District of Columbia Court of Appeals April 18, 1994, 91-CF-1365 (Baxter v. United States)

SCHWELB, Associate Judge:

Andre L. Baxter was convicted by a jury of unlawful possession of cocaine with intent to distribute it, in violation of D.C.Code § 33-541(a)(1) (1992). On appeal, Baxter contends that the prosecutor peremptorily challenged potential jurors on the basis of age and sex, allegedly in violation of Baxter’s constitutional and statutory rights.
