Court of Appeals of Georgia
1Opinion of the Court
McMurray, Presiding Judge.
Defendant was tried before a jury and convicted on two counts of armed robbery, two counts of violating Georgia’s Firearms and Weapons Act and one count of aggravated assault. This appeal followed the denial of defendant’s motion for new trial. Held:
1. Defendant contends the trial court erred in failing to grant his motion to assemble another jury panel, arguing that the State exercised six peremptory strikes in a racially discriminatory manner in violation of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U. S. 79 (106 SC 1712, 90 LE2d 69).
