supra, 2 Cal.5th at pp. 1158-1159.) In examining whether a defendant has made a prima facie showing of discrimination we consider whether the defendant or victim is a member of an identified group challenged during voir dire, whether the prosecutor challenged a disproportionate number of members of that group, or whether the prosecutor engaged in only desultory voir dire. (People v. Scott (2015) 61 Cal.4th 363, 384.)
