Floyd v. Alabama

(1) Whether the Alabama courts' failure to find racial and gender discrimination in the selection of Mr. Floyd's jury, where the prosecutor had a documented history of racial discrimination, marked African American venire members with a "B" on his strike list, then struck ten of eleven qualified African American prospective jurors, conflicts with this Court's precedent in Batson v. Kentucky and J.E.B. v. Alabama; and (2) whether this Court should hold this case in abeyance pending its resolution of Foster v. Chatman.
