Opinions
The judgment is reversed, and the case is remanded to the trial court for further consideration of the question whether, during voir dire, counsel for plaintiff exercised his peremptory challenges in a racially discriminatory manner. On remand, the trial judge shall accord appropriate weight to the statistical evidence, and shall apply a more rigorous standard of scrutiny to counsel’s explanations for his strikes.
So ordered.
