  3. Washington v. State

    519 S.E.2d 234 (Ga. Ct. App. 1999)   Cited 7 times

    (b) Washington contends that his counsel was ineffective for not choosing to submit a motion pursuant to Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79 ( 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.E.2d 69) (1986). Because Washington failed to supplement the record pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-41 (f) or to obtain sufficient stipulation pursuant to OCGA § 5-6-41 (i), he has not carried his burden to prove the existence of a Batson issue. Love v. State, 205 Ga. App. 27, 28 (1) ( 421 S.E.2d 125) (1992); see Sharp v. Fagan, 215 Ga. App. 44, 44-45 (1) ( 449 S.E.2d 648) (1994).

Pretermitting the issue of whether such a statement is sufficient to perfect the record, see Sharp v. Fagan, 215 Ga. App. 44 (1) ( 449 S.E.2d 648) (1994) and Shaw v. State, 201 Ga. App. 438, 439-440 (1) ( 411 S.E.2d 534) (1991), there is no indication in the record of the makeup of the jury which was actually sworn to try the two defendants, as required for a prima facie showing of racial discrimination.
