United States v. Loleta Allen-Brown
Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit
Decided March 27, 2001No. 99-13688PublishedCited by 42 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
RESTANI, Judge:
Appellant, Loleta Allen-Brown, seeks reversal of her conviction for importing cocaine and possession with intent to distribute. Allen-Brown alleges that Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), does not apply in this case or that it was applied in an erroneous manner by the trial court. We hold that the trial court properly inquired into the defense’s utilization of peremptory challenges and that Batson applies to race-based peremptory challenges made for the purposes of achieving a more diverse jury.
