Jabari Williams v. Louisiana.

Summary

The Supreme Court granted the petition for a writ of certiorari, vacated the judgment, and remanded the case to the Louisiana Court of Appeal for further consideration in light of Foster v. Chatman. The Court held that Louisiana’s procedural rule allowing a trial judge to supply a race‑neutral reason for a peremptory strike does not satisfy the Batson framework, which requires the prosecutor to provide that reason.
