“The defendant need not prove that all of the prosecutor's race-neutral reasons were pretextual, or even that the racial motivation was 'determinative.' " Currie v. McDowell , 825 F.3d 603 , 605 (9th Cir. 2016). "Instead, to prove a Batson violation, the defendant must demonstrate that 'race was a substantial motivating factor' in the prosecutor's use of the peremptory strike.”
