District Court of Appeal of Florida December 30, 1998, No. 98-301 (McCray v. State)

PER CURIAM.

We are more than inclined to believe that the trial court erroneously permitted the prosecution to exercise a peremptory challenge upon a particular African American juror despite clear evidence that the proffered explanation for the strike was a pretex-tual attempt to disguise its actual, racial, motivation. See Melbourne v. State, 679 So.2d 759 (Fla.1996); State v. Sloppy, 522 So.
