State of Arizona, Appellee v. Francisco Miguel Urrea, Appellant.

Summary

The court held that restoring jurors improperly excluded through racially discriminatory peremptory strikes, while forfeiting the corresponding strikes, was a constitutionally adequate remedy and was not an abuse of discretion. Because the discriminatory strikes, challenge, and ruling occurred outside the jurors' presence, restoration appropriately returned the venire to its pre-discrimination status without requiring a mistrial. The court affirmed the conviction and sentence and vacated specified paragraphs of the court of appeals' opinion.
