Pitchford v. Cain · ¶18

For those reasons, the U. S. District Court ruled that the Mississippi Supreme Court unreasonably applied the clearly established Batson precedents and unreasonably determined that Pitchford had waived his opportunity to rebut the prosecutor's proffered race-neutral reasons at Batson's third step. Id., at 627. The U. S. Court of Appeals then reversed the District Court, concluding that the Mississippi Supreme Court's waiver finding was reasonable. See 126 F. 4th, at 431.
