California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Gonzalez, B294827 (Cal. App. 2020):
We presume the prosecutor exercised her peremptory challenges in a valid way. (People v. Gutierrez (2017) 2 Cal.5th 1150, 1159.) In assessing the prosecutor's credibility, the trial court is to look to its observations made during voir dire and to its own experiences. (Lenix, supra, 44 Cal.4th at p. 613.)
