1Opinion of the CourtAlexander, J.
[¶ 1] Rory C. Holland appeals from the judgment of conviction of one count of criminal mischief (Class D), 17-A M.R.S. § 806(1)(A) (2008), entered in the Superior Court (Androscoggin County, Delahanty, J.) following a jury trial. Holland argues that the court erred when it: (1) denied his challenge to the lack of racial diversity in his jury pool; (2) denied his challenge to certain jurors for cause; and (3) denied his request for a jury instruction on the competing harms defense pursuant to 17-A M.R.S. § 103 (2008). 1 We affirm the judgment.
