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.
“[S]tep 2 of the Melbourne test requires only that the proffered reasons be facially ethnic-neutral. If the reasons are not ethnic-based, the trial judge must then assess the genuineness of the reasons in order to determine whether they are pretextual. A conclusion that the proffered reasons are not ethnic-neutral is not synonymous with a finding of pretext. The former requires only a superficial analysis to determine facial, ethnic neutrality, whereas the latter requires a judicial assessment of credibility of both the proffered reasons and the attorney or party proffering them.”
4 later decisions quote this exact passagee.g. Knight v. State · Victor v. State“Step 1 A party objecting to the other side's use of a peremptory challenge on racial grounds must: a) make a timely objection on that basis, b) show that the venire person is a member of a distinct racial group, and c) request that the court ask the striking party its reason for the strike. Step 2 At this point, the burden of production shifts to the proponent of the strike to come forward with a raceneutral explanation. Step 3 If the explanation is facially raceneutral and the court believes that, given all the circumstances surrounding the strike, the explanation is not a pretext, the strike will be sustained.”
