1990 Ala. Crim. App. LEXIS 282; 1990 WL 93255
Bowen
Harrell v. State
Opinion of the Court
This Court remanded this cause to the circuit court for application of the principles of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), as interpreted by Ex parte Branch, 526 So.2d 609 (Ala. 1987). After an evidentiary hearing, the trial judge found that βthe prosecutor has failed to provide the Court with facially race neutral reasons for its peremptory challenges which are credible under the law.β
Therefore, the judgment of conviction is reversed and this cause is remanded to the circuit court for further proceedings.
REVERSED AND REMANDED.
