if i read the article right then the strikes used were ones that the legal teams can use on potential jurors before asking the jurors any questions? why even allow this stage of the selection process if you're not allowed to strike people based on race? the whole thing is blatantly based on sterotyping people, whether that be on ethnicity or age or how they dress. and how can you ever prove that a lawyers motivation was racial? i'm not suprised that the judge didn't humour the prosecutors objections over this. i am surprised that the rule even exists in the first place though.
