Melbourne v. State green
fla · 1996
1 sentence

2009When this Court initially examined the issue, we agreed that, under Melbourne v. State, 679 So.2d 759 (Fla.1996), where the proffered reason for the peremptory strike is facially race-neutral, the trial court must then determine whether the strike is pretextual before it can be disallowed. 1 We found that, based on the transcripts supplied in the original appeal, the trial court was required, but failed, to conduct the third step in that inquiry as to the genuineness of the explanation for the strike of juror Gray.

2000We therefore recede from that part of Rivera holding that the form of the objection was facially insufficient to trigger an inquiry under Abshire-Melbourne as to whether a peremptory challenge was being improperly exercised. *529 Turning next to the court's holding that the reasons given by defense counsel were not genuine, we follow our recent precedent in Young v. State, 744 So.2d 1077 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999).
