody of two children was relevant to establish a motive.
