Critical Thinking: Famous Football Star Oxford Jack Wilson Is About to Stand

Critical Thinking:
Famous football star Oxford Jack Wilson is about to stand trial for murdering his brother-in-law, a man who had also served as his agent and accountant. Just before jury selection is about to begin, you are hired as a consultant to assist his legal team. You immediately offer three suggestions. Your first is that the legal defense team attempt to get as many men-preferably football fans-on the jury as possible. Your next suggestion is to make sure that the courtroom is packed with members of the media, in the hope of making Oxford Jack appear to be a celebrity. Your final suggestion is that the attorneys do whatever they can to have potentially-damaging DNA evidence excluded before trial. The lawyers get to work on immediately implementing your ideas.
-If prosecutors attempt to exclude African-Americans from the jury by use of peremptory challenges, then:

A) This would not be grounds for appeal, as per the Supreme Court's ruling in Batson v. Kentucky
B) This would not be grounds for appeal, as only gender discrimination is grounds for appeal
C) The precedent in Taylor v. Louisiana would be directly applicable to the matter at hand
D) This could serve as grounds for appeal, as per the Supreme Court's ruling in Batson v Kentucky
