Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In a particular criminal case, appellate courts will not examine the reasons for the prosecutor's use of peremptory challenges. ( Swain v. Alabama (1965) 380 U.S. 202, 221-222 [ 13 L.Ed.2d 759, 773-774 , 85 S.Ct. 824 ]; In re Wells (1971) 20 Cal. App.3d 640, 647-648 [ 98 Cal. Rptr. 1 ].) Rather, the burden is on the defendant to show a systematic use of peremptory challenges to exclude blacks over a period of time. ( Swain v. Alabama, supra, at p. 227 [L.Ed.2d at pp. 776-777]; In re Wells, supra . ) In the present case, the prosecutor peremptorily challenged all the black members of the jury panel except one, who was excused for cause. However, defendant has made no showing that this is the prosecution's policy over a period of time, nor does the record reveal such a policy. Accordingly, defendant has not met his burden under Swain and Wells .”
