State v. Stewart
Missouri Court of Appeals · Decided June 28, 2011 · Smart, Pfeiffer, Martin
343 S.W.3d 711; 2011 Mo. App. LEXIS 892; 2011 WL 2534621 (South Western Reporter, Third Series)

State v. Stewart

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Sylvester Stewart appeals following a jury verdict convicting him of burglary in the first degree, stealing, assault in the third degree, and resisting arrest. Stewart maintains that the trial court clearly erred in overruling his Batson challenge to the State’s peremptory strike of an African-American venire person. Because the State offered a facially race neutral explanation for the strike of the venire person, and because Stewart did not establish that the State’s explanation was merely a pretext for discrimination, we affirm. Rule 30.25(b).
