In prosecution on drug and firearm charges, Dist. Ct. did not err in overruling defendant’s objection to prosecutor’s use of peremptory challenge on one of two African-Americans potential jurors, who indicated in questionnaire that he had been victim of prior false arrest. Dist. Ct. could properly find that prosecutor’s statement, that juror’s response in questionnaire was evidence of bias against law enforcement, was race-neutral justification for use of peremptory challenges, and defendant failed to show that said justification was pretext for race discrimination, where: (1) none of three proposed comparative jurors gave similar false-arrest response in questionnaire; and (2) one proposed juror, who left question unanswered and was not stricken by prosecutor, was African-American. Fact that prosecutor did not ask stricken juror any clarifying questions about his response in questionnaire did not require different result. Ct. also rejected defendant’s argument that prosecutor could not use bias against law enforcement as race-neutral justification because African-Americans are disproportionately affected by negative interactions with law enforcement personnel.
