Supreme Court of California

Defendant's convictions and capital sentence for one count of first degree murder, one count of attempted willful, premeditated murder, six counts of first degree, three counts of carjacking, one count of first degree burglary, two counts of rape in concert and two counts of forcible oral copulation in concert, are affirmed, where: 1) the trial court properly exercised its discretion in consolidating the capital and non-capital charges; 2) the trial court did not improperly excuse those jurors who expressed an unequivocal inability to apply the death penalty regardless of the evidence; and 3) defendant's remaining challenging to the guilt and penalty phases fail.
