| 3 | Spencer v. State | green | “must expressly make a claim of pretext and at least attempt to proffer the circumstances that support its claim.” | 3 |

| 5 | Hayes v. State | green | “compliance with each step of melbourne is not discretionary, and the proper remedy when the trial court fails to abide by its duty under the melbourne procedure is to reverse and remand for a new trial.” | 3 |
| 6 | Hayes v. State | green | “since the reason defense counsel offered was facially gender neutral, the trial court was then required to engage in step three-the genuineness analysis.” | 3 |
