1. “MR. GUERINOT: We would like the record to reflect that this juror is a black male, and we would ask the State to specifically state in the record, after your voir dire and mine, the racially impartial reason that they are exercising a strike. THE COURT: That will be denied, being the fact that the Defendant in this case is white. He is not part of any racial minority MR. GUERINOT: Thank you. Note our exception. THE COURT: Give the gentleman an excuse and tell him he is free to go. MR. MORRIS: In addition to that, if it be needed — probably doesn't need to — our point would be, of course, the records of the two brother-in-laws [sic], one robber and one dope pusher, and he says they can be rehabilitated, even though they have been up twice before. THE COURT: Tell him he's free to go and thank him for being with us.”
