How later courts describe this case
- "The trial court told the jury that it could consider any evidence in mitigation but that mitigating circumstances had to be based on the evidence."
- "[f]or plain error to exist in the Batson context, the record must raise an inference that the state . . . engaged in `purposeful discrimination' in the exercise of its peremptory challenges."
