Walton v. State

In Walton v. State, 224 Ga. App. 249, 250-251 (2) (480 SE2d 284) (1997), the Court affirmed the trial court's denial of a Batson challenge to a peremptory strike when the prosecutor stated that she struck the juror because, when the juror served as a foreperson in another of her cases earlier in the week, the juror was not "receptive," fell asleep during her closing argument, and she felt unable to make a connection with the juror. Id. at 250.
