(Question #3) Did the prosecution's peremptory strikes violate Williamson's rights under Batson v. Kentucky (1986)?
 
  Williamson was convicted of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance. During voir dire questioning the trial judge asked whether any member of the panel had any experience involving yourself, any member of your family, or any close friend that relates to the use or possession of illegal drugs or narcotics? The judge also asked a similar question in regard to criminal matters. In response to these questions, thirteen members of the venireincluding the only two black venire members responded that they, a family member, or a close friend had some drug involvement. During follow-up questions, the prosecution asked questions only of the black venire members, focusing on their associations with persons who had drug involvement, and used peremptory strikes against the two black venire members. Williamson objected, arguing that the strikes were based on race. The prosecution offered, as a race neutral explanation, that the two struck African American jurors were the only persons that the government is aware of on the panel who stated that they had friends and relatives. . . . that had been convicted of drug offenses and were still using drugs and that she associated with both the friends and the relatives. The trial court overruled Williamson's Batson objection.

(Question #6) Does the introduction of three clips at Yevakpor's trial violate his due process right to a fair trial?
 
  Kofi Yevakpor was charged with importing heroin from Canada. The Government's evidence included three one-minute video segments out of twenty-five minutes recorded at a border entry customs area by a series of video cameras which run continuously. The video clips were recorded during the border stop and search. The images are recorded on a DVR machine and are preserved on a compact disc. A Border Patrol supervisor directed that the three portions of the encounter with Yevakpor be preserved. The rest of the video recording was destroyed, although it would have been relatively easy and inexpensive to preserve. The video segments do not clearly show the results of any search or a search of Yevakpor or of his companion before, during or after the border stop. They do purport to show Yevakpor being detained at the secondary inspection area, carrying suitcases from the car into the inspection area, a search of suitcases by officers, Yevakpor's attempted use of a cellular telephone and his allegedly giving materials or documents to a companion.
  What will be an ideal response?
