“"In Matthews v. State , 534 So.2d 1129 (Ala.Crim.App.), cert. denied (Ala. 1988), the prosecutor struck several potential black jurors because they were single. In Matthews , we stated that the reason given by the prosecutor would not automatically be a race-neutral reason in any given case, but we found this reason to be race-neutral because non-black jurors were also struck because they were single."”
