Imagine you are a defense attorney in the middle of jury selection. Your client is a Black male who is being charged with the murder of a White female. You notice that the prosecution has eliminated two potential jurors who are Black males. Based on the prosecution's questioning, you believe they have eliminated these jurors for good reason (from their standpoint). However, you are considering making a Brady challenge, because you think, based on those juror's responses, would help your case. It could look like the prosecution was eliminating them due to race, even though you don't really believe that's what happened. What do you do, and why?
What will be an ideal response?
