Respondent minor, after jury trial, was adjudicated delinquent of residential burglary and sentenced to Juvenile Department of Corrections. State's failure to provide any reason for its peremptory challenge to one black member of the venire and the court's failure to inquire into reason for challenge, and other irregularities in proceedings, require remand for a new Batson hearing.(NEVILLE and PIERCE, concurring.)
