WILLIAMS v. STATE

No. 88-00480.

567 So.2d 1062 (1990)

Johnnie WILLIAMS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.

District Court of Appeal of Florida, Second District.

October 12, 1990.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, and D.P. Chanco, Asst. Public Defender, Bartow, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Michele Taylor, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.


PER CURIAM.

Johnnie Williams appeals his conviction for grand theft. He argues that the state's challenge to one black jury venireman was racially motivated, and that the trial court failed to conduct the inquiry required by State v. Neil, 457 So.2d 481 (Fla. 1984). However, the burden initially lies with the defendant to demonstrate a likelihood of discriminatory motivation. See Verdelotti v. State,
