State v. Jenkins

331 S.W.3d 743, 2011 Mo. App. LEXIS 240, 2011 WL 690607

Opinion

ORDER

PER CURIAM:

Richard Jenkins was convicted following a jury trial of forcible sodomy and attempted forcible rape. He raises a single claim on appeal: that the trial court erroneously overruled his challenge under Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1986), to the State’s peremptory strike of an African-American member of the jury venire. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, a memorandum setting forth the reasons for this order has been provided to the parties. Rule 80.25(b).
