“If the defendant or the trial court do not correct errors in the prosecutor's statements of fact supporting his or her reasons for exercising peremptory challenges, these facts are considered to be true for purposes of determining whether the prosecutor set forth a race-neutral reason for the strike.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage · from the majority““To establish reversible error, Trotter must demonstrate that there is a real possibility that the jury would have rendered a different verdict if the trial court had given the eyewitness identification instruction from PIK Crim. 3d 52.20. [Citation omitted.] Trotter has failed to make that showing. His trial counsel actively pursued Damante’s in-court identification, knowing that it would be contradicted by Eddington’s testimony. Trotter’s counsel also thoroughly attacked Damante’s identification, highlighting Damante’s inability to identify Trotter the day after his parents were murdered. Here Damante was familiar with Trotter, and his identification was thoroughly challenged during the trial; there is no possibility that the jury would have returned a different verdict if the eyewitness identification instruction had been given. Therefore, the trial court did not err by not giving the unrequested eyewitness instruction.” 280 Kan. at 809.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Trotter v. State“[T]he trial court must avoid placing a determinative emphasis on any one factor. Although the trial court can objectively compare numbers or other facts, it must subjectively evaluate the credibility of the prosecutor as he or she explains the reasons for each challenged strike.”
