How later courts describe this case
- in a noncapital case, the strike of a minister was upheld; no voir dire response was discussed
- where the trial court did not make a determination as to whether the defendant had established a prima facie case, but the prosecutor's reasons were of record, this Court reviewed the sufficiency of the reasons
- wherein this court held as sufficient the prosecutor's reason for the strike of potential juror that "law enforcement recommended to strike, did not like being a witness in another case, lives in general area of crime and knows about it but did not reveal such knowledge."
