U.S. Supreme Court
Batson, a Black man, was on trial charged with second-degree burglary and receipt of stolen goods. During the jury selection, the prosecutor used his peremptory challenges to strike the four Black persons on the venire, resulting in a jury composed of all whites. Batson was convicted on both of the charges against him.
