THE COURT: 
 
 
 
The opinion herein, filed August 12, 2002, appearing at 28 Cal.4th 946, is 
modified as follows: 
 
1.  Insert the following footnote at the end of the final paragraph on page 
984:   “Defendant further contends the trial court violated her statutory rights 
(see Code Civ. Proc., § 231, subd. (a); Pen. Code, § 1089) and her right to due 
process in allowing the prosecution two peremptory challenges and the defense 
only one during the selection of a replacement for Juror Fred L.  At the time the 
court dismissed Fred L., defendant had exhausted her peremptory challenges and 
the prosecution had two remaining.  The record thus establishes she received 
more than her statutory allotment and accordingly suffered no violation of rights.  
(Cf. People v. Armendariz (1984) 37 Cal.3d 573, 579-584 [reversible error in 
 
 
2
failing to reopen jury selection and permit exercise of unused peremptory 
challenges].)” 
 
This modification does not affect the judgment.
