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 45 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“We appreciate that it is impossible to know what is in the mind of another person, and that it is possible that, in stating his reasons for striking a black member of the venire, a prosecutor may give a reason that is not the true reason, but we are convinced that the trial judges in our system are in a much better position than appellate judges to decide whether the truth has been stated.”
19 later decisions quote this exact passage“" Batson makes it clear . . . that '[t]he State cannot meet this burden on mere general assertions that its officials did not discriminate or that they properly performed their official duties. Rather, the State must demonstrate that "permissible racially neutral selection criteria and procedures have produced the monochromatic result." ' Batson , 476 U.S. at 94 , 106 S.Ct. at 1721 , citing Alexander v. Louisiana , 405 U.S. 625 , 632 , 92 S.Ct. 1221 , 1226 , 31 L.Ed.2d 536 (1972). Furthermore, intuitive judgment or suspicion by the prosecutor is insufficient to rebut the presumption of discrimination. Batson , 476 U.S. at 97 , 106 S.Ct. at 1723 . Finally, a prosecutor cannot overcome the presumption 'merely by denying any discriminatory motive or "affirming his good faith in individual selections." ' Batson , 476 U.S. at 98 , 106 S.Ct. at 1723 , citing Alexander , 405 U.S. at 632 , 92 S.Ct. at 1226 ." (Emphasis added.)”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“"After a prima facie case is established, there is a presumption that the peremptory challenges were used to discriminate against black jurors. Batson , 476 U.S. at 97 , 106 S.Ct. at 1723 . The state then has the burden of articulating a clear, specific, and legitimate reason for the challenge which relates to the particular case to be tried, and which is nondiscriminatory. Batson , 476 U.S. at 97 , 106 S.Ct. at 1723 . However, this showing need not rise to the level of a challenge for cause. Jackson , [ 516 So.2d 768 (Ala. 1986)]; [ State v. ] Neil , 457 So.2d [481] at 487 [(1984)]; [ People v. ] Wheeler , 22 Cal.3d [258] at 281-82, 583 P.2d [748] at 765, 148 Cal.Rptr. [890] at 906 [(1978)].”
