Miller-El v. Dretke, 545 U.S. 231 (2005), is a United States Supreme Court case that clarified the constitutional limitations on the use by prosecutors of peremptory challenges and of the Texas procedure termed the "jury shuffle.

In June 2005, the Supreme Court ruled 6–3 to overturn Miller-El's death sentence, finding his jury selection process had been tainted by racial bias.

The Court had held in Batson that a defendant could rely on "all relevant circumstances" in making out a prima facie case of purposeful discrimination.

"[2] Specifically, the Court allowed statistical analysis of the venire,[3] side-by-side comparison of struck and empaneled jurors,[4] disparate questioning,[5] and evidence of historical discrimination.

[6] In 2008, Miller-El pleaded guilty to the 1985 murder of Douglas Walker, a Holiday Inn clerk who had been bound, gagged, then shot to death.
