The opinion

CLINTON, Judge,

concurring.

I agree with Judge Meyers that the court of appeals erred to conclude appellant did not present a prima facie case of Batson error in this cause. In my view, however, the trial court has yet to conduct a full-scale, proper Batson hearing on the question whether the prosecutor’s motives were in fact race neutral. I would therefore remand the cause to the trial court for an out of time Batson hearing to determine that issue.

MALONEY, J., concurs in the result.
