Was the judge's failure to find that Franco's peremptory dismissal made out a prima facie case of dismissal for racial reasons?
Francisco Alvarado was convicted of delivery of cocaine within 1,000 feet of a church. During voir dire the only person of "Mexican descent," Norma Franco, was dismissed peremptorily from the jury by the prosecutor. Franco indicated that, about 15 or 16 years ago, her older sister was involved with drugs and sought help in ultimately overcoming her drug problem. Franco stated that she was not close to her sister at that time and was not involved in her sister's rehabilitation and treatment. Franco indicated that her sister had not had contact with the criminal justice system as a result of her drug use. The State did not ask Franco individually any other questions regarding her family and her ability to serve on defendant's jury before dismissing her. Defense counsel made a Batson challenge and the prosecutor gave, as a race-neutral reason for the dismissal, the involvement of her sister with drugs and "[n]othing to do with her origins. The trial judge dismissed the Batson challenge. The State used other peremptory challenges to dismiss other jurors. On defense motion, the other juror profiles were preserved. On appeal it was noted that "six other venirepersons also had relatives or friends who were involved with drugs in their pasts, yet they were not challenged." What will be an ideal response?
