What is the test for establishing a prima facie case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Johnson, 1 Cal.Rptr.3d 1, 30 Cal.4th 1302, 71 P.3d 270 (Cal. 2003):
The trial court should have found a prima facie case and asked the prosecutor to explain the basis for the challenges. The court's failure to do so is error, and reversible per se. (See People v. Fuentes, supra, 54 Cal.3d at p. 715, 286 Cal.Rptr. 792, 818 P.2d 75; People v. Snow (1987) 44 Cal.3d 216, 226-227, 242 Cal.Rptr. 477, 746
[1 Cal.Rptr.3d 32]
P.2d 452; People v. Turner, supra, 42 Cal.3d at p. 728, 230 Cal.Rptr. 656, 726 P.2d 102.)[1 Cal.Rptr.3d 32]
