Amended Opinion 2
VOROS, Judge:
11 Armando Flores served for five years as a leader of a West Valley City church congregation. In 2012, he was convicted of sexual battery and unlawful detention for acts committed on a member of his congregation. Flores appeals his convictions, arguing that the trial court erred by prohibiting voir dire questions intended to uncover potential jurors' religious biases. Flores also argues that the State used its peremptory challenges improperly during voir dire, violating his rights under the Equal Protection Clause. We affirm. -
