MONTIEL, Judge,

dissenting.

I dissent from the majority’s holding in Part III of the court’s memorandum that Batson v. Kentucky, 476 U.S. 79, 106 S.Ct. 1712, 90 L.Ed.2d 69 (1976), does not extend to gender-based strikes. I adhere to my dissent as expressed in Bankhead v. State, 625 So.2d 1141 (Ala.Crim.App.1992).
