Description
Delano Fitzgerald James was convicted by a jury in the Circuit Court of the City of Richmond of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. He was sentenced to forty years imprisonment with execution of ten years suspended and was fined $100,000. James appealed his conviction, arguing that the Commonwealth used its peremptory strikes to remove two African-American veniremen from the jury panel for racially based reasons in violation of Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 90 L. Ed. 2d 69, 106 S. Ct. 1712 (1986). The Court of Appeals, in an unpublished opinion, affirmed Jamess conviction, holding that the Commonwealths reasons for striking the two veniremen were race-neutral and, therefore, the trial court did not err in overruling Jamess Batson challenge. We awarded James an appeal and, for the reasons stated below, we will affirm.
