Terrell Harris v. Commonwealth of Kentucky

Issues include whether the Commonwealth engaged in purposeful discrimination when it used a peremptory strike to remove the sole black juror from the panel; the stated race-neutral reason for the strike was provided by the law enforcement representative, a corrections officer; and the corrections officer testified that the black juror stared at him during voir dire and had the same name as a former inmate housed in the corrections officer’s jail. Oral arguments heard on March 12, 2026.
