Full title: THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, Respondent, v. EDDIE WHITE, Appellant

Court: Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department

Date published: Mar 16, 1995

213 A.D.2d 258 (N.Y. App. Div. 1995)

624 N.Y.S.2d 817

Opinion

March 16, 1995

Appeal from the Supreme Court, New York County (Rena Uviller, J.).

The prosecutor offered a reasonable and race-neutral explanation for the peremptory challenge of one black venireperson. That explanation was supported by the record, and was unchallenged by defendant. Thus, there is no basis for defendant's current claim that the trial court erred in accepting the prosecutor's explanation for the peremptory challenge in question (People v. Hernandez, 75 N.Y.2d 350, affd 500 U.S. 352).

Concur — Sullivan, J.P., Ellerin, Wallach, Kupferman and Mazzarelli, JJ.
