  • holding that any doubt as to whether the complaining party has met its initial burden should be resolved in that party's favor
  • striking one African-American venire member who was sole minority available for jury service created strong likelihood
  • striking of only black venire member shifts burden to require justification for challenge
  • black woman allegedly challenged because she was a teacher, yet white teacher not challenged
  • African-American defendant's assertion that African-American prospective juror would be unable to relate to defendant's situation based on facts in record constituted race-neutral, non-pretextual reason for striking juror
