Text: 28 Jones also argues that instruction number 22 erroneously required the jury's findings on mitigating circumstances to be unanimous. Notwithstanding Jones's procedural default with respect to this claim, which is not overcome by the effect of Missouri's mandatory review scheme as discussed in section III.B.2, supra, we find this argument foreclosed by our recent decisions in Griffin v. Delo, 33 F.3d 895, 905-06 (8th Cir.1994), cert. denied, --- U.S. ----, 115 S.Ct. 1981, 131 L.Ed.2d 869 (1995), and Battle, 19 F.3d at 1560-62. Taken as a whole, the instructions did not require unanimity.
