What is the test for determining whether a prosecutor's reasons are sufficient in a criminal case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Sepulveda, F072487 (Cal. App. 2018):
trial court need not question the prosecutor or make detailed findings. But when the prosecutor's stated reasons are either unsupported by the record, inherently implausible, or both, more is required of the trial court than a global finding that the reasons appear sufficient." (People v. Silva (2001) 25 Cal.4th 345, 386.)
