United States Ninth Circuit

In a murder prosecution, a denial of petitioner's habeas petition is affirmed where, at most, the jury questions suggested that the jury was uncertain about the application of the felony-murder instruction in the context of aiding and abetting, but there was no indication in the record that the jury imported this uncertainty into its application of the special-circumstance instructions.
