With no explanation, chose the best option from "A", "B", "C" or "D". claim be raised not only before trial, but in the period between the selection of the jurors and the administration of their oaths, is a sensible rule.”). We also note that the fact that the rule we adopt is widely followed by other jurisdictions — both federal and state — that have considered this issue. See, e.g., Morning v.

Ford, 2001 MT 230, ¶ 30, 306 Mont. 517, 39 P.3d 108 (<HOLDING>). We are aware of no case in any jurisdiction,

A: holding that defendants batson claim was strongly discounted by the fact that three africanamerican jurors were sworn in
B: holding that while batson claim was waived derivative claim that counsel was ineffective for failing to raise the batson claim is cognizable under the pcra
C: holding that a batson challenge is not timely if the jury has been sworn and the venire dismissed and observing that sjeveral jurisdictions have closely analyzed batsons language and concluded that the us supreme court envisioned that a batson challenge must be made before the jury is sworn while citing numerous state decisions barring batson objections after the jury is sworn and the venire is dismissed
D: holding batson challenge untimely because objection made after all jurors were sworn
