Heading: Peremptory Strike of Prospective Juror Harris.

Text: The reason given by the State for striking Harris was that she had been inattentive during voir dire. Inattentiveness during voir dire has been upheld as a valid race-neutral reason for striking potential jurors. See, e.g., Trigger v. State, 275 Ga. 512, 514-515, 570 S.E.2d 323 (2002), overruled on other grounds in Wilson v. State, 277 Ga. 195, 199, 586 S.E.2d 669 (2003); Roundtree v. State, 270 Ga. 504, 506-507, 511 S.E.2d 190 (1999).
