Defendants first claim that the prosecutor used a peremptory challenge to exclude a black juror on the grounds of race in violation of their right to equal protection of the laws. The trial court's finding that the prosecutor lacked a discriminatory motive is reviewed under the clearly erroneous standard. United States v.
