## Opinion text

VICTORY, J.,
concurs in the result.*
_JjI concur in the result reached by the majority. However, I point out that given the majority’s determination that the trial court’s ruling on the reverse Batson challenges was error, the entire discussion about the validity of the trial court’s remedy for the Batson violations is dicta.
