(d)

1. (1) The court shall evaluate the reasons given to justify the peremptory challenge in light of the totality of the circumstances. The court shall consider only the reasons actually given and shall not speculate on, or assume the existence of, other possible justifications for the use of the peremptory challenge. If the court determines there is a substantial likelihood that an objectively reasonable person would view race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, or religious affiliation, or perceived membership in any of those groups, as a factor in the use of the peremptory challenge, then the objection shall be sustained. The court need not find purposeful discrimination to sustain the objection. The court shall explain the reasons for its ruling on the record. A motion brought under this section shall also be deemed a sufficient presentation of claims asserting the discriminatory exclusion of jurors in violation of the United States and California Constitutions.

2. (2)

   1. (A) For purposes of this section, an objectively reasonable person is aware that unconscious bias, in addition to purposeful discrimination, have resulted in the unfair exclusion of potential jurors in the State of California.
   2. (B) For purposes of this section, a “substantial likelihood” means more than a mere possibility but less than a standard of more likely than not.
   3. (C) For purposes of this section, “unconscious bias” includes implicit and institutional biases.

3. (3) In making its determination, the circumstances the court may consider include, but are not limited to, any of the following:

   1. (A) Whether any of the following circumstances exist:

      1. (i) The objecting party is a member of the same perceived cognizable group as the challenged juror.
      2. (ii) The alleged victim is not a member of that perceived cognizable group.
      3. (iii) Witnesses or the parties are not members of that perceived cognizable group.
   2. (B) Whether race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, or religious affiliation, or perceived membership in any of those groups, bear on the facts of the case to be tried.

   3. (C) The number and types of questions posed to the prospective juror, including, but not limited to, any of the following:

      1. (i) Consideration of whether the party exercising the peremptory challenge failed to question the prospective juror about the concerns later stated by the party as the reason for the peremptory challenge pursuant to subdivision (c).
      2. (ii) Whether the party exercising the peremptory challenge engaged in cursory questioning of the challenged potential juror.
      3. (iii) Whether the party exercising the peremptory challenge asked different questions of the potential juror against whom the peremptory challenge was used in contrast to questions asked of other jurors from different perceived cognizable groups about the same topic or whether the party phrased those questions differently.
   4. (D) Whether other prospective jurors, who are not members of the same cognizable group as the challenged prospective juror, provided similar, but not necessarily identical, answers but were not the subject of a peremptory challenge by that party.
   5. (E) Whether a reason might be disproportionately associated with a race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, or religious affiliation, or perceived membership in any of those groups.
   6. (F) Whether the reason given by the party exercising the peremptory challenge was contrary to or unsupported by the record.
   7. (G) Whether counsel or counsel’s office, if it is a public entity, exercising the challenge has used peremptory challenges disproportionately against a given race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, or religious affiliation, or perceived membership in any of those groups, in the present case or in past cases, including whether the counsel or counsel’s office, if it is a public entity, who made the challenge has a history of prior violations under Batson v. Kentucky (1986) 476 U.S. 79, People v. Wheeler (1978) 22 Cal.3d 258, Section 231.5, or this section.

(e) A peremptory challenge for any of the following reasons is presumed to be invalid unless the party exercising the peremptory challenge can show by clear and convincing evidence that an objectively reasonable person would view the rationale as unrelated to a prospective juror’s race, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, national origin, or religious affiliation, or perceived membership in any of those groups, and that the reasons articulated bear on the prospective juror’s ability to be fair and impartial in the case:

1. (1) Expressing a distrust of or having a negative experience with law enforcement or the criminal legal system.
2. (2) Expressing a belief that law enforcement officers engage in racial profiling or that criminal laws have been enforced in a discriminatory manner.
3. (3) Having a close relationship with people who have been stopped, arrested, or convicted of a crime.
4. (4) A prospective juror’s neighborhood.
5. (5) Having a child outside of marriage.
6. (6) Receiving state benefits.
7. (7) Not being a native English speaker.
8. (8) The ability to speak another language.
9. (9) Dress, attire, or personal appearance.
10. (10) Employment in a field that is disproportionately occupied by members listed in subdivision (a) or that serves a population disproportionately comprised of members of a group or groups listed in subdivision (a).
11. (11) Lack of employment or underemployment of the prospective juror or prospective juror’s family member.
12. (12) A prospective juror’s apparent friendliness with another prospective juror of the same group as listed in subdivision (a).
13. (13) Any justification that is similarly applicable to a questioned prospective juror or jurors, who are not members of the same cognizable group as the challenged prospective juror, but were not the subject of a peremptory challenge by that party. The unchallenged prospective juror or jurors need not share any other characteristics with the challenged prospective juror for peremptory challenge relying on this justification to be considered presumptively invalid.

(g)

1. (1) The following reasons for peremptory challenges have historically been associated with improper discrimination in jury selection:

   1. (A) The prospective juror was inattentive, or staring or failing to make eye contact.
   2. (B) The prospective juror exhibited either a lack of rapport or problematic attitude, body language, or demeanor.
   3. (C) The prospective juror provided unintelligent or confused answers.
2. (2) The reasons set forth in paragraph (1) are presumptively invalid unless the trial court is able to confirm that the asserted behavior occurred, based on the court’s own observations or the observations of counsel for the objecting party. Even with that confirmation, the counsel offering the reason shall explain why the asserted demeanor, behavior, or manner in which the prospective juror answered questions matters to the case to be tried.

(h) Upon a court granting an objection to the improper exercise of a peremptory challenge, the court shall do one or more of the following:

1. (1) Quash the jury venire and start jury selection anew. This remedy shall be provided if requested by the objecting party.
2. (2) If the motion is granted after the jury has been impaneled, declare a mistrial and select a new jury if requested by the defendant.
3. (3) Seat the challenged juror.
4. (4) Provide the objecting party additional challenges.
5. (5) Provide another remedy as the court deems appropriate.
