Nebraska Supreme Court April 9, 2004, S-03-445 (State v. Lowe)

*784

McCormack, J.

NATURE OF CASE

In his appeal from a criminal conviction, James Lowe contends that the trial court erred when it rejected his claim of discrimination in the use of a peremptory challenge employed by the prosecution. Lowe claims that several male jurors were struck from the venire because of gender in violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution.
