Description
Defendants John Paul Reynoso and Julian Jesus Reynoso were jointly tried and convicted by a jury of the first degree murder of Mario Martinez and related offenses. The trial court rejected a defense motion challenging the prosecutor's peremptory excusal of two Hispanic jurors as unconstitutionally based on group bias. (Batson v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 79 (Batson) [U.S. Const.]; People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258 (Wheeler) [Cal. Const.].) The Court of Appeal disagreed respecting the peremptory excusal of one of the two jurors, and on that basis reversed the judgments. We granted the People's petitions for review and consolidated both matters for purposes of oral argument and opinion.
