Question presented
I. Whether, upon reversing Respondent’s conviction on grounds that: “The trial court erred in failing to conduct a proper analysis under the third step of a Batson review,” the South Carolina Court of Appeals decided an important federal question in a way that conflicts with relevant decisions of this Court, and whether the South Carolina Supreme Court improperly allowed that decision to stand by declining to conduct a discretionary review of the Court of Appeals’ decision despite the existence of these conflicts.
