Heading: Refusal to Delete Inapplicable Mitigating Factors.

Text: At the conclusion of the penalty phase, the jury was given the standard instruction to consider, if applicable, each of the statutory mitigating and aggravating factors, except the court deleted factor (e) (victim's participation or consent). [20] (§ 190.3; see CALJIC No. 8.84.1.) Defendant argues the court was required to delete factors (f), (g) and (h) from the instructions, as inapplicable to this case. As we recently made clear in People v. Miranda, supra, 44 Cal.3d 57, 104-105 (1978 law) and People v. Ghent, supra, 43 Cal.3d 739, 776-777 (1977 law), however, deletion of inapplicable mitigating factors is not required.
