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 7 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“First, “the opponent of the preemptory strike must make a prima facie case that the challenged strike was based on race.” Second, if a prima facie ease is established, the prosecution must articulate a race-neutral explanation for the strike. Because the burden of persuasion remains on the challenger to demonstrate purposeful discrimination, the prosecution’s articulated explanation “need not be particularly persuasive or plausible.” Third, the trial court “must ... assess the plausibility of the prosecution’s explanation in light of all the evidence to determine whether the defendant has met his burden of proving purposeful discrimination.””
