2023While no prospective juror may be struck on improper grounds, our Supreme Court has explained that “ ‘[a]s a practical matter, . . . the challenge of one or two jurors can rarely suggest a pattern of impermissible exclusion.’ ” (People v.

2013(Compare People v. Ortiz (1990) 51 Cal.3d 975, 979 (Ortiz) [defendant had failed to pay retained counsel for services rendered and was unable to pay for future services].) His claim that he could not “afford [a new attorney] right now” was contradicted by his representation that he wanted “to hire another attorney” and had already “consulted with another attorney.” But even assuming that defendant made a showing of indigence, his claim fails.

2005Such a bare claim falls far short of “rais[ing] a reasonable inference that the opposing party has challenged the jurors because of their race or other group association.” (People v. McDermott (2002) 28 Cal.4th 946, 970 [ 123 Cal.Rptr.2d 654 , 51 P.3d 874 ].) In this light, we consider defendant’s further claim that the trial court’s consideration of his motion was perfunctory because it only reviewed two of the 10 juror questionnaires when the motions were made.

Panah, supra, 35 Cal.4th at p. 442 .) Further, defendant does not contend that the prosecutor engaged A.H. in “only desultory voir dire,” and the record reflects that A.H. was subject to voir dire similar to that of other prospective jurors.
