What is the test for finding that there was purposeful discrimination in the jury selection process?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Wills, 88 F.3d 704 (9th Cir. 1996):
Wills argues that the district court clearly erred in finding that he failed to make a prima facie showing that the Government's peremptory challenges of two jurors during the jury selection demonstrated racial discrimination. "A district court's findings regarding purposeful discrimination in the jury selection process will not be disturbed unless clearly erroneous." United States v. Vasquez-Lopez, 22 F.3d 900, 901 (9th Cir.), cert. denied, 513 U.S. 891, 115 S.Ct. 239, 130 L.Ed.2d 162 (1994).
