Text: ¶ 7. On appellate review, a trial court's determinations under Batson are accorded great deference because they are largely based on credibility. Berry v. State, 802 So.2d 1033, 1037 (Miss.2001) (citing McGilberry v. State, 741 So.2d 894, 923 (Miss. 1999)). The appellate court will reverse only when such decisions are clearly erroneous. Berry, 802 So.2d 1033, 1037 (citing Woodward v. State, 726 So.2d 524, 530 (Miss.1998); Lockett v. State, 517 So.2d 1346, 1349-50 (Miss.1987)).
