In Stevens v. Epps, No. 09-70009, a capital habeas matter, the court affirmed the denial of petitioner’s habeas petition, holding that, because the trial court allowed a juror to be struck after having rejected the prosecutor’s assertion that she did not complete her juror questionnaire, it was not unreasonable for the Mississippi Supreme Court to conclude that the trial court implicitly credited the prosecutor’s assertion that he struck the juror because she was inattentive, and thus, that court properly rejected petitioner’s Batson claim.
