The court emphasized that the petitioner "absolutely personally observed the racial composition of his jury venire and finally selected jury." Id. (quoting Wellborn, No. 1:05-CV-346, 2009 WL 891708, at *3). Finally, the court distinguished Amadeo v. Zant, 486 U.S. 214 (1998), upon which the petitioner relied, because the petitioner did not allege, or advance any evidence of, "any intentional effort to exclude any particular racial or gender group from the jury venire."
