“"When the evidence shows only that blacks were struck and that a greater percentage of blacks sat on the jury than sat on the lawfully established venire, an inference of discrimination has not been created. Logically, if statistical evidence may be used to establish a prima facie case of discrimination, by showing a discriminatory impact,... then it should also be available to show the absence of a discriminatory purpose."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“"[T]hese issues were not correctly presented to the trial court. Before trial, the appellant moved to suppress the items that were discovered in the car, but his motion was denied after a hearing. The appellant did not make an objection at the time that two of the items were offered and received into evidence at trial and his objection to the third item was insufficient. A timely and sufficient objection is a prerequisite for appellate consideration."”
1 later decision quote this exact passagee.g. Ex Parte Rowell“"This Court has expressed some dismay at the use of a juror's demeanor as grounds for striking that juror in that 'it presents considerable difficulty to the trial court as well as to the reviewing authorities in determining its truthfulness.' Avery [v. State , 545 So.2d 123 at 127 (Ala.Cr.App. 1988)]."”
