Supreme Court of Alabama

Ex Parte Christopher Anthony Floyd (in Re: Christopher Anthony Floyd v. State of Alabama)

November 18, 2016227 So. 3d 1

Summary

On remand from the United States Supreme Court, the court reconsidered whether the prosecutor purposefully discriminated against African-American and female prospective jurors. It held that the intervening decision did not alter its prior conclusion that the record failed to establish a Batson or J.E.B. violation, and it reinstated its prior judgment affirming the Court of Criminal Appeals. No separate opinions were filed.
