The following excerpt is from People v. Macioce, 197 Cal.App.3d 262, 242 Cal.Rptr. 771 (Cal. App. 1987):
It is Macioce's position that the prosecutor used his challenges systematically to exclude women, and particularly "battered women," from the jury. She relies principally on People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258, 148 Cal.Rptr. 890, 583 P.2d 748.
