Lowe v. State

548 So. 2d 1087, 1989 Ala. LEXIS 570, 1989 WL 116488

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

We deny defendant’s petition for certio-rari. However, in so doing, we are not to be understood to agree with the rationale used by the Court of Criminal Appeals to conclude that Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), does not apply in this case. See the standards we set forth in Ex parte Branch, 526 So.2d 609 (Ala.1986).

WRIT DENIED.

HORNSBY, C.J., and MADDOX, ALMON, ADAMS and STEAGALL, JJ., concur.
