P. v. Candler
Reginald Mark Candler appeals from a judgment entered following a jury verdict finding him guilty of possessing ammunition and being a felon in possession of a firearm. He contends the judgment should be vacated because the trial court erred in declaring a mistrial after excusing two jurors for cause, and the retrial violated the double jeopardy provisions of the federal and California constitutions. He also contends the judgment should be reversed because the court erred in denying his Batson/Wheeler motion,[1] brought after the prosecutor used peremptory challenges to excuse three prospective African-American jurors. Finding no error, we affirm.
