2024(Flowers v. Mississippi (2019) 588 U.S. 284 , 311–312; Miller-El v. Dretke (2005) 545 U.S. 231, 247, fn. 6 .) But “[i]f a prosecutor’s proffered reason for striking a black panelist applies just as well to an otherwise-similar nonblack who is permitted to serve, that is evidence tending to prove purposeful discrimination.” (Miller-El, at p. 241.)

( Sánchez , at p. 492, 204 Cal.Rptr.3d 682 , 375 P.3d 812 (conc. opn. of Liu, J.) [collecting cases]; see Harris , at pp. 874-876, 161 Cal.Rptr.3d 364 , 306 P.3d 1195 (conc. opn. of Liu, J.).)
