   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  16-1806
   U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis   
   [PUBLISHED] [Benton, Author, with Loken and Riley, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - Civil rights. The district court did not err in denying 
   plaintiff's Batson challenge as the defendants offered a legitimate, 
   race-neutral ground for the strike; hospital records showing plaintiff was 
   belligerent and uncooperative when brought in for treatment after the 
   alleged incident of excessive force were cumulative of other evidence and 
   their admission, if error, was harmless; no error in refusing to admit 
   evidence that an officer who failed to preserve a video had received and 
   sent racist emails, as evidence of his bias was only minimally probative 
   and the danger of unfair bias to the defendants, who were not associated 
   with the emails, warranted exclusion of the evidence; the district court 
   did not err in refusing to sanction the defendants with an adverse 
   inference instruction concerning the destruction of the videotape.
