Broadnax v. Texas

Whether the state’s considering race as a basis for striking prospective jurors, shown by its listing prospective jurors by race on a spreadsheet used during jury selection, and now confirmed by newly disclosed evidence of similar notations on a chart used during jury selection at Petitioner’s co-defendant’s trial and by newly obtained affidavits from three struck prospective Black jurors, violated the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment under Batson v. Kentucky.
