Appeal from the Supreme Court, Bronx County (Robert Seewald, J.).
The trial court correctly ruled that the prosecutor's use of six of her ten peremptory challenges to strike four African-Americans and two others who defendant claimed were Blacks but the prosecutor and court claimed were Hispanics, did not make out a prima facie showing of discrimination against African-Americans, the prosecutor having offered sufficient race-neutral explanations for her striking of the jurors.
