Opinion

Court of Appeals Case No. 21CA1676

Petition for Writ of Certiorari GRANTED.

[REFRAMED] Whether the court of appeals erred in affirming the trial court's denial of petitioner's motion to dismiss for selective prosecution in a case in which the petitioner, who is Black, and his three codefendants were all charged with felony murder but only the two non-Black defendants received a plea bargain offer that allowed them to be tried in juvenile court in exchange for their cooperation with law enforcement.

DENIED AS TO ALL OTHER ISSUES.
