How have the courts interpreted the arguments of the prosecutor in their peremptory challenges?

The parties agree that because the trial court asked the prosecutor to justify the use of his peremptory challenges, we must proceed to an analysis of the prosecutor's stated reasons. In this situation, we infer the trial court found that the defense presented a prima facie case of discriminatory intent, "and the only question remaining is whether the individual justifications were adequate. [Citations.]" (People v. Arias (1996) 13 Cal.4th 92, 135.)

Accordingly, we turn to the individual justifications of the prosecutor for the challenges.
