Acceptable race-neutral reasons for strikes where: “the juror had twice r eceived traffic tickets from one of the officer-witnesses and “ had threatened [officer] was a ‘voodoo curse. ’” Note, “[w]here the State has specific information that a juror’s relative has been convicted of a crime, there is no purpose in requiring the State to question the juror about the relation, since the State would be entitled to strike the juror regardless of his or her response to the question.” Distinguishing “ Ridley v. State, 235 Ga.App. 591, 510 S.E.2d 113 (1998), where the prosecutor struck two jurors simply because their last names were the same as defendants who had previously been prosecuted, without any information that there was a relationship between the jurors and such defendants.” 22. STRIKES BASED ON PRIOR JURY EXPERIENCE Allen v. State, 299 Ga.App. 201, 683 S.E.2d 343 (July 15, 2009). Strikes were race neutral: “As to the first juror, the State explained that the juror had previously served on a hung jury. See Richard v. State, 223 Ga.App. 98, 99, 476 S.E.2d 849 (1996) (‘[w]e have previously held that strikes based on a panel member's service on a prior “hung jury” in a criminal case were not discriminatory’). Bass v. State, 271 Ga.App. 228, 609 S.E.2d 386 (January 6, 2005). “‘ Previous participation in a verdict of not guilty in a criminal trial is a legitimate race-neutral reason to exercise a strike ... as is acquaintance with a member of the defendant’s family.’ [Cit.] It follows that being the lone holdout for acquittal in a criminal trial and having a familial relationship with an acquaintance of a defense witness are also race-neutral reasons for exercising strikes. Finally, ‘[a] prospective juror’s knowledge of the defendant is a legitimate explanation for a peremptory strike.’ [Cit.]” Knuckles v. State, 236 Ga.App. 449, 512 S.E.2d 333 (February 12, 1999). Fact that jurors had previously served on a jury which acquitted a defendant was a race-neutral basis for strike. Smith v. State, 236 Ga.App. 122, 511 S.E.2d 233 (January 27, 1999). “A race-neutral explanation need not be persuasive, plausible or even make sense,” citing Jackson v. State, 265 Ga. 897, 899, 463 S.E.2d 699 (1995), “but must simply be ‘based on something other than the race of the juror. Unless a discriminatory intent is inherent in the proponent’s explanation, the reason offered will be deemed race neutral.’ (Citations and punctuation omitted.) Id .” “ Previous participation in a verdict of not guilty in a criminal trial is a legitimate race-neutral reason to exercise a strike. Richard v. State, 223 Ga.App. 98, 99, 476 S.E.2d 849 (1996). 23. STRIKES BASED ON PRIOR LIFE EXPERIENCE/OR LACK OF Bell v. State, 306 Ga.App. 853, 703 S.E.2d 680 (October 26, 2010). Burglary conviction affirmed; strike of juror whose husband was disabled was race-neutral and not incredible, especially given that defendant had “filed pretrial notice of intent to raise the issue of insanity, mental incompetence, or mental retardation.” Mayberry v. State, 301 Ga.App. 503, 687 S.E.2d 893 (November 23, 2009). Race-neutral strike: at black defendant’s trial for aggravated sodomy of white victim, prosecutor struck black juror who had a “bad experience” with interracial dating. “Mayberry's defense asserted that the victim lied about the incident because her family would not approve of a consensual relationship with Mayberry.” Blackshear v. State, 285 Ga. 619, 680 S.E.2d 850 (June 29, 2009). State’s strikes were race-neutral. “The State explained that one prospective juror was removed because she had been a victim in a previous case and had been uncooperative with the prosecutor's office. See Oliver v. State, 276 Ga. 665(4) (581 S.E.2d 538) (2003) (strike based on prosecutor's knowledge that juror was victim in previous crime and declined to prosecute is race-neutral). Bethune v. State, 291 Ga.App. 674, 662 S.E.2d 774 (May 23, 2008). Strike was race-neutral: “when she was asked on the juror questionnaire if she had ever served on a jury, she responded that ‘I don't know what a juror is.’”
