Description
Appellant was convicted of delivering cocaine in violation of the Texas Controlled Substances Act. His punishment, enhanced by two prior felony convictions, was assessed at imprisonment for 45 years. On appeal, he alleged that four African-Americans were purposefully excluded from the jury selected to try him in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, as authoritatively construed in Batson v. Kentucky, The Court of Appeals, however, affirmed his conviction, holding that no error arose from the exclusion of these veniremembers because Appellant failed to establish at trial a prima facie case of deliberate racial discrimination by the State.
